REAL AF with Andy Frisella - 1： Welcome to Reality

00:00:00.000 I told my teacher, dumb bitch, I'm going to get millions, in a project living, spoke it 1.00

00:00:05.680 to existence, mold changed to 50, got mold cost than did it, I only weigh 180, but my

00:00:11.720 watch cost 250, what's up guys, you're listening to Real AF, my name is Andy Fursella, a lot

00:00:18.880 of you guys know who I am and some of you don't, you're probably wondering who the fuck

00:00:21.960 is this guy, well I'm going to tell you something, I'm someone who fucking cares, okay, I can't

00:00:26.800 be the only motherfucker on the face of the earth that thinks the world is crazy, I can't

00:00:31.020 be the only one looking around wondering what is wrong with everybody, I can't be the only

00:00:35.480 one looking around thinking holy shit, we're going the wrong way, I know I'm not, I know

00:00:42.260 you think it too, that's why you're here, I am joined by my co-host, the pastor of Disaster,

00:00:49.900 pastor of Disaster, otherwise known as DJ DJ God, sometimes known as Von Kohler, and he's

00:00:57.840 here in the flesh, right in front of me, all the way from, where are you from?

00:01:04.340 Kansas.

00:01:05.020 Kansas?

00:01:05.920 Yeah man.

00:01:06.540 Bro, Kansas?

00:01:08.000 So much has happened.

00:01:09.840 Come on.

00:01:10.600 I know, people who follow us are going to be a little confused, wait, I thought you lived

00:01:14.980 in St. Louis, I did live in St. Louis, but I wanted to move back home, and that's what

00:01:18.720 I did, and now, it's a little longer commute to come hang out with you.

00:01:23.060 It sure is.

00:01:23.900 Five hours between here and Manhattan, Kansas, but I love it, and it's good to be home, and

00:01:28.940 I tell you what man, but I'm excited about the ongoing conversation between Andy Frisella

00:01:34.660 and Von Kohler.

00:01:35.660 Yeah, I am too.

00:01:37.020 So dude, I gotta ask, and this is legitimate, and if you're in Kansas and this offends you,

00:01:41.800 well, you should probably fucking move, because it's true, what the fuck is in Kansas, bro,

00:01:46.560 that's good?

00:01:47.000 Because the only thing I've ever seen of Kansas is when I stole a car and drove it from Denver

00:01:51.020 to fucking St. Louis, really fucking fast.

00:01:53.920 No, I get it, I get it.

00:01:54.880 So, like, I looked around, and I saw a couple windmills, I saw a couple farms, and then I

00:02:01.100 came back to civilization, so what is in Kansas, bro?

00:02:03.780 Well, first of all, I totally understand you being from Missouri and wondering what's good

00:02:08.060 about Kansas, because the whole animosity between Kansas and Missouri goes back to the Civil

00:02:12.280 War and the Border War, and of course, literally for the last 100, 200 years in athletics, we've

00:02:18.760 been kicking your butts on pretty much every level.

00:02:21.820 So, I understand, I get it, I get it.

00:02:24.200 What sport?

00:02:24.840 Like, well, the Jayhawks have pretty much owned the Tigers.

00:02:26.940 Wait, wait, wait, outside of the Kansas Jayhawks, what else?

00:02:31.280 Well, K-State has a pretty good record against the Tigers, I think, in football.

00:02:35.060 That's garbage, bro.

00:02:36.260 Dude, they're not, they're 8-4 this year.

00:02:37.640 They're fucking garbage.

00:02:38.960 Who'd they lose to this year?

00:02:40.140 Well, they lost to Texas, but-

00:02:41.040 They did lose to Texas, and you try to talk shit-

00:02:43.020 I have it on good authority that that game was fixed.

00:02:45.120 Oh, okay.

00:02:46.120 God tell you that?

00:02:47.500 Yes.

00:02:48.460 But-

00:02:48.800 If God loves you so much, how come Kansas lost?

00:02:50.840 Kansas State lost?

00:02:51.600 Teach me humility.

00:02:52.500 Oh, okay, all right.

00:02:53.140 You can't win too much, man.

00:02:54.340 Hey, winners win, bitch. 1.00

00:02:55.600 Yeah, that's true.

00:02:56.460 That's right.

00:02:57.340 So, no, but to answer your question, what's good in Kansas, for me, it's just home, you know?

00:03:02.740 So, there's a great philosopher, Yifu Tuan, who said, tell me where you're from, and I'll

00:03:07.980 tell you who you are, and Kansas has shaped me more than anything else, I think, other

00:03:12.300 than my faith and my marriage.

00:03:14.220 It gave you a pretty aerodynamic haircut up there, buddy.

00:03:16.200 It did.

00:03:16.700 It gave me a very, it blew all the hair off, right?

00:03:18.140 It literally shaped you.

00:03:19.080 Yeah, it definitely did.

00:03:20.500 But I'll tell you something that I missed, and I love the good people of St. Louis, but

00:03:24.180 St. Louis is a big city, you know?

00:03:26.340 And you always made fun of me that I was kind of this hipster coffee shop nerd.

00:03:30.700 Because you are.

00:03:31.400 Yeah, kind of I am.

00:03:32.860 But one of the things that I really missed was every Saturday morning in particular, I

00:03:37.900 would go to my favorite coffee shop in Manhattan, Kansas, Blue Stem Bistro, and there was a

00:03:41.860 group of guys that I just had great conversations with about life.

00:03:45.960 Are they still there?

00:03:46.840 They're still there.

00:03:47.640 Are you?

00:03:48.360 One of them was alive and went to see Elvis.

00:03:51.520 Have you reinserted yourself into this little group?

00:03:54.260 I don't like the term reinsert myself when it comes to men.

00:03:57.160 Why are you trying to steal my joke?

00:03:58.980 You fucked up my joke.

00:04:00.220 I'm sorry.

00:04:00.860 I'm going there, dude.

00:04:02.240 That's what happens when you work with somebody for so long, you know?

00:04:05.780 Damn, dude, just trying to wreck my jokes.

00:04:07.560 I know, I know.

00:04:08.560 But anyway, no, my buddy Ron, he's got a Beatles haircut.

00:04:11.800 He was alive to see Elvis perform, so he's great.

00:04:14.160 That's pretty cool.

00:04:14.740 Then there's some college students that are newbies to the group.

00:04:17.600 But it's really good, man.

00:04:18.660 But there's so much crazy going on that it's kind of my little oasis, you know?

00:04:24.860 And we're talking about lots of different things about, like, you know, there's so much

00:04:28.700 complaining.

00:04:29.840 Obviously, our culture is pretty screwed up on any number of things.

00:04:34.240 But I don't know.

00:04:36.220 There's some good stuff going on in the world.

00:04:37.580 And I'm just curious.

00:04:38.420 I think there's a lot of good stuff going on.

00:04:39.360 There's a lot of good stuff.

00:04:40.120 And I'm curious, kind of open up the conversation.

00:04:43.920 What do you think is good about the world right now?

00:04:46.780 What do I think is good?

00:04:47.720 What do you think is good?

00:04:48.600 I think the best thing about the world right now is that they're sick of the way that it is.

00:04:52.680 I think that's the best thing about the world.

00:04:54.060 Like the tide is turning?

00:04:54.940 Yes.

00:04:55.380 I feel it, dude.

00:04:56.900 You know, for the last eight years, ten years, we've had this culture where if you don't agree

00:05:03.240 with me, fuck you. 1.00

00:05:04.740 You're the fucking devil.

00:05:05.860 You're, you know, because, dude, we introduced this concept of social media at a very tide-turning

00:05:15.120 point in culture, right?

00:05:17.060 So, we have, now we have people with a voice.

00:05:21.040 And we had a new sort of culture in America.

00:05:25.380 And what happened was we have this perfect storm where people don't know how to be responsible

00:05:30.740 with their voice.

00:05:31.440 And then there's all this change.

00:05:32.580 And then we have this crazy shit all over the internet from every motherfucker with 0.98

00:05:36.800 a voice.

00:05:37.280 And let's be real.

00:05:38.180 Not every motherfucker should have a voice.

00:05:40.100 That's the truth.

00:05:41.220 Like, you know, and I think people are just sick.

00:05:44.560 And people are going to say, oh, well, what do you not believe in?

00:05:46.620 No, I believe in rights.

00:05:47.700 But I think you should be of fucking average intelligence to express them.

00:05:51.540 That's what I think.

00:05:52.860 So, I don't think that's, you know.

00:05:55.340 Look, dude.

00:05:57.380 People are ready for a change.

00:05:58.920 Yeah.

00:05:59.180 People are ready for the truth.

00:06:00.480 They've recognized that the strategies over the course of the last 10, 12 years are not

00:06:05.920 working the way that they thought it was going to work.

00:06:08.460 And as hard as it is for people to admit, a lot of people were fucking wrong.

00:06:13.120 And they're starting to say it.

00:06:14.780 You know, we see this with our president.

00:06:17.020 We see people who were calling him every name in the book three years ago.

00:06:21.580 Now they're saying, well, fuck, man.

00:06:24.160 I'm doing much better now.

00:06:25.640 And they're actually making decisions based upon people's actions, not based upon what

00:06:30.640 they're told to think.

00:06:32.060 And I think that's good.

00:06:34.260 I think that's good.

00:06:35.260 You're right.

00:06:35.580 Across the board.

00:06:36.280 It's not just politics.

00:06:37.360 I think people are starting to question and go, okay, have we been sold a bill of goods?

00:06:44.080 Like whether it's been politically correct.

00:06:47.160 Really what's happening, Vaughn, dude, is that we've always been sold a bill of goods.

00:06:51.220 And what's happening is now we have so much information at our disposal that we are actually

00:06:55.500 waking the fuck up.

00:06:57.100 That's what's happening.

00:06:58.340 Oh, and speaking of waking the fuck up, I actually have a guest here with us, too.

00:07:02.240 Oh, yeah?

00:07:02.560 I forgot to bring him in.

00:07:03.380 Handsome guy?

00:07:04.120 He's all right.

00:07:05.220 Real handsome guy.

00:07:06.300 Real handsome.

00:07:07.440 Real handsome.

00:07:08.080 Yeah.

00:07:08.320 But I do think, I mean, the one thing.

00:07:10.360 Did you tie that intentionally into the title of this podcast?

00:07:13.720 Real handsome.

00:07:14.160 You know, what's funny is I did not know the title of the podcast.

00:07:16.960 It was real AF.

00:07:17.800 And in my head, you know, it's like, oh, actually, it's the real Andy Fursella.

00:07:23.320 It's whatever you want.

00:07:24.660 It's whatever you want, man.

00:07:26.180 No, but, you know, like I was sitting there, because I literally have no idea.

00:07:29.380 So I'm a newbie in that sense.

00:07:30.740 But, you know, it's interesting, and I'll start this off with that.

00:07:34.580 By the way, this is my brother, Sal.

00:07:36.620 Oh, yeah, I guess.

00:07:38.000 Sal's all right.

00:07:39.700 Sal's one of those guys that has to get a job from his brother, right?

00:07:42.280 Yeah, Sal's one of them guys that just wants to be his brother,

00:07:46.780 but he's, you know, too ashamed to say so.

00:07:49.440 Who's that, junior?

00:07:51.560 I do drive a minivan.

00:07:53.680 No, that's not a minivan, bro.

00:07:55.520 That's not a minivan.

00:07:56.760 So I want to preface this with I'm neither right nor left.

00:08:00.500 I'm very center, as Andrew said earlier, you know, left from a social standpoint

00:08:06.700 and very right from a fiscal standpoint.

00:08:08.420 But, you know, what you're tired of, and I think, you know,

00:08:10.860 if people would really take the visual message out of it, you know,

00:08:14.220 if you took the ability of Obama to get up in front of people and really speak,

00:08:19.480 because he was one of the best speakers of all time, especially in public.

00:08:22.420 I mean, the guy was invincible, right?

00:08:24.520 Yeah.

00:08:25.300 If he were able to, and you took Trump's, his ability to get in front of people,

00:08:28.480 which is terrible.

00:08:29.480 But if you took what Trump's doing and you put it into Obama

00:08:32.580 and you took all the political side apart, everybody would be fucking happy.

00:08:35.540 You know what I mean?

00:08:36.480 They probably would.

00:08:37.140 Everybody would be fucking ecstatic, you know?

00:08:39.200 Yeah.

00:08:39.580 But they're so, they're so, they're, let's just be honest,

00:08:43.540 they're, for ignorant fucking reasons, they're like, 0.89

00:08:46.160 I'm a Democrat or I'm a fucking Republican.

00:08:48.040 No, dude.

00:08:48.640 They're not able to fucking open their eyeballs.

00:08:50.080 Bro, what it is, is that, is that they,

00:08:53.500 people are too attached to wanting to be right.

00:08:56.280 They want to win for stupid fucking reasons.

00:08:58.120 They don't want to win.

00:08:59.120 Yeah, that's right.

00:08:59.460 They don't want the country to win.

00:09:01.020 Right.

00:09:01.220 They want themselves and their conversation and their beliefs to win

00:09:05.020 because if they don't win,

00:09:06.860 then that means they have to question their own beliefs

00:09:08.720 and actually go out and say, you know what?

00:09:11.540 Maybe I was wrong.

00:09:12.460 Maybe I was.

00:09:13.260 Maybe I was wrong.

00:09:13.860 But you're starting to see some of those people turn that corner.

00:09:16.240 Yeah.

00:09:16.560 Because listen.

00:09:17.360 Let's be fucking clear here.

00:09:19.200 This is not a political show.

00:09:20.560 No.

00:09:20.680 It just happens to be the way we went.

00:09:21.820 Right.

00:09:22.040 But like, I'm not going to not talk about it.

00:09:24.580 It's a hot topic.

00:09:25.080 Like, let's be fucking, let's, let's be fucking real, dude.

00:09:28.800 Okay.

00:09:29.080 We have a fucking president right now that literally half the people

00:09:31.760 in the United States fucking hated.

00:09:34.080 They made shit up about him.

00:09:35.480 That wasn't true.

00:09:36.380 They did everything.

00:09:37.540 They did everything they fucking could to bury him.

00:09:39.680 And he said, fuck you.

00:09:40.480 I don't care.

00:09:41.460 And what'd he do?

00:09:42.420 He's going out and taking action.

00:09:44.460 And now the same people that were actually a lot of the same people

00:09:47.620 that were like, dude, he's this, he's that.

00:09:50.140 They're like, oh, he, he's actually not this.

00:09:52.900 And what's that done?

00:09:54.180 What that has done now is made people to start to wake up

00:09:56.940 because they're like, well, fuck, if I was wrong about that.

00:09:59.260 What about all these other people out here in the media telling me

00:10:01.980 this and this and this and this and this?

00:10:04.060 Holy shit.

00:10:04.740 Maybe they're lying to me.

00:10:06.400 And so we're having a little bit of a, of an awakening happen here.

00:10:09.400 We talked about this, but you know, if you, if you were to watch CNN,

00:10:12.640 same story, you watch Fox news, same story.

00:10:16.560 And you're on either side and you believe that's the fucking truth.

00:10:18.880 You're a moron, right?

00:10:20.500 Dude, you're fucking sheep.

00:10:21.800 Like you belong in a different pasture than this one.

00:10:24.820 But you know, and, and in that sense, I've been guilty of it.

00:10:27.900 You know, like I watch Fox news, I'm like, yeah, you know,

00:10:30.440 and I watch CNN, I'm like, that's, that's bullshit.

00:10:32.380 And then you realize like, well, no, I'm just, wait, I'm part of the sheep.

00:10:35.660 Yeah.

00:10:35.840 But you know, what's great about Trump, dude,

00:10:37.400 is he exposes how sheepish you are because dude, no, on both sides.

00:10:41.260 You know why?

00:10:42.200 Because dude, he says some stupid fucking shit.

00:10:45.160 Boys.

00:10:45.560 He's crazy.

00:10:46.440 That boy crazy.

00:10:47.340 Dude, you cannot agree with some of the shit that he says or how he does it,

00:10:50.720 but what he does in his job produces the result that we want.

00:10:55.440 Right.

00:10:55.900 And that's what people forget.

00:10:58.380 It's not about how much you like someone.

00:11:01.020 There is some shit that Trump says that I'm like, what a fucking dick.

00:11:04.720 And there's some shit that he says.

00:11:06.560 Dude, I'm embarrassed.

00:11:07.620 Yes.

00:11:07.860 But there is some shit also that I'm like, that's fucking hilarious.

00:11:13.160 And then there's some shit that I'm like, that's genius.

00:11:16.200 Okay.

00:11:16.680 And the shit that he says that embarrasses us.

00:11:19.000 Guess what I say?

00:11:19.880 I walk into office and what do I say?

00:11:21.640 I said, do you see that fucking shit Trump took?

00:11:23.120 What the fuck is he doing?

00:11:24.360 Right.

00:11:25.020 And then there's the stuff that is just plain entertaining.

00:11:27.780 Oh.

00:11:28.020 Like, did you guys see the Rocky picture?

00:11:30.820 Oh my gosh, dude.

00:11:32.840 Like, pardon me.

00:11:33.820 I'm sorry.

00:11:34.420 I know people get really offended by this because they're like,

00:11:36.620 Oh, it's beneath the dignity of the president.

00:11:39.320 It's freaking hilarious.

00:11:41.200 Not only that, it's 2019.

00:11:43.980 Like, it's social media land.

00:11:45.240 And don't forget that he did win the election based off social media.

00:11:48.060 His ability to utilize it, right?

00:11:49.760 The strength and the promise of what was at his disposal in front of him.

00:11:53.460 He had one 20th of the budget.

00:11:54.960 He's a smart guy in that sense.

00:11:56.360 Now, is he an asshole?

00:11:57.400 Yeah, he's an asshole.

00:11:58.500 But he's smart.

00:11:59.260 It depends on, no, I don't think he's an asshole.

00:12:01.800 I think he is just committed to his truth.

00:12:04.780 I think he believes in himself.

00:12:07.920 I think he represents what you're supposed to be in America.

00:12:10.980 Not necessarily the product that he is, but you have to respect the fact that the man believes in who the fuck he is.

00:12:19.140 He takes action that backs that shit up.

00:12:22.100 And he's not just full of shit.

00:12:23.780 I respect that.

00:12:24.880 Dude, no matter what the fuck he says or does, I don't see how you couldn't respect the dude.

00:12:29.740 Now, if you're saying, oh, well, he grabbed somebody's pussy 17 years ago. 0.84

00:12:37.440 Well, fuck, motherfucker.

00:12:38.480 What the fuck did you do 17 years ago?

00:12:40.900 Right?

00:12:41.520 Well, he's supposed to be presidential.

00:12:43.500 Well, you're supposed to not do that same shit.

00:12:46.280 You're just not a public figure that's going to get blasted for it.

00:12:48.940 What about Bill Clinton?

00:12:50.480 Yeah, and I think people missed the point.

00:12:51.920 That's okay.

00:12:52.280 The point is, if he did that 17 years ago and today was saying, yeah, you're right, I did it and it was wonderful, it was a good thing.

00:12:58.900 He's not saying that.

00:13:00.180 Right.

00:13:00.740 He's not saying that.

00:13:02.120 Everybody's saying, we did stupid stuff, it's wrong, let's move on.

00:13:05.260 Dude, you saw the fucking Chappelle stand up where he literally stood in front of the fucking crowd and made fun of them.

00:13:13.140 He said, you know why I don't come out and do comedy for you motherfuckers?

00:13:16.860 Because you motherfuckers are the worst motherfuckers that I have to try to entertain. 1.00

00:13:22.680 And what he's telling them is, dude, fuck you.

00:13:26.320 Because, dude, every single thing that you guys do is mob mentality nonsense.

00:13:32.160 Censoring comedians.

00:13:34.940 Censoring comedians.

00:13:36.060 It's not even that, dude.

00:13:37.140 It's a mob mentality control tactic.

00:13:39.580 You don't like what someone says, go get all your fucking friends and throw a goddamn fucking temper tantrum.

00:13:45.340 That's what's going on right now.

00:13:46.680 We have a bunch of people that are grown adults acting like fucking children because they're upset.

00:13:53.980 Okay?

00:13:54.520 100%.

00:13:54.960 I'm sorry.

00:13:56.120 Dave Chappelle's funny as fuck.

00:13:58.600 He's the only motherfucker I know that can make jokes about shit that we would normally be like, holy fuck.

00:14:05.160 And you're laughing your ass off.

00:14:07.080 We need that.

00:14:07.920 I'm sorry.

00:14:08.620 There was a couple things in that stand up, though, that made me cringe.

00:14:11.280 If you can make me cringe, you're dancing on that great line.

00:14:14.440 But honestly, you go way back.

00:14:18.040 I just happened to listen to some of this on YouTube.

00:14:19.700 Richard Pryor.

00:14:20.160 Richard Pryor.

00:14:20.440 He's the best, dude.

00:14:21.060 Come on.

00:14:21.660 Richard Pryor.

00:14:22.440 I still have three of his DVDs.

00:14:24.840 Oh, my God.

00:14:25.300 Dude, Eddie Murphy, Raw, Delirious.

00:14:27.540 Yeah.

00:14:27.920 Right?

00:14:28.340 Yeah, yeah.

00:14:28.660 Like, dude, George Carlin.

00:14:31.460 Like, dude, these guys.

00:14:32.880 It's awesome.

00:14:33.360 Like, you can't even be a fucking comedian anymore because everything's fucking offensive because

00:14:37.780 everybody's got a problem with literally fucking everything. 0.94

00:14:41.680 You know what's sad about that, guys?

00:14:43.480 In all seriousness, you know what's really sad about that?

00:14:46.400 Who are the people that you joke about, joke with the most?

00:14:51.880 Who are the people that you rip on the most? 0.51

00:14:53.600 People you care the most about.

00:14:54.860 Who are the people you care about?

00:14:56.000 The people that are family.

00:14:57.780 And what's kind of sad is that we've gotten to the point where people are so offended

00:15:02.300 by everything, they just can't take a joke, which to me shows that there's a breakdown

00:15:06.660 in the way that Americans see each other.

00:15:08.280 Wait, really?

00:15:08.700 We don't see each other as family.

00:15:09.920 Really?

00:15:10.180 Because I remember busting your balls and you not liking it.

00:15:14.620 Right.

00:15:15.260 Guess what happened three months later?

00:15:16.600 Yeah.

00:15:17.120 Yeah.

00:15:17.920 What happened?

00:15:18.800 Were you sensitive, Susie?

00:15:19.940 Did I break it?

00:15:20.200 I was sensitive, Susie.

00:15:21.040 Did I break it of you?

00:15:21.980 But you know why, Sal?

00:15:23.660 Because I realized that there was some truth to it.

00:15:26.520 Sal busted my butt for, basically I committed to, I committed to, I forget what it was,

00:15:30.740 like running a half gay or half marathon.

00:15:32.240 Girl, you fucking told me you were going to beat him up. 1.00

00:15:35.060 No, that's a separate thing.

00:15:36.320 No.

00:15:36.740 No, that's a separate thing.

00:15:37.920 Yeah, it is a separate thing.

00:15:38.560 That's a separate thing.

00:15:39.380 You're getting that confused.

00:15:39.500 You told me that you were going to get a trainer and you were going to kick his ass. 1.00

00:15:41.460 No, no, no, no, no.

00:15:42.100 Let me set the record straight.

00:15:43.980 This man is 240 fucking pounds.

00:15:46.960 Dude.

00:15:47.460 And he was a professional athlete.

00:15:49.860 All right.

00:15:50.100 Like, you could go train for the rest of your fucking life and he is still going to hurt you.

00:15:54.740 All right.

00:15:55.000 Two things.

00:15:56.820 Two separate issues.

00:15:58.180 Psychedelics.

00:15:59.000 One, Sal asked me to commit to a half marathon.

00:16:03.580 I pulled out of it.

00:16:06.980 I'm Catholic, so I can't do that.

00:16:07.980 That's good policy.

00:16:09.300 I wouldn't know it.

00:16:12.960 There were at least four times I didn't do that.

00:16:16.800 But no, but I basically got cold feet.

00:16:20.740 I was, all kidding aside, I was worried that I was going to die.

00:16:25.360 I literally thought I was going to die if I did that, which I know is completely irrational.

00:16:29.220 But the point is, I pulled out of it and Sal gave me a hard time about it and I did not

00:16:35.200 handle it well.

00:16:36.200 And then I rubbed his face in it.

00:16:37.300 And he rubbed my face in it.

00:16:38.240 And he didn't like that either.

00:16:38.840 Three months later, I did come in and I said, I apologize.

00:16:43.080 And since then, I'd say, we have a great relationship.

00:16:46.220 He must have really made you mad because usually you were pissed.

00:16:48.740 Yeah, usually it takes way less time for you to come around.

00:16:52.560 Usually it might be a day or an afternoon or the next day because I've pissed you off a

00:16:56.420 number of times.

00:16:57.060 No, I was pissed.

00:16:58.660 Yeah, you must have been really mad.

00:17:00.460 Yeah, but what was fun, actually what was the most fun was us yelling at each other in

00:17:05.520 the conference room and looking at people going, what the heck?

00:17:08.820 What is going on?

00:17:09.440 Oh, this happened here?

00:17:10.260 Yeah, the door was open.

00:17:11.480 Like we were yelling at each other and people were looking at me like, what is going on?

00:17:15.780 I literally walked out there and was like, is that for real?

00:17:17.080 It's used to you yelling at me and me just like, oh, yeah, okay.

00:17:21.320 Well, and I don't yell like, you know, the guys around the office, they know like, if

00:17:24.280 I get mad, like I'm mad.

00:17:25.800 Right, right, right.

00:17:26.200 It takes a minute for me to get to that point.

00:17:27.920 But the second thing these guys are making fun of me is that I decided, you know, you

00:17:32.320 guys got to understand, if you've been listening to Andy for any length of time, you've been

00:17:35.540 around Sal and Andy on social media, they're always saying, set huge, unattainable goals,

00:17:41.340 right guys?

00:17:41.980 So what do I do?

00:17:43.740 I took your advice.

00:17:44.780 I set one.

00:17:45.280 And I was like, Sal, you, me, we're going to, we're going to wrestle.

00:17:47.820 We're going to wrestle in front of everybody.

00:17:49.560 Bro, there's a, there's a, there's huge goals.

00:17:51.520 No, dude.

00:17:52.120 I'm telling you, five minutes, he would not, he would not, I can't beat Sal.

00:17:56.140 You're going to do it today?

00:17:56.560 He would not, no, I got to trade.

00:17:59.640 He would not pin me in five minutes.

00:18:02.420 Five minutes?

00:18:03.280 You're going to do it today?

00:18:03.740 Bro, it would last five seconds.

00:18:04.920 Wait, wait, wait, wait, three minutes.

00:18:05.420 What, how did it happen?

00:18:06.140 Two minutes.

00:18:06.780 Two minutes.

00:18:07.340 For three, two minute rounds.

00:18:08.800 Anyway.

00:18:08.980 I promise you.

00:18:09.660 He might break, he might break my spinal cord in half, but he's not going to pin me.

00:18:13.360 Well, whatever.

00:18:13.840 So, but, but, so what were we talking about?

00:18:15.800 No, so going back to just the whole issue of, um, no, man, it's.

00:18:19.440 Busting balls.

00:18:20.100 That's where you turned the corner.

00:18:20.920 Yeah.

00:18:21.000 Yeah.

00:18:21.220 No, we did.

00:18:22.020 You ever play that game, Mortal Kombat?

00:18:24.620 You know that game?

00:18:25.180 Uh, they probably can't do that anymore.

00:18:26.880 Wait, wait, wait.

00:18:27.100 No.

00:18:27.560 You know that game?

00:18:27.960 Is that where the.

00:18:28.860 The guy goes finish him and then he like rips his fucking spine out and shit and there's 0.94

00:18:32.060 blood everywhere.

00:18:32.660 That'd be you.

00:18:33.360 Yeah, probably would be.

00:18:34.380 No, I'm from, I'm from the Karate Kid generation, so I'd crane kick.

00:18:38.460 You'd crane kick him right in the fucking teeth.

00:18:39.760 I'd crane kick him right in his head right off the top of it.

00:18:41.180 But, but no, but, um, no, dude, I mean, it just comes back to, uh, dude, we just, our

00:18:48.800 country, everybody is so sensitive.

00:18:50.740 Everybody is so offended.

00:18:51.960 They're so worried that somebody is going to say something that's going to challenge their

00:18:55.780 beliefs.

00:18:56.480 Is it everybody though?

00:18:57.560 Or is it, is it a few people?

00:19:00.180 Here's what I think.

00:19:00.960 I think it's, uh, unfortunately, I don't know.

00:19:03.720 That's a, that's a tough question.

00:19:05.100 I mean, I'd be curious what everybody else thinks.

00:19:07.040 If it was everybody, how the fuck would the motherfucker have won the election that won

00:19:11.240 it?

00:19:11.640 I don't think it's everybody.

00:19:13.040 I think what it is, is that we have a small minority of people who have a belief about

00:19:19.460 the world.

00:19:20.500 Those people have had zero fucking struggle in their life.

00:19:23.960 Yeah.

00:19:24.240 Zero.

00:19:24.940 They are rich, far left, crazy motherfuckers that live in huge fucking mansions and make 1.00

00:19:31.100 a lot of fucking money and they realized, well, we could fucking tell the poor people 0.62

00:19:37.040 and the, the minority people and the people who are struggling in this country, we could

00:19:41.420 tell them shit. 0.58

00:19:42.520 And when we tell them shit, because we're this way, they'll believe it.

00:19:46.640 They'll believe that.

00:19:47.860 And so dude, that's how we'll stay in office.

00:19:50.040 Well, dude, I mean, so that's what we have going on.

00:19:52.460 So now we have a situation where you have a group of very wealthy people manipulating

00:19:57.800 a group of very fucking poor people and uneducated people and underprivileged people that deserve 1.00

00:20:03.040 a fucking chance.

00:20:04.140 And then you have these other motherfuckers, you know, on the other side who come from 1.00

00:20:09.680 East butt fuck, who knows where with no teeth, with pitchforks and fucking shotguns and shit 1.00

00:20:16.200 and overalls and no shirts saying, oh, we're going to take this country back, son.

00:20:21.520 We're going to fucking bring this back to the fucking way it used to be.

00:20:25.300 Right.

00:20:25.440 We're going to go back and we're going to pitchfork these sons of bitches. 1.00

00:20:28.880 Like that's what we have.

00:20:30.720 So how about we fucking meet in the middle and recognize, oh, hey, we all got to live here.

00:20:35.680 We might as well laugh about the shit.

00:20:37.680 You know what?

00:20:38.760 You motherfuckers, you're funny.

00:20:41.160 You white people, you're funny, dude. 0.89

00:20:42.860 You're black people, you're fucking funny too.

00:20:44.860 And you know what?

00:20:45.440 You Chinese motherfuckers, you're funny too. 1.00

00:20:48.140 You American Indians, you do some funny shit. 1.00

00:20:50.800 Like, dude, how much more fun would it be just to acknowledge the differences and have

00:20:55.100 a fucking laugh?

00:20:56.300 I agree, man.

00:20:56.800 You know, instead of everybody fighting, well, you don't understand because you're white 1.00

00:21:00.860 because you have all the fucking privilege. 0.76

00:21:02.620 Motherfucker, I had no fucking privilege.

00:21:05.240 You know what I'm saying?

00:21:06.000 I had real hardship, dude.

00:21:07.320 Not fucking fake hardship.

00:21:08.520 Real hardship.

00:21:09.620 Okay?

00:21:10.060 These people don't comprehend what the reality is because no one's in the real world.

00:21:18.380 They're on their fucking phones.

00:21:19.720 They're on Facebook.

00:21:21.360 They're on social.

00:21:22.320 We're judging a world based upon a fucking app on our fucking phone.

00:21:26.840 Because I can tell you this.

00:21:27.940 When I go out and meet people in real life, they're cool as shit.

00:21:31.420 Yeah.

00:21:32.220 You know, and everybody's saying the same thing.

00:21:34.220 And it doesn't matter if they're black and white or fucking Chinese or Mexican or fucking. 0.97

00:21:38.300 They're all saying the same shit.

00:21:39.880 You know what they're saying?

00:21:40.880 They're saying, Andy, this shit is fucked up.

00:21:43.480 And I'm like, bro.

00:21:45.240 Yeah.

00:21:45.520 Me too.

00:21:45.880 You know?

00:21:47.700 Dude.

00:21:48.020 Like, that's what I'm hearing.

00:21:48.840 That's what I'm hearing in the real world.

00:21:50.800 So, I would challenge that and say, you know, I don't think it is the real world.

00:21:55.220 I think it's a fucking manipulative fucking little piece of pie that we look at as everybody.

00:22:01.640 And we have to be careful because that's what makes people crazy.

00:22:04.920 Yeah.

00:22:05.260 Right?

00:22:05.700 No, I agree.

00:22:06.340 Dude, I got to tell you.

00:22:07.060 This is a great story.

00:22:08.220 At least I think it is.

00:22:09.660 So, in 2000, I was part of a group.

00:22:12.360 It was like 50 people that were selected.

00:22:14.520 Dude, you had to be really super incredibly smart to be part of this group.

00:22:17.480 So, that's why they chose me.

00:22:18.820 But anyway, yeah.

00:22:20.200 To clean the bathroom?

00:22:21.020 Yeah, exactly.

00:22:22.100 No, yeah.

00:22:22.500 It was a group that was going over to the Middle East.

00:22:24.340 So, it was going to all these different countries.

00:22:25.840 And it was going to like Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt.

00:22:28.660 And then you finished up in Israel.

00:22:30.540 And then you spent a little bit of time in Greece.

00:22:32.220 And the whole point of the thing was it was supposed to give us like this whirlwind one month crash course

00:22:38.520 on like the socio-political religious history of the Middle East.

00:22:42.220 Obviously, a super volatile place.

00:22:44.300 And it was the first time a lot of us had been exposed to like Islamic, Muslim culture, and Arab, you know, that kind of thing.

00:22:50.380 And so, it was kind of freaky.

00:22:52.000 You know, we're thinking, oh, man.

00:22:53.360 You know, you think it's almost like Star Trek.

00:22:55.960 Like, oh, we're the Federation and they're the Klingons. 1.00

00:22:59.660 And they're so totally different.

00:23:00.660 Man, nobody knows those Star Trek shit.

00:23:02.180 Ah, they do.

00:23:03.120 Sorry, I just dated myself and kind of established myself as the geek on the show.

00:23:06.800 But listen, just really, really different, right?

00:23:09.520 So like thinking, oh, man, how are we going to really identify with these peoples?

00:23:14.020 Well, we were in Lebanon and we had heard all these lectures.

00:23:17.760 And a lot of them were good.

00:23:18.680 But some of them were from like more leftist kind of people talking about like how all cultures can get along.

00:23:26.760 And they had these really super highbrow intellectual answers for this.

00:23:30.440 Well, we were in Lebanon.

00:23:31.140 We were at this restaurant and they had this belly dancing girl came out. 0.98

00:23:35.200 And she started doing the belly dancing.

00:23:36.240 Did you write her book?

00:23:37.280 No.

00:23:38.200 That's an inside joke we're all going to talk about much later.

00:23:41.100 But she started doing this belly dancing. 1.00

00:23:42.920 And like she was insanely good looking and insanely good at what she was doing.

00:23:47.480 And I'm sitting here and there's all these other like Islamic students.

00:23:51.040 And this guy who was sitting next to me or standing next to me.

00:23:55.220 And we're all like all the men in the room of all the different nationalities and religions are just gawking.

00:24:01.140 At this girl.

00:24:01.840 Right?

00:24:02.620 So this guy looks over to me and he says something.

00:24:04.940 Wait, wait, wait.

00:24:05.840 You mean that all of these dudes, no matter where they come from, they're still looking at the hot chick?

00:24:12.100 Right.

00:24:12.820 That's what you learned on this 30 days.

00:24:14.860 No, no, no.

00:24:15.560 Kumbaya trip, bro.

00:24:16.680 That's really funny, though.

00:24:17.360 I could have told you that and saved you $30.

00:24:19.080 30 days.

00:24:19.800 Right.

00:24:20.320 So I'm watching.

00:24:21.200 And this guy looks over to me and he says something in Arabic.

00:24:23.880 And he's got this really deep voice.

00:24:25.380 And he goes, whatever, Arabic.

00:24:28.240 And I'm like.

00:24:28.780 Find that offensive that you're mocking this language.

00:24:30.360 Sorry, sorry.

00:24:30.600 So I said, I'm sorry, I don't speak Arabic.

00:24:34.360 What did you just say?

00:24:35.900 He looks at me and goes, I said, we are not really that different after all.

00:24:43.540 Dude, that's so fucking true.

00:24:45.840 It's true, dude.

00:24:46.840 I got a buddy I talk to literally all the time from Kuwait.

00:24:50.180 He's like if you.

00:24:51.660 He calls me his American twin.

00:24:53.280 OK, we do.

00:24:54.920 You could not be more fucking on opposite sides of the earth.

00:24:57.660 We're the same dude.

00:24:58.780 Yeah.

00:24:59.000 We're the same fucking dude.

00:25:00.940 I was just going to say, I mean, I've been in a million bars in the middle, middle, little

00:25:04.960 small towns, you know, big city, New York, everywhere in between.

00:25:07.780 And I love people.

00:25:09.700 Yeah.

00:25:10.100 And what I realized about, you know, dude, this is what I hate about media.

00:25:13.940 And this is specifically what I hate about social media in the sense is you're on big

00:25:17.860 box media.

00:25:18.420 You're only getting shown what they choose to show you.

00:25:20.460 Like, that's it.

00:25:21.280 But when you really get out into the woods, whether you're literally in the woods or you're

00:25:24.780 in a big city, like do we all have the same struggles?

00:25:27.580 You know, like do we all struggle with money in some way, shape or form?

00:25:29.880 You struggle with relationships in some way, shape or form.

00:25:31.940 Right.

00:25:32.620 And, you know, when you start bonding and coming together, like we are really all the

00:25:36.420 same.

00:25:36.940 You know what I mean?

00:25:37.480 You get fed a bunch of bullshit and how you filter bullshit and what separates you.

00:25:40.880 Nobody knows what the fuck they're doing.

00:25:43.180 No, there's, there's, there's truth about that.

00:25:45.160 Hold on.

00:25:45.540 Let's say that again.

00:25:46.260 You can end the whole goddamn thing.

00:25:47.820 Hey, that's the whole fucking show.

00:25:49.580 Episode one to episode one fucking thousand. 0.95

00:25:53.380 Nobody knows.

00:25:54.580 But, you know, but what you realize is that like, dude, when you, and this is the thing

00:25:57.740 is like when you surround yourself with good people, you have good, healthy

00:25:59.660 conversations, you start progressing yourself forward.

00:26:01.700 Right.

00:26:01.980 But culturally, we're all the same from the standpoint of like, we all struggle.

00:26:07.780 We all have the same fucking struggles for the most part.

00:26:10.060 And there's some outside struggles that different people deal with.

00:26:12.360 But at the end of the day, man, people are good.

00:26:15.260 They're not bad.

00:26:16.620 Fucking the media wants to show you all the bad.

00:26:18.620 And then in our head, you sell some fucking ad space.

00:26:20.980 That's it.

00:26:21.540 And so they constantly pump you with fucking the negative, the negative, the

00:26:24.580 negative, the negative.

00:26:25.220 Well, you know, and you think about the old school media, you know, and the one thing

00:26:29.140 I don't know that it's much different or maybe I'm getting much older and have a

00:26:33.580 different, broader view, but they used to highlight a lot of the positives, you

00:26:37.360 know, the good things are going on.

00:26:38.480 Now it's if the transition has been, let's focus on all the negatives and it

00:26:42.460 creates this negative.

00:26:43.200 What gets more likes?

00:26:44.700 What gets more fucking likes on the internet?

00:26:46.620 A story about someone whining about how fucking hard they had it or a story about 0.77

00:26:51.480 what good someone did.

00:26:52.700 I'm going to tell you right now, the fucking story where you talk about, oh, dude, my

00:26:57.300 fucking childhood was so bad.

00:26:59.560 Dude, we've become a fucking society that competes about who had it harder.

00:27:03.240 It doesn't matter.

00:27:04.320 Hard is hard.

00:27:05.560 It is not something that we compete about.

00:27:08.260 What's a level 10 hard for you.

00:27:10.220 It's still a level 10 hard for me and it's completely different things.

00:27:13.400 But we've created this, this, uh, this situation now where it's like, oh, dude, I

00:27:18.520 had, listen, I had it much harder than you, brother.

00:27:21.860 Let me tell you how, how hard did you have it?

00:27:23.920 You tell me and then I'll top it.

00:27:25.260 Right.

00:27:25.660 We're a bunch of Tommy Topper motherfuckers, man.

00:27:29.100 Right.

00:27:29.380 But it's, there's a, there's a critical difference too, is that I think there are

00:27:32.240 people in the world who share their stories of adversity, but they don't share

00:27:35.720 them for sympathy.

00:27:37.520 They share them to empower people.

00:27:39.060 And I think historically, I mean, it's not the, it's not the first time in American

00:27:43.220 history where people have shared their, their adversity and told, told people

00:27:46.440 about how hard their life is.

00:27:47.560 That shit needs to be shared.

00:27:48.060 Yes.

00:27:48.640 But this is probably the first time in American history.

00:27:50.240 But it's not your fucking identity.

00:27:51.520 And this is probably the first time in American history that people have shared

00:27:54.720 it for the purpose of getting sympathy.

00:27:56.960 Well.

00:27:57.220 Not for the purpose of motivating others.

00:27:58.960 It goes back to the squeaky wheel gets the oil, right?

00:28:01.280 I mean.

00:28:01.620 Right.

00:28:01.900 And whenever we, you empower everybody that has a voice on social media, they

00:28:05.640 realize that the squeakier they get, the more oil they receive.

00:28:08.700 Right.

00:28:08.780 So the louder they are.

00:28:09.900 Look, dude, we can fix a lot of shit.

00:28:11.280 Let me tell you how.

00:28:11.840 You got to pass a test to have a social media account.

00:28:14.580 You got to be basic.

00:28:15.500 You got to have basic intelligence.

00:28:16.980 Like, okay, you pass a little test.

00:28:18.700 There's your fucking Instagram.

00:28:21.280 Then they couldn't run, run ads and sell you things.

00:28:24.080 Yeah.

00:28:24.460 Dude, look, dude.

00:28:25.100 And then we do, then we do, uh, on holidays, social media is closed.

00:28:30.380 Right.

00:28:30.820 Like from, from the day before Thanksgiving till fucking Sunday, we, you know, you 0.90

00:28:35.840 close it down, uh, for Christmas and Christmas Eve, you close it.

00:28:39.420 Dude, the world would be a better place.

00:28:41.080 It would be interesting if the internet had business hours.

00:28:42.940 Dude, it would be awesome.

00:28:44.100 It would be awesome because it would, it would create a balance between the tech and the human

00:28:50.840 element that we all crave, but can't get anymore.

00:28:53.780 Right.

00:28:54.260 You know?

00:28:54.660 Right.

00:28:55.360 No, dude, I get it.

00:28:56.500 I mean, one of the biggest conflicts and frustrations in my own life, and I know you get this far more

00:29:01.880 than I do, is that on some level, all of us in this room have to have a social media account.

00:29:06.960 We do.

00:29:07.940 We have to have one in order to run our business, in order to, to, to engage with the people

00:29:12.100 that are sort of stakeholders and how we earn a living.

00:29:14.340 Let me be real.

00:29:15.040 But how could you have to do anything?

00:29:16.560 Well, I know that, but part of me wants to walk away from it, but I'm like, I'm not

00:29:22.420 sure how I could function in a, in a business sense if I walked away completely from social

00:29:27.040 media.

00:29:27.300 I don't know.

00:29:27.520 I mean, I, I, so I would argue that Seth Godin does it Seth, not only Seth Godin's

00:29:31.300 a smart, Seth Godin got to the point that he could do it and he's a whole lot smarter

00:29:35.000 than I am.

00:29:35.640 Seth Godin is the smartest business guru or whatever the fuck you want to call it on the

00:29:40.960 earth.

00:29:41.540 Yeah.

00:29:41.840 97.

00:29:42.380 I would say him and Elon Musk.

00:29:45.400 You know what I'm saying?

00:29:46.240 Yeah, no, I get it.

00:29:46.840 By the way, did you see that fucking awesome PR movie that he just pulled?

00:29:49.900 All you motherfuckers out there, why? 0.99

00:29:51.220 Oh my God, the fucking window of the Tesla truck broke.

00:29:54.720 Yeah.

00:29:55.000 On purpose, dumbass.

00:29:56.200 So you talk about it.

00:29:57.500 Oh my God, the Tesla truck is so ugly.

00:30:00.520 Yeah.

00:30:00.980 On purpose, dumbass.

00:30:02.680 So you would fucking talk.

00:30:03.820 Oh my God, I could buy a Tesla for a hundred dollar deposit.

00:30:07.460 Yeah.

00:30:07.740 Dumbass.

00:30:08.340 So they can make $20 million today on you.

00:30:11.120 Right.

00:30:11.640 Like dude.

00:30:12.780 And, and, and what people don't realize is that that truck, that, that truck was for

00:30:17.220 the loyal Tesla people who were going to buy it.

00:30:18.940 The people who are never going to buy that, that all that thing was staged was to create

00:30:22.620 conflict between the people who were going to defend Tesla and become more

00:30:26.020 committed to the brand.

00:30:27.020 Bro, it was a cultural PR genius.

00:30:30.340 It was genius.

00:30:31.200 Fucking move.

00:30:32.120 Yeah.

00:30:32.840 It was genius.

00:30:33.220 That guy is on a different level of genius.

00:30:36.120 Yeah.

00:30:36.360 Period.

00:30:37.000 No, I agree.

00:30:37.900 And so is Seth Godin.

00:30:39.040 I agree.

00:30:39.940 But, but going back to what we were saying, so we were talking about, I don't know, man.

00:30:45.040 I, I.

00:30:45.740 What were we talking about?

00:30:46.180 Well, we, we, we got talking about just, you know, what's, what's good about the world.

00:30:49.460 Do you know what?

00:30:49.900 You said that the tide is turning.

00:30:50.980 I'll fucking say something.

00:30:52.020 Yeah.

00:30:52.500 I don't think people are even actually offended by the shit they say they are.

00:30:56.320 I think most of the time they're, they say they're offended.

00:30:59.160 They're saying they're offended because it's what they're supposed to say.

00:31:02.100 Right.

00:31:02.440 Because there are people who are in positions of influence with platforms that have convinced

00:31:06.020 that have told them that they should be offended by this.

00:31:08.840 Now, listen, no matter how much we protest on this, people are going to say, oh, you guys,

00:31:13.220 you're, you're just a bunch of Trump loving Republican conservatives.

00:31:15.820 Absolutely not.

00:31:16.620 But, but let me, let me.

00:31:17.460 I think Trump is literally half, half dumbass.

00:31:20.640 I think he's fucking, I think the other half of him is fucking genius.

00:31:23.720 That boy crazy.

00:31:24.860 Dude, that's what I think.

00:31:26.340 He is.

00:31:26.860 I think he's half dumbass, half fucking super genius.

00:31:29.280 Yeah, yeah.

00:31:30.360 But, and dude, by the way, I do like him and I ain't ashamed to fucking say that.

00:31:34.940 You know why I like him?

00:31:36.020 Because the man is who the fuck he is.

00:31:38.860 And no matter what somebody does to try to fuck with him, he fucking stands strong.

00:31:44.340 And dude, I don't care who you are on the face of the earth.

00:31:47.000 You may not agree with his policy.

00:31:48.800 You may not agree with his, his banter and the way that might be your style.

00:31:53.960 You don't have to agree with everybody's style, but you should respect people.

00:31:58.040 At least in my opinion, that are who the fuck they say they are.

00:32:02.380 And they live that through their actions.

00:32:04.000 And from what I can tell, that man does that.

00:32:06.960 I agree.

00:32:08.040 This is what I tell people all the time.

00:32:10.320 Anybody who thinks that Trump is some sort of, there are ways obviously that he's different.

00:32:15.680 By the way, dude, I liked Obama.

00:32:17.780 I fucking liked Obama.

00:32:19.360 I liked him.

00:32:20.840 I did not agree with anything that he fucking did in office.

00:32:24.020 I liked him.

00:32:25.280 I thought he was cool.

00:32:26.460 I'd fucking loved to smoke a fucking joint with President Obama.

00:32:30.160 That's the truth.

00:32:31.300 Okay.

00:32:32.100 But I didn't like his policy.

00:32:36.360 So we have this situation now where we got to like everybody to say they're doing a good job?

00:32:40.620 No, that's, exactly.

00:32:41.960 Like, we don't evaluate policy decisions.

00:32:44.240 We evaluate whether we like the person.

00:32:46.340 You know what?

00:32:46.900 I like people that do a good job, though.

00:32:48.920 Yeah.

00:32:49.300 Like, if you do a good job, I sort of like you more.

00:32:51.160 Or if you have a little personality, I mean, this is what I just think.

00:32:54.400 I think the criticisms that are often lobbed toward the direction of Mr. Trump are people who just are completely ignorant of American history.

00:33:02.460 Because if you look back at it, I was reading this to a buddy of mine the other day.

00:33:06.140 I was reading about a particular president.

00:33:07.800 This is what they said about the president.

00:33:08.920 They said that his White House was run by cronies.

00:33:11.760 His language was filthy and utterly beneath the dignity of the White House.

00:33:16.200 He bullied people, and he misused platforms for his own personal gain.

00:33:22.720 Oh, is that Trump?

00:33:23.840 No.

00:33:24.400 Those are all things that were said about Harry S. Truman, who the Democrats consider one of their lions.

00:33:31.080 And so it's like, Trump is not the first president in history who's been a little foul-mouthed.

00:33:36.060 No, he's just the first one since we've had new technology to speak out against it.

00:33:39.860 Right.

00:33:40.240 And speaking of new technology.

00:33:40.840 That was to my point earlier.

00:33:41.940 Exactly.

00:33:42.300 And the people who are all over him for using Twitter, I don't know if anybody has any idea.

00:33:49.080 The very first president ever to use what's called fireside chats, he would hop on the radio and go very regularly to talk to the American people.

00:33:57.540 This president was accused of, you're spending all your time on the media when you should be governing.

00:34:02.600 That was FDR, one of the greatest presidents in most people, most historians' estimation.

00:34:07.820 Dude, he's just playing the game.

00:34:08.980 Every president that has used the modern media well has ended up doing good things.

00:34:15.260 Yeah, but see, it shows you too, though, you don't have to have the general media anymore love you to fucking do shit in this world.

00:34:23.100 No, that is true.

00:34:23.980 You don't have to do that.

00:34:24.760 That is true.

00:34:25.160 Whatever you think of.

00:34:26.220 Dude, that's why the media is so pissed off about him.

00:34:28.480 Because they haven't been able to fucking bury him.

00:34:30.920 And they're like, fuck, dude.

00:34:32.120 Oh, and I can't control him.

00:34:32.580 Those motherfuckers are- 1.00

00:34:33.360 I can't wrangle him.

00:34:33.700 You know what they're doing?

00:34:34.600 They're calling each other and they're saying, fuck, this motherfucker is-

00:34:37.900 He's good.

00:34:38.120 No, no, no.

00:34:38.800 That's not what they're saying.

00:34:40.100 They're saying, not only are they saying he's good, they're saying, fuck, we're kind of fucked, dude.

00:34:45.780 Now people see that our shit doesn't really matter that much.

00:34:49.580 You know what I'm saying?

00:34:50.340 That's scary, dude.

00:34:51.320 I will have to say, the other thing about Mr. Trump that is very different from Mr. Bush, Mr. Reagan, the other Bush,

00:34:57.500 is that Trump is probably the first Republican president to say, listen, the reality is that the liberals and the Democrats, they're never going to love me.

00:35:05.300 So I'm not even going to-

00:35:06.540 Dude, Trump doesn't even like the fucking far right dudes.

00:35:08.900 Right.

00:35:09.140 But what my point is, is Trump basically says, this is war.

00:35:13.080 This is war.

00:35:13.800 It is.

00:35:13.940 I mean, a lot of the other earlier Republicans wanted to play nice with the Democrats and it never got them anywhere.

00:35:21.200 It really didn't.

00:35:21.960 Listen, you cannot negotiate with people who all they, they are unwilling to look at the facts.

00:35:29.600 Like, I think it's fucking embarrassing, personally, that we have a whole, and this goes for both parties.

00:35:37.740 And then I want to move on to something else because I'm fucking tired of talking about this.

00:35:41.320 But I think it's embarrassing as a country that we have literally all these elected officials up there in fucking Washington

00:35:51.140 who literally act like fucking children. 0.80

00:35:56.380 Like, have you ever watched one of these motherfucking inquisitions that they do on fucking C-SPAN?

00:36:02.060 Are you serious?

00:36:03.640 Like, are you-

00:36:04.420 Excuse me, Mr. Thomas.

00:36:06.480 Where were you on the evening of December 27th at 7 p.m.?

00:36:11.140 Because my documentation says that you tweeted, big booty hoes. 1.00

00:36:16.380 Do you really believe in that tweet?

00:36:18.740 You know what I'm saying?

00:36:19.520 Like, get the fuck out of here, man.

00:36:21.880 Like, maybe he was fucked up and he saw a fucking movie and he reminded him of a song. 0.92

00:36:26.360 He says, big booty hoes, I'm with it. 1.00

00:36:28.620 Like, dude.

00:36:29.440 No, the sad reality to that is he was probably at a strip club with some lobbyists who just put a million bucks in his pocket

00:36:34.820 and he made a fucking accidental mistake because he had too many beers and he wrote a stupid-ass tweet. 0.90

00:36:38.500 And he's out fucking lawmaking for our country.

00:36:42.760 For his own personal well-being.

00:36:44.400 But that's what I'm saying.

00:36:45.000 Hey, man, if I give you a million dollars, you can get this grease through for me?

00:36:47.760 That's what I'm saying, bro.

00:36:49.100 It's people-

00:36:49.880 But people are not-

00:36:51.820 I truly believe this.

00:36:53.260 I truly, truly believe this.

00:36:55.900 People are not as offended as they pretend to be.

00:36:58.200 No, I think you're right.

00:36:59.340 I think it's what they think they're supposed to be.

00:37:01.320 They're conditioned.

00:37:01.840 They're tying their identity to something that they want to be

00:37:05.240 and then they're pretending to be that in front of other people

00:37:08.380 for other people's agreement or disagreement, right?

00:37:12.140 That's their worth.

00:37:13.680 And I think a good thermometer for that is to go watch the David Chappelle show

00:37:16.560 and see how offended you are.

00:37:18.720 I wasn't offended at all.

00:37:19.960 Me neither.

00:37:20.640 Yeah.

00:37:21.460 Maybe I don't have a heartbeat.

00:37:22.740 The best joke he told in the whole fucking thing

00:37:25.800 was the one he told about the trans guy sitting in the front row.

00:37:29.500 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:37:30.340 Did you pick on that?

00:37:31.380 Oh, of course.

00:37:32.260 Like in the behind the scenes at the end?

00:37:33.740 Yes.

00:37:33.980 Yeah, dude, he goes, dude, I was scared to tell these trans jokes 1.00

00:37:40.580 because this woman who was a man who was trans was sitting in my front row 0.85

00:37:46.760 and she was just laughing and laughing and laughing

00:37:49.580 and I felt bad because I was about to tell these trans jokes 1.00

00:37:52.740 and I knew they were coming.

00:37:54.960 And I decided, well, should I say it in front of him

00:37:58.160 or should I not say it in front of him?

00:37:59.460 And he said, well, I decided that if I can't say it in front of him,

00:38:03.280 should I even be saying it at all?

00:38:04.740 So I did it.

00:38:05.660 So he went in and he told the joke and he said,

00:38:07.960 and this trans woman was just laughing and laughing 1.00

00:38:12.100 and I couldn't understand why she was the hardest one laughing.

00:38:14.980 And then he goes, and then it dawned on me,

00:38:17.600 she used to be a man. 1.00

00:38:21.380 Dude.

00:38:22.240 You know what I'm saying?

00:38:23.020 Like, dude, like the shit is so offensive, quote unquote,

00:38:26.560 but it's not really offensive.

00:38:27.600 It's a fucking joke.

00:38:28.620 I would say you're in a good place in life

00:38:30.340 when you can be the butt of the jokes and you can laugh.

00:38:32.880 Dude, I agree.

00:38:33.860 Make fun of me, dude.

00:38:35.120 Everybody makes fun of me.

00:38:36.360 Dude.

00:38:37.500 You know what I'm saying?

00:38:38.460 Like, dude, fuck it.

00:38:39.260 I know what I am.

00:38:40.040 I know I'm a fucking goofball.

00:38:41.800 Like, fuck, I don't care.

00:38:43.520 No, dude, I love this and I love telling this story.

00:38:46.180 I had a really good friend in seminary.

00:38:48.120 His name was John Hyde.

00:38:49.080 And he was, as he was growing up,

00:38:51.840 he was an excellent athlete.

00:38:54.060 Like, he was going to play Division I.

00:38:55.660 He was recruited heavily by Kentucky.

00:38:57.100 And he had this terrible accident.

00:38:59.120 This guy, a drunk driver, hit him.

00:39:02.540 He's basically, I don't know what the technical term is for it,

00:39:05.260 but like a quadriplegic or whatever,

00:39:07.000 but he doesn't have really any ability to move.

00:39:09.520 And he's got the little electronic,

00:39:12.260 electronic, yeah, the wheelchair.

00:39:14.400 And he can talk, but he's like,

00:39:16.100 it's very hard for him to enunciate.

00:39:17.960 One time he was called because he's a real inspiring guy.

00:39:22.140 And, you know, if something like this happens to you,

00:39:24.740 dude, I mean, you know, Andy, getting stabbed.

00:39:26.800 But if something really physically traumatic happens to you,

00:39:29.940 you could just roll up in a ball.

00:39:31.420 You could just be mad at the world.

00:39:32.440 Is that what you did that time you got arrested?

00:39:33.880 Yeah, exactly.

00:39:34.340 Just roll up in a ball to avoid the trauma?

00:39:36.140 We'll talk about that later.

00:39:37.420 But you could just be mad at the world.

00:39:40.360 And somebody asked John Hyde one time,

00:39:43.540 he said, John, what would you tell,

00:39:46.480 after your whole ordeal,

00:39:48.080 what would you tell everybody?

00:39:49.000 What's the message of your life?

00:39:50.880 And John goes, drive safely.

00:39:54.700 And here's the thing, like, we all bursted into laughter,

00:39:57.140 but the ability to laugh at your situation

00:40:01.000 when you have been reduced to a quadriplegic

00:40:03.920 and can barely talk,

00:40:05.200 when you could have played ball,

00:40:06.780 maybe even gone to the NBA,

00:40:08.320 and to laugh at that, the strength of character.

00:40:10.760 And I think that's the problem, guys,

00:40:12.220 is I think people are so offended.

00:40:14.500 No, they've lost the ability to laugh at themselves.

00:40:16.180 They've lost the ability to laugh at themselves

00:40:17.580 because they don't really know who they are.

00:40:19.400 They don't have a real sense of their own character

00:40:21.400 or their own values.

00:40:23.120 And I don't know, man.

00:40:24.200 I mean, I'm hoping...

00:40:25.580 Let me tell you guys something.

00:40:26.880 Like, listen, if you can't laugh at yourself,

00:40:29.800 if you can't, like, dude, there's...

00:40:31.140 Listen, this is, like, for real.

00:40:32.660 I'm going to be real for one second here.

00:40:35.840 Bad shit is going to fucking happen.

00:40:37.820 Right?

00:40:38.100 It is inevitable.

00:40:39.360 I mean, dude, bad shit happens.

00:40:41.420 It happens to everybody.

00:40:42.560 But if you can't figure out how to laugh at yourself

00:40:46.680 and make light and make jokes

00:40:48.660 of even the darkest, fucking dirtiest shit,

00:40:51.380 you're going to go insane

00:40:52.300 because the shit that happens that's bad 0.92

00:40:53.960 is sometimes really fucking bad. 0.83

00:40:56.080 So you're going to have to find a sense of humor, man.

00:40:58.840 You know, it cures a lot.

00:41:03.100 There's a real confidence

00:41:04.120 for people who are able to laugh at themselves.

00:41:06.700 Yeah, dude, but like...

00:41:07.540 They're not insecure.

00:41:08.780 Well, the only reason we get mad

00:41:10.240 when people fucking say stuff

00:41:11.820 that we don't think is funny

00:41:12.780 is because it's a little bit true.

00:41:14.420 Yeah.

00:41:14.920 That's why we get upset.

00:41:16.220 We're like, fuck.

00:41:17.520 So should we be upset at them

00:41:20.280 or should we be upset at ourselves

00:41:21.400 and maybe fix that little thing that we don't like?

00:41:23.360 Yeah.

00:41:23.940 I don't know.

00:41:24.680 I feel like...

00:41:25.340 Or accept the fact that maybe it's true.

00:41:26.920 And you know what?

00:41:27.740 And sometimes it's okay

00:41:28.960 because, dude, it's not...

00:41:30.440 We're not supposed to be perfect fucking people.

00:41:33.260 Like, dude, you know,

00:41:35.280 Vaughn, you're a pastor for a number of years.

00:41:36.860 You're still fucking my pastor, brother.

00:41:39.260 Oh, man.

00:41:39.440 But like, dude,

00:41:40.320 the thing is, is like...

00:41:42.680 Jesus, you know,

00:41:45.060 not to go...

00:41:45.680 This isn't a religious podcast either,

00:41:47.340 but we're fucking talking about that too. 0.75

00:41:48.780 Yeah.

00:41:49.040 Look, dude,

00:41:50.200 you're not supposed to be Jesus.

00:41:52.340 You're supposed to try to be Jesus.

00:41:54.360 Right.

00:41:54.720 Like, dude, like,

00:41:56.000 let's fucking get that... 0.74

00:41:58.000 Right.

00:41:58.380 And we got all these fucking motherfuckers out there. 1.00

00:42:00.640 Like, dude, that guy sent you my DMs

00:42:02.240 a couple weeks back

00:42:03.240 where, like, the dude fucking hit me up. 0.93

00:42:04.640 He's like, oh, wow,

00:42:05.720 you say you try to do all this good,

00:42:07.760 but what's your real motive?

00:42:09.120 Well, I don't know, man.

00:42:09.940 I gave away a number one fucking podcast

00:42:11.760 for fucking free. 0.77

00:42:12.560 I could have made a hundred,

00:42:13.500 fucking $200 million selling.

00:42:15.740 I think my motives are okay.

00:42:17.660 Yeah.

00:42:17.940 Like, fuck you.

00:42:18.980 Yeah.

00:42:19.220 You know,

00:42:19.500 but like, everybody's...

00:42:20.960 They're...

00:42:21.660 Like,

00:42:22.200 we're...

00:42:23.440 As a people,

00:42:25.140 and I'm guilty of this,

00:42:26.500 very, very guilty,

00:42:27.400 and all of you guys sitting here know that.

00:42:30.080 Dude, I hold my...

00:42:31.120 We hold ourselves to this impossible standard.

00:42:34.200 It's impossible to be perfect.

00:42:37.040 Impossible.

00:42:38.140 But we hold ourselves against that,

00:42:39.700 and then we're not.

00:42:40.340 We tell ourselves,

00:42:41.020 fuck, dude.

00:42:41.800 Yeah.

00:42:42.020 You're a piece of shit.

00:42:43.320 Right.

00:42:43.480 And the reason we tell ourselves

00:42:44.660 you're a piece of shit

00:42:45.580 is because all the other motherfuckers 1.00

00:42:47.840 out there on fucking media

00:42:49.160 and in social media

00:42:50.280 and in the world

00:42:51.000 are pretending to be perfect,

00:42:54.340 and they're pointing at you

00:42:56.240 and saying,

00:42:57.120 you're a fucking piece of shit,

00:42:58.620 and you're like,

00:42:58.980 fuck, I guess I am.

00:43:00.320 You see what I'm saying?

00:43:01.080 Absolutely.

00:43:01.500 Bro, dude,

00:43:02.160 we all do fucked up shit. 0.95

00:43:04.080 We all think fucked up shit.

00:43:06.040 Dude,

00:43:06.340 every time I meet a motherfucker, 0.97

00:43:07.880 I cannot fucking help but think

00:43:10.200 what I would do

00:43:11.240 if I had to kill them.

00:43:12.600 I think it every time I meet someone.

00:43:14.800 Do I go kill motherfuckers? 0.99

00:43:16.540 No.

00:43:17.160 And if I did,

00:43:17.620 I wouldn't tell you.

00:43:18.340 But here's the thing.

00:43:20.320 I think it.

00:43:21.340 Does that make me a bad person?

00:43:22.800 Do you think that

00:43:23.380 every time you meet Tyler?

00:43:26.060 Yes.

00:43:28.140 No, dude.

00:43:29.040 But it goes back.

00:43:29.640 I got that one figured out already.

00:43:30.500 It goes back to,

00:43:32.080 listen,

00:43:33.720 I totally resonate with you

00:43:35.320 what you're saying.

00:43:36.140 No, but don't.

00:43:36.380 And the reality is

00:43:36.880 if everybody is honest,

00:43:39.340 there are times

00:43:40.160 that if someone

00:43:41.900 was to screenshot

00:43:42.920 something that we texted

00:43:44.100 to somebody we trusted,

00:43:45.500 whether it was our spouse

00:43:46.540 or whether it was a good buddy

00:43:47.720 or just somebody,

00:43:48.920 there are times

00:43:49.780 that we text things

00:43:51.200 or we say things

00:43:51.980 or we do things

00:43:52.760 that if you took that

00:43:54.120 in isolation,

00:43:55.380 we would all be guilty

00:43:56.660 of being racist,

00:43:57.700 we would all be guilty

00:43:58.460 of being sexist,

00:43:59.260 we would all be guilty

00:44:00.100 of being just jerks. 0.80

00:44:01.020 And the reality is

00:44:01.600 that's part of human being,

00:44:03.040 being a human being.

00:44:04.200 We all do things

00:44:04.940 that are not consistent.

00:44:05.480 Here's what's funny, dude.

00:44:06.760 You take the same shit

00:44:08.540 and you put it on a fucking stage 0.98

00:44:10.480 and you call it comedy,

00:44:11.880 everybody laughs.

00:44:12.760 Yeah.

00:44:13.840 Yeah.

00:44:14.200 You see what I'm saying?

00:44:14.800 Yeah.

00:44:15.140 So why can't we just laugh?

00:44:16.260 Or you take the same shit

00:44:17.120 and you give it to the president

00:44:18.000 and you call for impeachment.

00:44:19.380 Yeah.

00:44:20.080 That's what I'm saying.

00:44:21.220 Talk about a double standard.

00:44:22.680 Yeah, that's right.

00:44:23.600 But see,

00:44:24.580 that's just a testament

00:44:26.180 to how fucking... 0.92

00:44:28.940 Fucked up it is.

00:44:29.920 No, it's not fucked up.

00:44:31.480 It's that people

00:44:32.980 have the inability

00:44:34.540 to understand

00:44:36.320 that everybody's like them.

00:44:39.880 Right?

00:44:40.220 Like President Trump,

00:44:41.200 that motherfucker, 0.72

00:44:41.980 I'm sure there's days

00:44:42.940 you guys all think,

00:44:44.220 oh, dude,

00:44:44.680 he gets up

00:44:45.160 and he thinks he's the shit. 0.70

00:44:46.320 Dude, I promise you.

00:44:47.560 Absolutely.

00:44:48.160 I promise you.

00:44:49.260 You cannot be as successful

00:44:51.060 as he is

00:44:52.300 without highly criticizing yourself.

00:44:54.880 You can't do it.

00:44:55.860 I don't even think it's days.

00:44:56.700 I bet you he goes weeks and months.

00:44:57.800 Dude, I bet he's in the Oval Office

00:44:59.340 in the fetal position sometimes

00:45:00.780 because he's just overwhelmed.

00:45:01.620 But not when anyone's watching.

00:45:03.040 Not when anyone's watching.

00:45:04.160 But I think he is.

00:45:04.980 But going back to your point, Andy,

00:45:06.640 this is actually

00:45:07.620 one of the main reasons.

00:45:09.060 Dude, this...

00:45:09.860 I'm just...

00:45:10.680 I'm not okay

00:45:11.780 with the you are enough statement

00:45:13.520 because here's the thing.

00:45:14.280 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:45:15.100 You're not enough.

00:45:16.240 Yeah.

00:45:16.500 But that's okay.

00:45:17.700 That's right.

00:45:18.160 None of us is enough.

00:45:19.240 Yeah.

00:45:19.840 And to go around and tell people,

00:45:21.240 you are enough, you are enough.

00:45:22.300 No.

00:45:22.760 People know deep in their hearts

00:45:24.200 that there's little...

00:45:25.540 that they have demons,

00:45:26.440 they have little shadows,

00:45:27.300 they have little hiccups

00:45:28.040 in their character.

00:45:28.700 They know that.

00:45:29.300 So if you continue to tell people,

00:45:31.160 you are enough,

00:45:31.820 you are enough, baloney.

00:45:33.340 How about a better statement as,

00:45:35.200 nah, we're not enough,

00:45:36.500 but that's okay.

00:45:37.620 That's okay.

00:45:38.240 How about this?

00:45:39.240 How about instead of telling people

00:45:42.140 to be content with,

00:45:44.160 you are enough,

00:45:44.880 how about you say what you said

00:45:46.700 and say,

00:45:47.100 but the fucking goal here 0.96

00:45:48.340 is to get better.

00:45:49.200 Right.

00:45:49.500 Like,

00:45:50.300 that's the whole point

00:45:51.780 that we're missing.

00:45:52.880 Dude,

00:45:53.080 I used to drive myself

00:45:54.520 into the fucking deepest,

00:45:56.680 darkest shit ever

00:45:58.120 on my own

00:45:59.480 because I was judging myself

00:46:01.360 on what the fuck

00:46:02.200 I thought about,

00:46:03.180 not what I actually did.

00:46:05.120 Okay?

00:46:05.420 Because if you thought what I,

00:46:06.480 if you saw what I thought about,

00:46:08.720 all of you motherfuckers right now, 0.99

00:46:10.440 if you saw what I thought about,

00:46:11.860 actually thought about,

00:46:12.760 you'd be like,

00:46:13.240 holy fuck,

00:46:14.080 this guy is fucked in the head 0.98

00:46:15.500 and you all think

00:46:16.960 those same kind of things.

00:46:18.060 Absolutely.

00:46:18.080 You might not think about

00:46:18.700 killing people and shit, 0.99

00:46:19.620 but like,

00:46:20.120 you think about weird shit

00:46:21.080 and then you might look at a,

00:46:22.760 you might look at some weird porn

00:46:24.020 or you might do some other weird shit 0.74

00:46:25.640 and you're judging yourself

00:46:30.720 based upon what the fuck you think,

00:46:33.600 not what you do

00:46:34.740 and the reality is,

00:46:35.740 if you want to feel good,

00:46:36.900 start judging yourself

00:46:37.760 on what you do,

00:46:39.180 not what you think.

00:46:40.820 You see what I'm saying?

00:46:41.520 Yeah, absolutely, man.

00:46:42.480 So,

00:46:43.000 when you start to judge yourself

00:46:45.260 on what you do

00:46:45.980 and not what you think,

00:46:46.760 guess what happens?

00:46:47.740 You become more productive.

00:46:49.400 Why?

00:46:50.660 Because your value

00:46:51.680 is tied to what you're doing,

00:46:53.000 not what you're thinking about.

00:46:54.040 Yeah.

00:46:54.480 Was that a small-sided confessional though

00:46:55.960 on the,

00:46:56.480 you look at weird porn?

00:46:57.920 I mean, sometimes.

00:47:00.440 No, but you know what?

00:47:01.640 I mean, dude,

00:47:02.440 I ain't the only motherfucker

00:47:03.660 looking at it.

00:47:04.320 They're the most fucking popular websites

00:47:06.140 on the fucking earth.

00:47:07.500 Like, let's be real.

00:47:09.040 Sin City.

00:47:09.600 Yeah.

00:47:09.860 You know, one of my,

00:47:10.800 I love what you're talking about.

00:47:12.300 One of the very, very, very first

00:47:14.180 sermons that I ever preached.

00:47:17.280 It was,

00:47:17.560 I was so excited.

00:47:18.340 I was like,

00:47:18.680 oh, this is the first time

00:47:19.500 I ever were going to preach

00:47:20.240 to an actual live audience

00:47:21.400 and it was in Hutchinson, Kansas

00:47:22.620 at Crestview Bible Church

00:47:23.640 and I preached what,

00:47:25.560 what I thought was going to be

00:47:26.420 a great sermon

00:47:26.920 but when I was done,

00:47:28.140 like I walked down

00:47:28.900 and I was just like,

00:47:29.660 man,

00:47:30.200 I felt like I was just throwing

00:47:31.280 excrement from the pulpit.

00:47:32.600 It was that bad.

00:47:33.360 Like, I couldn't,

00:47:33.840 I couldn't preach my way

00:47:34.740 out of a wet paper bag.

00:47:35.600 Scubula?

00:47:36.700 Scubula, yes.

00:47:37.320 Scubula?

00:47:37.800 Scubula.

00:47:39.860 And I just was really,

00:47:41.400 really discouraged.

00:47:42.740 Like, I was really depressed

00:47:43.580 and the next morning

00:47:45.320 was a Monday morning

00:47:46.440 and I went in

00:47:47.040 and there was a guy

00:47:47.620 who was the custodian.

00:47:49.220 He had been very successful

00:47:50.480 but he kind of retired

00:47:51.360 and just said,

00:47:51.900 hey, I want to clean the church

00:47:53.100 for,

00:47:54.020 use some of my time

00:47:55.180 to serve the church.

00:47:56.140 His name was Bud Enns

00:47:57.620 and he was,

00:47:58.560 which is really typically

00:47:59.880 Kansas name,

00:48:01.040 but Bud Enns

00:48:01.900 and he was,

00:48:02.620 for many years,

00:48:03.340 he was an auctioneer.

00:48:04.980 I don't know if you guys

00:48:05.560 have ever known

00:48:06.020 any of those guys.

00:48:08.100 I've seen them on TV.

00:48:09.020 You know,

00:48:09.340 like they do the,

00:48:10.060 Yeah,

00:48:10.580 like the micro machine.

00:48:11.900 But he was just a really

00:48:13.020 salt to the earth

00:48:13.600 kind of guy

00:48:14.060 and I walk in

00:48:15.620 and he goes,

00:48:16.560 hey brother,

00:48:18.000 that was a great sermon

00:48:18.700 last night.

00:48:19.660 That was so great.

00:48:20.360 I really enjoyed,

00:48:20.920 really blessed my heart

00:48:21.620 and I'm like,

00:48:22.560 are you serious?

00:48:23.760 I said,

00:48:24.880 I felt like I completely failed.

00:48:26.400 I felt like it sucked.

00:48:27.560 I felt like there's no way

00:48:28.900 it could possibly be good

00:48:30.080 and I'm sitting.

00:48:30.940 Well, Vaughn,

00:48:31.320 he was probably just telling him

00:48:32.100 to make you feel better.

00:48:32.740 Well,

00:48:32.920 what he said was,

00:48:33.600 he goes,

00:48:33.920 you know what?

00:48:34.860 It's good you think it sucked.

00:48:36.400 It's good you think

00:48:37.200 that you don't know anything.

00:48:38.720 He said,

00:48:39.100 because man,

00:48:39.920 the minute you walk up there

00:48:40.860 and you think you know everything,

00:48:42.420 you're nothing but a smart ass

00:48:43.360 behind the pulpit.

00:48:44.240 That's right.

00:48:44.660 I was like,

00:48:45.220 that's the truth.

00:48:46.480 That's the truth.

00:48:47.600 And I remember at the time going,

00:48:48.980 he just cussed in church.

00:48:50.520 But,

00:48:50.620 dude,

00:48:51.440 but no,

00:48:51.840 but it really hit me.

00:48:52.880 It really hit me.

00:48:53.800 Like there's a difference

00:48:54.580 between confidence

00:48:55.840 that what you're preaching

00:48:56.940 is the truth

00:48:58.280 and just being smug

00:48:59.940 and being like the idea

00:49:01.300 that you could never

00:49:01.900 possibly be wrong

00:49:02.840 or you could never

00:49:03.340 possibly improve

00:49:04.060 or you could never

00:49:04.580 possibly tweak anything

00:49:05.600 that you believe.

00:49:06.620 And I think we just need

00:49:07.460 more of that

00:49:07.860 and people need

00:49:08.300 to get over themselves

00:49:09.160 and they need to realize,

00:49:10.520 like even with me,

00:49:11.680 like.

00:49:12.380 Dude,

00:49:12.940 and allow motherfuckers 1.00

00:49:14.100 to have some personality,

00:49:15.400 dude.

00:49:15.620 Right.

00:49:16.020 You know?

00:49:16.500 Yeah.

00:49:16.780 I mean,

00:49:17.040 come on, man.

00:49:17.680 No,

00:49:18.040 I agree,

00:49:18.500 man.

00:49:18.920 But,

00:49:19.180 uh.

00:49:19.660 Otherwise,

00:49:20.000 we'll all end up the same.

00:49:21.240 Yeah.

00:49:21.740 There's nothing fun about that.

00:49:23.720 No,

00:49:24.000 that's absolutely.

00:49:24.680 We all think the same thing,

00:49:25.780 can't do this,

00:49:26.400 can't do that,

00:49:26.860 so we all go do the same thing,

00:49:27.880 which is,

00:49:28.160 dude,

00:49:28.400 this is another thought.

00:49:31.020 Why the fuck

00:49:31.840 does everybody want everybody

00:49:32.800 to be just like them?

00:49:33.880 Like,

00:49:34.320 their life ain't that cool.

00:49:35.740 Like,

00:49:35.880 I,

00:49:36.040 like,

00:49:36.760 dude,

00:49:37.320 I look at my own life

00:49:38.840 and I'm like,

00:49:40.360 I wouldn't want everybody

00:49:41.260 to have this life.

00:49:42.300 Like,

00:49:42.500 I love my life.

00:49:43.560 You know what I'm saying?

00:49:44.240 I love things about it,

00:49:45.360 but,

00:49:45.580 like,

00:49:45.760 there's also,

00:49:46.160 like,

00:49:46.420 some hard shit about it, 0.66

00:49:47.380 too.

00:49:47.840 Yeah.

00:49:48.140 So,

00:49:48.540 why,

00:49:48.840 why are we in such a,

00:49:49.880 why are we in such a,

00:49:51.120 um,

00:49:53.240 frenzy

00:49:53.860 to make everyone like us?

00:49:56.580 That's a good question,

00:49:57.520 and you know what?

00:49:58.080 That's the overwhelming thought

00:49:59.580 that I had when you and I

00:50:00.780 had that conversation

00:50:01.540 with our,

00:50:01.980 our pal,

00:50:02.700 JP Donnell,

00:50:03.440 who's a Navy SEAL,

00:50:04.400 and after our long conversation

00:50:05.820 with him and him talking

00:50:06.700 about being in Fallujah

00:50:07.500 and everything,

00:50:08.340 I remember driving home

00:50:09.300 and I,

00:50:09.740 and I remember literally saying,

00:50:11.380 thank God

00:50:13.180 that there are people

00:50:14.280 out there

00:50:14.840 who enjoy killing people.

00:50:16.940 No shit.

00:50:17.900 Because,

00:50:18.700 if there weren't,

00:50:19.360 not enjoy,

00:50:20.120 I shouldn't say enjoy.

00:50:20.920 No, no.

00:50:21.420 Fucking enjoy.

00:50:22.640 But,

00:50:22.860 but,

00:50:22.960 but,

00:50:22.980 but,

00:50:23.040 thank God

00:50:23.800 that there are people

00:50:24.780 who actually

00:50:26.040 are willing to go overseas

00:50:28.720 and,

00:50:30.340 and go under the line of fire

00:50:32.100 and be on a battlefield

00:50:33.640 and have to shoot people

00:50:35.440 and just mow them down.

00:50:36.740 Thank God

00:50:37.320 that there are people out there

00:50:38.340 that are,

00:50:38.500 Don't forget,

00:50:38.900 be willing to get shot at.

00:50:40.060 Be willing to get,

00:50:40.800 yes,

00:50:41.120 be willing to get shot at

00:50:42.240 because,

00:50:42.640 guys,

00:50:42.980 to my shame,

00:50:43.760 I'm not that,

00:50:44.380 I'm a lover,

00:50:44.880 not a fighter,

00:50:45.620 okay?

00:50:46.100 And if everybody was like me,

00:50:47.520 we would have lost our freedom

00:50:48.800 a long time ago.

00:50:50.180 And it's just,

00:50:50.740 it's just like,

00:50:52.540 anybody who thinks

00:50:53.380 that everybody should be

00:50:54.240 a carbon copy of each other

00:50:55.280 just doesn't realize

00:50:56.380 that everybody serves

00:50:57.440 a purpose in the world.

00:50:58.700 And if everybody's the same,

00:51:00.020 there's a lot of purposes

00:51:00.760 that are not going to get fulfilled.

00:51:02.480 And so,

00:51:03.380 you know what?

00:51:04.080 There's that new popular movie

00:51:05.240 about Mr. Rogers.

00:51:06.620 What I love about that

00:51:07.840 is that

00:51:08.300 you have Mr. Rogers

00:51:09.860 and you have Andy Frisella.

00:51:11.620 They both serve a purpose

00:51:12.700 in the world.

00:51:13.880 You trying to be Mr. Rogers

00:51:15.020 would be really awkward.

00:51:16.320 Mr. Rogers trying to be you

00:51:17.600 would be really awkward.

00:51:19.040 But I think it's,

00:51:20.040 you're right.

00:51:20.480 I think people who want

00:51:21.740 everybody to be

00:51:22.620 a cookie cutter version

00:51:24.060 of each other

00:51:25.140 are so short-sighted.

00:51:27.060 They don't realize

00:51:27.920 that if that really happened,

00:51:29.460 we'd all be screwed.

00:51:30.760 Well, dude,

00:51:31.240 and it's also, man,

00:51:33.020 you know,

00:51:33.600 nobody's trying

00:51:36.000 to fuck you up, man. 0.99

00:51:37.440 Like, you know what I'm saying?

00:51:39.100 Like,

00:51:39.720 people are just so,

00:51:42.260 they're so afraid

00:51:43.460 because of the messages

00:51:44.920 that have been sold

00:51:45.680 so hard to them

00:51:47.240 that everybody's there

00:51:48.860 to take their fucking lunch money. 0.92

00:51:50.520 Everybody's there

00:51:51.040 to oppress them.

00:51:52.100 Everybody's there

00:51:52.700 to take their rights.

00:51:54.600 No, motherfucker.

00:51:55.880 We're not trying

00:51:56.560 to take your rights,

00:51:57.260 but what we are trying

00:51:57.960 to do is get you

00:51:58.520 to shut the fuck up 0.99

00:51:59.280 for a minute

00:51:59.660 and actually just

00:52:00.140 go live your life.

00:52:00.840 Right.

00:52:01.400 Like, how about that?

00:52:02.740 How about we just go live?

00:52:04.140 Go do your thing?

00:52:05.040 You want to be gay? 1.00

00:52:06.180 Go be gay. 1.00

00:52:07.260 You want to get married?

00:52:08.100 Be gay, man? 0.99

00:52:08.920 Hey, you know what?

00:52:10.500 Tyler just looked at me.

00:52:12.140 I think I just sparked

00:52:13.040 something with you, bro.

00:52:14.980 But I'm just saying,

00:52:16.120 like, dude, yeah,

00:52:16.800 like, I don't care.

00:52:18.100 Like, we...

00:52:18.700 I don't care

00:52:19.340 if you're happy

00:52:20.120 in that sense.

00:52:20.680 Like, now you're being you.

00:52:21.680 And you know what?

00:52:22.560 At the same time,

00:52:23.820 when a motherfucker 0.98

00:52:24.500 comes from East Buttfuck

00:52:25.900 with no teeth

00:52:26.500 trying to pitchfork you,

00:52:27.540 I'm going to step in

00:52:28.360 and say,

00:52:28.820 go back to where

00:52:29.640 the fuck you came from. 0.91

00:52:30.600 Yeah.

00:52:30.860 You know, we're here

00:52:32.360 for each other.

00:52:33.220 Right.

00:52:33.540 You know,

00:52:34.160 it's the same thing

00:52:34.960 with all these different things.

00:52:36.560 And I don't know.

00:52:38.720 Can I wrap

00:52:40.400 at least a portion

00:52:42.820 of this conversation

00:52:43.680 in a little bow

00:52:45.180 and just say,

00:52:45.820 I think what I feel

00:52:48.000 is a concern

00:52:49.320 is that in America

00:52:50.320 we want to try

00:52:51.580 to deal with everything

00:52:53.080 by forcing people

00:52:54.540 to do it,

00:52:55.120 by having laws

00:52:56.440 or by outlawing

00:52:58.720 certain things

00:52:59.800 to make certain things

00:53:00.780 offensive.

00:53:01.160 And I think

00:53:01.940 we are starting

00:53:02.800 to realize

00:53:03.380 that you can't

00:53:05.360 force people.

00:53:06.060 You can't try

00:53:07.220 to shut people down

00:53:08.560 by doing that.

00:53:09.620 What I think

00:53:10.060 the best way

00:53:10.740 to do it is

00:53:11.360 is that if we all

00:53:12.400 have convictions

00:53:13.020 that we feel

00:53:13.580 very strongly about,

00:53:15.120 the best possible way

00:53:17.480 to influence

00:53:18.220 another person

00:53:18.900 is to become

00:53:19.440 their friend

00:53:19.860 and to care about them.

00:53:22.340 Wait, wait, wait.

00:53:23.440 Wait.

00:53:24.220 There was a dude

00:53:24.900 who did this.

00:53:26.180 Hold on.

00:53:27.480 It was like,

00:53:28.680 I don't know,

00:53:31.020 maybe like 2,000 years ago.

00:53:32.700 Oh, it wasn't Pauly Shore?

00:53:33.640 No, no.

00:53:34.260 It was like 2,000 years ago.

00:53:35.300 He had like a beard.

00:53:36.480 Yeah.

00:53:37.180 Motherfucker had like

00:53:37.840 some long hair.

00:53:39.460 Like he went in a cave.

00:53:41.240 I can't remember

00:53:41.740 the guy's name.

00:53:42.560 Yeah.

00:53:42.920 But like he came,

00:53:43.600 he like came out

00:53:44.860 of the cave.

00:53:45.020 He was a carpenter.

00:53:45.980 He built things.

00:53:46.760 There was a dude

00:53:47.320 who actually moved by that.

00:53:48.860 Yeah.

00:53:49.300 Bob Marley.

00:53:50.040 No.

00:53:50.460 Must be Marley. 0.61

00:53:51.420 No, no.

00:53:51.580 Shit.

00:53:51.780 I can't remember his name.

00:53:52.680 He's 2,000 years old?

00:53:53.580 Well, yeah.

00:53:54.200 I mean, yeah.

00:53:55.680 I'll tell you.

00:53:56.040 Hey, black don't crack, baby. 1.00

00:53:57.360 Yeah.

00:53:58.420 I'll tell you,

00:53:59.080 like for me personally,

00:53:59.940 for the, I guess,

00:54:00.600 the takeaway in the sense,

00:54:01.860 like what I realize is

00:54:03.840 I'm going to live my life.

00:54:05.900 Like I'm going to be me.

00:54:07.060 That's how I run my social.

00:54:08.360 That's how I run my life.

00:54:09.460 That's how,

00:54:10.020 and because we all chase happiness.

00:54:11.240 And I think all too often

00:54:12.720 we get wrapped up

00:54:13.380 in the understanding

00:54:13.960 of like we try to please

00:54:14.840 everybody else.

00:54:15.700 We try to please them

00:54:16.440 with our social.

00:54:17.080 You try to please them

00:54:17.680 with your actions.

00:54:18.320 You try to please,

00:54:19.260 and ultimately you never

00:54:19.960 get fulfilled.

00:54:21.080 You're chasing,

00:54:22.040 trying to fill

00:54:22.460 everybody else's buckets.

00:54:23.700 And so I realized

00:54:24.620 and where I turned,

00:54:25.440 I guess my happiness channel

00:54:26.500 in life is like,

00:54:27.760 dude, I'm just going to do me.

00:54:29.220 And if you don't fucking like me,

00:54:30.760 then I'm not even saying fuck you.

00:54:32.680 I'm saying I get it.

00:54:33.580 It's okay.

00:54:34.140 It's not for you.

00:54:34.840 I'm not.

00:54:35.060 Dude, that's the most powerful

00:54:36.220 place someone can be.

00:54:37.440 Yeah.

00:54:37.800 Where you're like,

00:54:38.860 like, because I'll be real.

00:54:40.180 Like, when I look,

00:54:41.480 when I like observe me

00:54:42.760 from the outside,

00:54:43.960 I'm like, I get why

00:54:44.820 people hate me.

00:54:45.640 Like, I get it.

00:54:46.560 I get why there's people

00:54:47.460 that fucking, 0.98

00:54:48.240 I know, I don't care.

00:54:49.360 I get it.

00:54:50.180 Like, I get it.

00:54:50.860 But I enjoy what the fuck I do.

00:54:52.820 And that's okay.

00:54:53.460 Right.

00:54:53.840 And that's the thing that's,

00:54:54.860 you know, instead of being

00:54:55.520 offended by the fact that

00:54:56.440 nobody likes it

00:54:57.200 or somebody doesn't like me,

00:54:58.000 like, I've learned,

00:54:58.760 like, and people say this,

00:55:00.420 like, you know,

00:55:00.880 they'll be like,

00:55:01.140 oh, don't give a fuck.

00:55:01.840 No, but like,

00:55:02.220 I've learned to like,

00:55:02.820 really genuinely not give a fuck.

00:55:04.180 Like, if you don't like me,

00:55:04.800 I'm okay with that.

00:55:05.580 Like, it's okay.

00:55:07.140 You know, and so what I've realized,

00:55:08.440 you know, if somebody wants

00:55:09.060 to go be gay, go be gay. 0.93

00:55:09.920 I'm doing fact.

00:55:11.080 That's you.

00:55:11.740 I support you.

00:55:12.880 You know what I mean?

00:55:13.260 You want to go,

00:55:13.700 that's you.

00:55:14.280 That's, but this is what

00:55:15.040 I'm going to do.

00:55:16.020 This is how I'm going

00:55:16.620 to live my life.

00:55:17.160 Yeah, I am not going

00:55:17.900 to join your thing.

00:55:19.000 Yeah, don't put your shit on me.

00:55:19.900 Yeah.

00:55:20.360 I'm smart.

00:55:21.000 And we're not necessarily

00:55:21.480 going to agree.

00:55:22.080 And you know what?

00:55:22.560 And I'll sit down

00:55:23.100 and listen to you.

00:55:23.940 You know what I'm saying?

00:55:24.820 But from a life learning standpoint

00:55:27.040 is like,

00:55:27.560 stop trying to serve

00:55:28.280 everybody else's needs.

00:55:29.260 Serve your own.

00:55:30.360 But understand,

00:55:31.100 your own can't serve theirs either.

00:55:33.380 You stay in your fucking lane 0.63

00:55:34.600 and do you

00:55:35.640 whatever you fucking like. 0.73

00:55:37.620 You know what I mean?

00:55:38.020 You want to get freaky

00:55:38.700 with your wife behind closed doors 0.77

00:55:39.840 and you guys are into

00:55:40.300 some weird shit?

00:55:41.200 There's nothing wrong with it.

00:55:41.960 Don't use it.

00:55:42.760 No, that's my point.

00:55:43.660 Yeah.

00:55:43.940 You know, you're not just

00:55:44.460 supposed to lay on top

00:55:45.260 of each other.

00:55:45.760 You're supposed to fucking

00:55:46.400 swing around and see

00:55:47.420 what you can attach to the ceiling.

00:55:48.380 That type of shit, right?

00:55:49.800 But, and if somebody

00:55:50.960 judges you for it,

00:55:52.020 if you like it,

00:55:53.080 who gives a fuck?

00:55:53.740 Dude, that's, to me,

00:55:54.560 that's like one of the funniest

00:55:55.420 things is the whole sexual thing.

00:55:57.100 If you want to fucking,

00:55:58.000 like you want proof

00:55:58.700 of how full of shit people are,

00:56:00.280 let's be fucking real.

00:56:02.400 Porn websites are the biggest

00:56:03.700 fucking website on the internet. 0.95

00:56:05.480 But nobody goes there.

00:56:06.220 But nobody goes there.

00:56:08.900 They're all bots.

00:56:10.040 Right, right.

00:56:10.720 Yeah.

00:56:10.960 Get the fuck out of here, dude.

00:56:11.900 They happen to be living.

00:56:12.580 Oh my God, I can't believe

00:56:13.620 you talked about that.

00:56:14.580 Some of the top traffic now

00:56:15.800 resides in Fenton, Missouri.

00:56:17.740 Is that right?

00:56:18.740 Not me.

00:56:20.540 Sorry, I wasn't picking up on that.

00:56:22.220 I caught that, Vaughn.

00:56:23.260 Maybe it's Manhattan, Kansas City.

00:56:24.200 It could be.

00:56:24.980 Now, if I had a little more time.

00:56:28.160 So, I don't want to put words

00:56:30.260 in your mouth, Andy, 0.82

00:56:31.000 but I'm just kind of curious.

00:56:32.080 But you're going to?

00:56:32.600 I'm going to.

00:56:33.180 Yeah, all right.

00:56:33.580 Because, you know,

00:56:34.720 I'd rather put words

00:56:35.600 in your mouth than something else.

00:56:36.940 I can't believe I just said that.

00:56:38.760 See, now I'm going to,

00:56:39.480 now I'm going to like.

00:56:40.260 We're corrupting you.

00:56:40.820 We need to go repent.

00:56:41.140 Yeah.

00:56:41.980 You better go say a prayer.

00:56:43.340 Yeah.

00:56:43.680 Well, in all honesty,

00:56:44.820 I do, I do.

00:56:45.900 You know, you guys know,

00:56:47.020 I do worry that, like,

00:56:48.380 I'm up here,

00:56:49.020 I'm trying to be a good

00:56:50.200 Christian boy,

00:56:50.900 I'm going to say something stupid

00:56:51.920 and then I'm going to get

00:56:54.980 people are so,

00:56:56.040 they don't even understand.

00:56:57.580 This is how fucking stupid people are

00:56:59.800 and how uncultured

00:57:00.680 and uneducated they are. 0.69

00:57:02.340 People don't even understand

00:57:03.460 that the MFCEO project

00:57:04.900 is a fucking parallel

00:57:06.280 to the Bible.

00:57:07.440 It just has some fucking

00:57:08.540 curse words in it.

00:57:09.640 Like, they don't even get it.

00:57:11.100 Like, we just did 300 episodes

00:57:12.620 on literally the values

00:57:15.540 that are taught

00:57:16.240 from 2,000 years ago

00:57:17.820 presented in a way

00:57:18.960 that younger people

00:57:21.160 can actually listen to.

00:57:23.120 Like, and they don't even get it.

00:57:24.620 Yeah.

00:57:24.800 Like, why the fuck

00:57:25.600 do I have a pastor

00:57:26.340 on the fucking show?

00:57:27.280 It's because we're

00:57:27.700 Jedi Masters.

00:57:28.580 Yeah.

00:57:28.960 No shit, dude.

00:57:30.000 No, but know what

00:57:30.600 I was going to say, though,

00:57:31.340 in all seriousness.

00:57:31.780 So, what I'm telling you is

00:57:32.800 you're doing good work.

00:57:33.660 Oh, thank you, man.

00:57:34.420 Yeah.

00:57:34.780 What I, what I,

00:57:35.620 and I will say this.

00:57:38.120 I'm sorry for,

00:57:38.140 I'm sorry for,

00:57:39.060 saying so much shit

00:57:41.340 that your more traditional

00:57:43.380 people get mad about.

00:57:44.440 No, no, listen,

00:57:45.080 I'm totally cool.

00:57:46.080 Listen, the only thing

00:57:47.280 Tell them to yell at me.

00:57:47.900 The only thing that I'm

00:57:48.840 really truly ashamed of myself

00:57:50.540 in the last year

00:57:51.340 because I feel like,

00:57:52.200 you know what,

00:57:52.660 and I'm not telling anybody

00:57:54.220 that I'm Jesus.

00:57:55.060 I'm trying to be like Jesus

00:57:56.100 and it is.

00:57:56.740 It's hard.

00:57:57.400 In fact, I would argue

00:57:58.120 it's impossible

00:57:59.060 unless the Spirit of God

00:57:59.940 is working in me.

00:58:00.200 It's supposed to be impossible.

00:58:02.120 But what,

00:58:02.440 but what I'm truly,

00:58:04.040 what I'm truly ashamed of

00:58:05.420 in the last probably six months

00:58:06.740 is that.

00:58:07.500 You didn't run that half marathon.

00:58:08.600 Well, that,

00:58:09.460 and you guys all helped me

00:58:10.840 get really in shape

00:58:12.020 and I got to a point,

00:58:13.080 now I'm a little off my game,

00:58:14.720 but I'm going to get back on it

00:58:15.900 because it's a journey, right?

00:58:17.600 We know that.

00:58:18.940 But I was to the point

00:58:19.920 where I looked really good.

00:58:21.080 I took a picture of myself

00:58:21.920 with a shirt off,

00:58:22.940 posted on social media

00:58:24.440 and I got some,

00:58:25.560 got some credits.

00:58:26.420 Oh, I got about 95%

00:58:28.240 of the people were like,

00:58:29.360 yes, awesome,

00:58:30.460 go Vaughn, good job.

00:58:31.880 Got 5% that,

00:58:33.000 I got a couple people

00:58:33.860 that said,

00:58:34.180 you know what,

00:58:36.000 you really want to,

00:58:36.820 I mean,

00:58:37.120 do you want to be

00:58:37.520 a spiritual leader

00:58:38.200 or do you want to like

00:58:39.020 incite people to lust?

00:58:40.140 Well, first of all,

00:58:41.200 I don't know how many.

00:58:41.700 That's kind of a compliment.

00:58:42.940 Yeah, it was.

00:58:43.840 That's a compliment.

00:58:44.220 I don't think

00:58:45.420 I'm going to be

00:58:46.060 inciting too many people

00:58:47.120 to lust unless they're 0.59

00:58:48.080 like post-60.

00:58:50.060 But, um,

00:58:50.900 but I,

00:58:51.340 obviously you do.

00:58:52.740 Dude, I totally caved though.

00:58:54.200 I pulled it off.

00:58:55.060 They wouldn't be saying that

00:58:55.860 if it wasn't true.

00:58:56.720 Well, I appreciate that,

00:58:57.760 but I pulled it down.

00:58:59.640 I pulled it down.

00:58:59.940 But why?

00:59:00.400 But why?

00:59:00.880 See, this is where I struggle.

00:59:02.120 I'll tell you why,

00:59:02.460 because they knew

00:59:02.900 exactly where to get me.

00:59:04.020 They knew that I wanted

00:59:04.880 to be a powerful influence

00:59:06.300 for spiritual

00:59:06.840 and they questioned that.

00:59:08.760 And in that moment of weakness,

00:59:10.220 Well, I question,

00:59:12.860 I know my,

00:59:13.660 let's put it this way.

00:59:14.420 I'm very aware of my,

00:59:15.920 my own strength,

00:59:17.060 or excuse me,

00:59:17.580 my own,

00:59:17.940 my own temptations,

00:59:20.000 my own struggles,

00:59:20.820 my own challenges,

00:59:21.580 my own demons.

00:59:22.240 I'm aware of that.

00:59:23.540 So I'm probably really,

00:59:25.720 you know,

00:59:25.920 you guys always joke

00:59:26.960 a little bit about,

00:59:27.740 you know,

00:59:28.200 Vaughn's awkward AF,

00:59:29.580 you know,

00:59:29.900 sometimes.

00:59:30.680 It's because,

00:59:31.520 frankly,

00:59:31.920 half the time

00:59:32.460 that I'm with you guys,

00:59:33.280 I'm thinking,

00:59:34.040 okay,

00:59:34.320 I want to make sure

00:59:35.560 I don't do anything

00:59:36.140 that makes Jesus look bad.

00:59:37.460 You know?

00:59:38.360 What does that say

00:59:39.240 about us, bro?

00:59:40.160 No,

00:59:40.480 it says nothing.

00:59:41.040 That's my issue, dude.

00:59:42.060 That's my issue.

00:59:43.260 It's not yours. 0.78

00:59:43.500 Yeah, but I got to answer

00:59:44.080 the same guy you answered, too.

00:59:45.180 You think we're,

00:59:45.740 you're,

00:59:46.000 so my point being is like,

00:59:47.060 No, no, no, no,

00:59:47.220 don't turn this as an insult

00:59:48.520 to you guys.

00:59:49.100 Vaughn's going home

00:59:49.780 and saying,

00:59:50.700 these guys,

00:59:51.300 these guys are bad sinners.

00:59:53.320 I'm trying to fix them.

00:59:55.320 I'm doing everything I got.

00:59:56.220 No, no, no, no, no.

00:59:57.380 But you're contradicting yourself here.

00:59:59.100 You're contradicting yourself.

00:59:59.940 What I'm saying is that

01:00:00.460 you're not out there

01:00:01.340 telling people you're a pastor.

01:00:02.880 Well, I'm a former pastor,

01:00:03.780 I'm not a pastor,

01:00:04.380 but you're not out there

01:00:10.000 is that there's a part of me

01:00:11.020 that's-

01:00:11.300 The point isn't to fucking talk about it.

01:00:12.900 The point is to live it.

01:00:13.880 That's right.

01:00:14.420 Well, I agree.

01:00:14.880 And you know what you're living?

01:00:15.720 You're living in inspiration

01:00:16.700 and for those people

01:00:17.520 that throw stones in,

01:00:18.500 those are the people

01:00:19.160 who throw stones.

01:00:20.120 They're ignorant.

01:00:21.040 Not only are they ignorant,

01:00:21.860 they're the same motherfucker

01:00:22.580 who's driving traffic

01:00:23.240 to the porn site.

01:00:24.280 Do you know what I'm saying?

01:00:25.200 So like I've learned,

01:00:26.120 you can't listen to the noise.

01:00:27.420 Right.

01:00:27.720 If your true intention is like,

01:00:28.920 this is my intention,

01:00:30.480 my intention is to show

01:00:31.940 that I have progressed.

01:00:32.980 It's to show that it's possible for you

01:00:34.420 and if you're struggling,

01:00:36.140 I can help you get through that journey.

01:00:37.680 That's your intention.

01:00:38.480 I know you well enough.

01:00:39.200 That's your intention.

01:00:39.960 Is there a little bit of ego into it

01:00:41.140 that I look good,

01:00:41.720 I want to put on?

01:00:42.180 Yeah, but there's nothing wrong with that.

01:00:43.040 Yeah.

01:00:43.300 Like we all,

01:00:43.820 there's all a self-serving fucking ego. 0.72

01:00:45.520 No, I agree.

01:00:46.080 Otherwise, social media wouldn't exist.

01:00:47.800 But you can't listen to the 5% 1.00

01:00:49.900 to drive 95% of your fucking life. 0.94

01:00:52.100 No, you're absolutely right

01:00:53.060 and that's why I was ticked off.

01:00:54.720 You'll end up in their mom's basement

01:00:55.880 and their computer right next to them.

01:00:57.240 You know what I'm saying?

01:00:57.820 No, you're exactly right.

01:00:58.820 But that's my point earlier

01:00:59.720 is like, I'm going to do me.

01:01:01.140 Right.

01:01:01.500 And I've learned like over time,

01:01:02.740 I'm going to continue to do me.

01:01:04.020 It takes a long time to get to that point

01:01:05.660 where you can legitimately look at yourself

01:01:07.520 and not get mad when people talk shit. 0.76

01:01:09.940 But I do have to say this.

01:01:11.460 When you say do me,

01:01:12.600 when you say I'm going to do me,

01:01:14.980 I think it's really important

01:01:16.400 because I think a lot of people

01:01:17.620 listen to this kind of stuff

01:01:18.620 and they take that and they run with it.

01:01:20.440 Sal Fursella is not saying,

01:01:21.880 I'm going to do me

01:01:23.400 and that means F you to everybody

01:01:25.800 and I'm never going to take any criticism.

01:01:27.340 No, what you mean is

01:01:27.960 I'm confident in who I am

01:01:29.440 and I know I'm going to get better.

01:01:31.160 But you know, Andy,

01:01:31.760 some people say, I'm going to do me.

01:01:33.520 And what they mean is

01:01:34.360 I'm going to go be an asshole.

01:01:35.380 Yeah.

01:01:35.740 Look, dude.

01:01:36.300 It's code for B.

01:01:37.120 Saying you give zero fucks

01:01:39.760 on the internet,

01:01:40.980 first of all,

01:01:41.720 it means A, you give the most fucks

01:01:43.700 and B, I cannot stand that fucking phrase.

01:01:46.280 I know.

01:01:46.620 Zero fucks. 1.00

01:01:47.320 Yeah, yeah.

01:01:47.720 Get the fuck out of here.

01:01:48.780 You give the most fucks, motherfucker.

01:01:50.580 That's why you got to announce it.

01:01:51.900 Yeah.

01:01:52.200 All right.

01:01:52.880 Secondly, what it means

01:01:54.360 is that these people

01:01:56.760 are using that battle cry

01:02:00.160 to justify their shittiness.

01:02:03.500 That is not do you.

01:02:04.840 That's right.

01:02:05.200 Do you is be the best version of you.

01:02:08.100 That's right.

01:02:08.440 And if people don't like it,

01:02:10.160 pay no mind to them

01:02:11.300 and keep on that path.

01:02:13.040 And I'm a firm believer too,

01:02:14.600 like, and I've learned,

01:02:15.460 you know, I've learned this over time

01:02:16.540 is like, you know,

01:02:18.360 you know when you're doing wrong.

01:02:20.160 Like there's an inherent code

01:02:21.400 inside your brain

01:02:22.180 where people know

01:02:23.340 when they're fucking up. 0.84

01:02:24.240 You don't have to.

01:02:24.660 Everybody does.

01:02:25.800 The only people

01:02:26.640 that don't know that

01:02:27.600 are people who are

01:02:28.480 actual certified sociopaths.

01:02:30.240 Okay.

01:02:30.620 Yeah, so.

01:02:31.300 I agree with that.

01:02:31.880 And if you can be deathly honest

01:02:33.620 when you look yourself in the mirror,

01:02:34.760 like when you fuck up, 0.91

01:02:36.000 do you recognize it

01:02:37.800 and can you make the adjustment

01:02:38.880 moving forward?

01:02:39.760 Or do you quote unquote

01:02:41.080 do you and then continue

01:02:42.200 down that path

01:02:42.720 because you like doing the wrong,

01:02:44.140 right?

01:02:44.280 There's a fine line there.

01:02:45.940 No, I totally agree.

01:02:46.400 And I think people want to use,

01:02:47.960 especially in today's society,

01:02:49.440 they want to use that

01:02:50.100 as they're out for it's okay.

01:02:51.600 No, no, no, motherfucker.

01:02:52.380 It's still wrong

01:02:52.960 and you know it's wrong

01:02:54.100 and you know you're doing wrong

01:02:55.200 but then you're going to use the,

01:02:56.700 well, I don't give a fuck

01:02:57.720 what you think

01:02:58.220 to justify it as being right to you.

01:02:59.940 Dude, you know what I think, man?

01:03:01.440 Like, I really think this sometimes.

01:03:03.480 I think sometimes

01:03:04.380 there's like another alien civilization

01:03:06.680 out there

01:03:07.400 that has like inserted

01:03:09.040 like all these different things

01:03:11.200 into our society

01:03:12.120 and they're playing a fucking, 0.98

01:03:13.480 like, it's like an experiment.

01:03:15.200 Like, they're like, okay,

01:03:16.120 well, what are these motherfuckers 1.00

01:03:17.040 going to do if we do this?

01:03:18.100 Was that after you smoked

01:03:19.580 the joint with Obama?

01:03:20.680 Yeah, you're right after.

01:03:22.920 I'm sitting over here

01:03:23.780 thinking I'm like, man.

01:03:26.080 But you know what the beauty is?

01:03:28.140 One, you don't know

01:03:29.040 and two, it's still your job

01:03:30.100 to do the best you can.

01:03:30.880 That's right.

01:03:31.460 But like, dude,

01:03:32.020 what I'm trying to say is

01:03:33.880 is like, you know,

01:03:35.820 we don't really know.

01:03:37.500 Nobody fucking knows shit.

01:03:39.100 Oh.

01:03:39.660 So certain people know

01:03:41.380 how to operate

01:03:42.000 within the confinements

01:03:43.020 and the restraints

01:03:43.720 of certain things.

01:03:44.620 Like, let's say in business, right?

01:03:46.800 Like certain people

01:03:47.460 have figured out that

01:03:48.820 it's a game.

01:03:49.380 It's a fucking game.

01:03:50.820 Like, everything is

01:03:52.660 a little game.

01:03:53.540 Just think of it

01:03:54.160 like Nintendo, man.

01:03:55.020 Like, you're trying

01:03:55.340 to get that next level.

01:03:56.260 Like, oh, do, do, do, do, do.

01:03:57.880 No, I think there's

01:03:58.760 a distinction that needs

01:03:59.600 to be made

01:04:00.040 and a lot of the

01:04:01.300 so-called scholars

01:04:02.640 have made this

01:04:03.140 and I think it's

01:04:03.520 an important distinction.

01:04:04.480 There's a difference

01:04:04.980 between reasonable certainty

01:04:06.240 and absolute certainty.

01:04:07.900 You are reasonably certain.

01:04:10.540 Well, I would say

01:04:11.480 because you've actually

01:04:12.280 experienced it

01:04:12.960 and found that it works.

01:04:14.520 All the stuff

01:04:15.240 that you've talked about

01:04:16.000 on the MSCO project

01:04:16.980 and the things

01:04:17.660 that help people

01:04:18.640 build businesses,

01:04:19.600 you are reasonably

01:04:20.300 to confidently certain

01:04:21.660 that those things work.

01:04:23.240 But none of us

01:04:24.300 is absolutely certain.

01:04:25.940 Newsflash.

01:04:27.060 I am reasonably certain

01:04:28.540 there is a God

01:04:29.400 and that my religion

01:04:32.060 is true.

01:04:32.800 But I'm not absolutely certain

01:04:34.720 that it's true

01:04:35.400 any more than an atheist

01:04:36.420 is absolutely certain.

01:04:37.900 That's the purpose

01:04:38.200 of faith.

01:04:39.080 Right.

01:04:39.400 Well, and I would say

01:04:40.280 that's the purpose

01:04:40.740 of humility.

01:04:41.520 All of us need to,

01:04:42.320 we can have

01:04:43.140 meaningful conversations,

01:04:44.720 we can have...

01:04:45.420 Are you ready?

01:04:46.220 I'm sorry,

01:04:46.720 I've got to cut you off

01:04:47.340 because I'm fucking 0.75

01:04:47.860 chomping here.

01:04:48.560 Okay, go ahead.

01:04:49.380 But this is my driving

01:04:50.920 factor in life.

01:04:51.920 This is me

01:04:53.100 and I talk about it

01:04:54.060 all the time

01:04:54.480 because I'm absolutely

01:04:55.880 certain I'm going

01:04:56.520 to fucking die. 0.60

01:04:57.700 Yeah.

01:04:58.160 I'm absolutely certain.

01:04:59.140 You're right.

01:04:59.700 There is one thing

01:05:00.320 that's certain in life.

01:05:01.060 There's a couple things.

01:05:02.300 Like gravity is a certainty.

01:05:03.700 There's fucking gravity.

01:05:04.860 Taxes.

01:05:05.440 Right.

01:05:05.780 Yeah.

01:05:06.240 Like we have to breathe out.

01:05:07.600 Like there's certain things.

01:05:08.820 I guess taxes actually aren't

01:05:09.820 because you fall below

01:05:10.580 a certain back.

01:05:11.260 But yeah,

01:05:11.860 to your point, yes.

01:05:13.080 Death is certain.

01:05:14.020 Death is certain,

01:05:14.980 which to me,

01:05:15.780 I always think,

01:05:16.360 okay,

01:05:16.500 at some point in time,

01:05:17.240 I'm going to go see

01:05:18.360 my scorecard

01:05:19.040 of how I live life.

01:05:20.880 Like I'm going to get there

01:05:21.900 and I think there's going

01:05:23.160 to be a guy

01:05:23.520 that's checking off

01:05:24.240 like, you know,

01:05:25.020 like how do you get

01:05:25.760 through the gates

01:05:26.260 and maybe what happens?

01:05:27.440 It's how good you did

01:05:28.180 the life before.

01:05:29.100 And so you go back

01:05:29.800 to your moral compass

01:05:30.500 of between right and wrong.

01:05:31.560 I'm always playing the game

01:05:32.680 to myself saying,

01:05:34.800 okay,

01:05:35.000 at the end of the day,

01:05:36.420 I've realized that

01:05:37.360 if you can compound

01:05:39.260 more good decisions

01:05:40.180 on top of the bad decisions,

01:05:41.160 you win.

01:05:41.700 Well, life is going

01:05:42.400 to be no different.

01:05:42.960 When I die,

01:05:43.880 I hope that I've made

01:05:45.300 as many good fucking decisions

01:05:46.620 as I possibly could

01:05:47.860 to win that game.

01:05:49.480 I don't know what the game is.

01:05:50.780 I don't have a damn clue.

01:05:51.980 I have faith

01:05:52.500 that there's something there,

01:05:53.540 but I'm trying to do

01:05:54.860 my very best

01:05:55.540 in each and every single day

01:05:56.880 of making one good decision

01:05:58.080 on top of another,

01:05:58.960 on top of another,

01:05:59.760 on top of another,

01:06:00.600 my way,

01:06:01.800 the way that I think

01:06:02.580 the game should be played

01:06:03.600 so that when I die,

01:06:06.340 hopefully,

01:06:06.960 I got a high score.

01:06:07.820 I know that's...

01:06:10.440 Dude, either way you win

01:06:11.520 because even if there

01:06:12.640 is nothing after it...

01:06:13.680 I did my best.

01:06:14.160 You did a good job

01:06:14.860 while you were here.

01:06:15.300 I did my best.

01:06:15.740 Right.

01:06:16.780 There's a tension

01:06:18.020 in the Bible

01:06:18.880 and I think it's one

01:06:21.160 that I hold very...

01:06:23.320 I try to hold

01:06:24.300 very, very clearly

01:06:25.460 and delicately,

01:06:28.120 which is that

01:06:29.160 Jesus tells the story

01:06:30.200 of the two men

01:06:30.760 that were standing

01:06:31.200 on the street corner

01:06:31.860 and one of them

01:06:32.440 is what we would call

01:06:34.020 a very respectable

01:06:35.320 religious leader

01:06:36.340 and he literally sits there

01:06:37.920 and he prays,

01:06:38.820 oh God,

01:06:39.220 I thank you

01:06:39.560 that I'm not like other men.

01:06:40.560 I thank you

01:06:40.860 that I haven't done this

01:06:41.660 and I thank you

01:06:42.100 that I'm so good at this

01:06:43.440 and it's just literally

01:06:44.480 this exercise

01:06:45.180 in human pride, right?

01:06:46.580 And then there's another guy

01:06:47.600 who for the culture

01:06:48.720 at the time

01:06:49.180 was considered

01:06:49.720 one of the most

01:06:50.400 despised people.

01:06:51.440 He was a tax collector

01:06:53.000 which is, I guess,

01:06:53.900 not too different

01:06:54.460 from nowadays.

01:06:55.660 But the tax collector

01:06:56.660 on the other hand,

01:06:57.380 his prayer was like,

01:06:58.920 God, I suck.

01:07:00.260 Be merciful to me.

01:07:02.540 And Jesus asks,

01:07:03.660 which one of those guys

01:07:04.860 do you think

01:07:05.280 is more pleasing to God?

01:07:06.880 And the people

01:07:07.460 at the time

01:07:08.220 would have thought

01:07:08.940 that it was

01:07:10.280 the respectable religious guy.

01:07:12.480 But Jesus is like,

01:07:13.200 no.

01:07:13.840 It's the guy

01:07:14.220 that basically said,

01:07:15.100 I'm humble.

01:07:15.900 I know my need of you.

01:07:16.920 So the tension in Scripture

01:07:18.360 as I understand Scripture

01:07:19.920 is we are to do

01:07:21.140 everything we can

01:07:22.000 to do good works,

01:07:23.260 to do good deeds,

01:07:24.120 to be our best possible self.

01:07:26.420 You know?

01:07:27.020 It's that Ecclesiastes.

01:07:27.860 I thank God every day

01:07:29.120 that I'm who the fuck I am.

01:07:30.240 Right.

01:07:30.500 It's Ecclesiastes.

01:07:31.360 So that's wrong, huh?

01:07:34.160 Hold on.

01:07:35.320 Hold that thought.

01:07:36.420 Ecclesiastes 9.10

01:07:37.300 says whatever you do,

01:07:38.180 do with all your might

01:07:38.900 for you're serving the Lord.

01:07:39.800 Right?

01:07:40.380 So we are supposed to,

01:07:41.540 this is what I've learned

01:07:42.180 from you guys,

01:07:42.760 we are supposed to be fierce

01:07:44.200 and competitive

01:07:45.160 and driven

01:07:45.840 in becoming the best

01:07:46.740 possible version of ourselves.

01:07:48.100 But really,

01:07:48.580 at the end of the day,

01:07:49.960 we have to say,

01:07:50.940 God be merciful.

01:07:53.140 I'm not who I should be.

01:07:54.420 Well, that's why

01:07:55.420 I follow it up with.

01:07:56.620 Right.

01:07:56.880 I'm like,

01:07:57.580 hey,

01:07:57.960 thanks for making me mean

01:07:59.160 and thanks for all the challenges

01:08:00.340 and thanks for all the things

01:08:01.300 you allow me to learn.

01:08:02.180 help me figure it the fuck out

01:08:04.560 because I don't know.

01:08:05.780 And you know what?

01:08:06.440 I actually misquoted that.

01:08:09.160 I actually misquoted that story.

01:08:11.760 I said that the Pharisee, 1.00

01:08:13.260 the religious leader said,

01:08:14.520 God, thank you for who I am.

01:08:15.600 That's not what he said.

01:08:16.380 He said,

01:08:16.900 I thank you that I'm not

01:08:18.340 like other men. 0.67

01:08:19.280 Oh.

01:08:19.560 Meaning,

01:08:19.880 he was basically seeing himself

01:08:22.040 as superior to other people.

01:08:23.220 I misspoke that.

01:08:24.680 No.

01:08:25.120 And I know you didn't,

01:08:26.320 dude.

01:08:26.500 I know that.

01:08:27.120 But anyway,

01:08:27.580 so here's what I was going to say.

01:08:28.940 No,

01:08:29.120 I actually thank God

01:08:30.300 that I am a regular dude

01:08:33.240 who has regular struggles

01:08:34.380 and has regular things happen

01:08:35.880 because I meet a lot of people,

01:08:38.240 especially in the fucking clown circus

01:08:39.760 that we just spent five years in

01:08:41.680 that literally think

01:08:43.460 they're better than everybody.

01:08:44.300 Right.

01:08:45.160 Dude,

01:08:45.460 I have to admit,

01:08:46.200 I mean,

01:08:46.400 you're a business genius,

01:08:47.740 but I actually think

01:08:48.560 that a real key to your success

01:08:49.940 over the last three or four years

01:08:51.040 has been the authenticity

01:08:52.360 and the transparency

01:08:53.340 with which you have just said,

01:08:54.820 I'm a regular dude.

01:08:56.060 I got struggles

01:08:56.580 just like everybody else.

01:08:57.920 And that's what I was going to say

01:08:58.800 to transition

01:08:59.760 to what I was going to say is,

01:09:01.120 would you,

01:09:01.560 this is where I didn't want

01:09:02.500 to put words in your mouth,

01:09:03.280 but do you think it's fair to say,

01:09:04.440 you know,

01:09:04.620 we did these 300 episodes

01:09:05.760 of the MFCO project.

01:09:07.880 Those were specifically designed

01:09:09.780 to speak,

01:09:11.280 you know,

01:09:11.820 tell people what they needed to hear

01:09:13.120 to build a business

01:09:14.740 from a startup to nine figures.

01:09:16.240 We also gave a lot of information

01:09:18.280 about mental toughness,

01:09:19.320 that sort of stuff.

01:09:19.900 And it was real in your face.

01:09:20.940 It was real sort of prescriptive

01:09:22.460 and educational.

01:09:23.740 Do you almost feel like

01:09:24.560 what we're doing now

01:09:25.420 is that you're just going to say,

01:09:27.000 all right,

01:09:28.440 I am who I am.

01:09:29.600 I'm going to talk about every

01:09:30.920 fucking thing. 0.87

01:09:31.040 I'm going to talk about everything.

01:09:32.320 I'm going to enjoy it.

01:09:33.100 We're going to laugh.

01:09:33.880 And hopefully I influence you

01:09:35.180 to become a better person.

01:09:36.240 That's pretty much it.

01:09:36.720 And to do it right.

01:09:37.440 Yeah.

01:09:37.760 To me,

01:09:38.240 I think that's the fundamental difference.

01:09:39.980 Well, look, man.

01:09:40.320 Or support them

01:09:40.980 in being the best version of them.

01:09:42.560 And it's okay

01:09:43.340 if they think weird shit

01:09:44.240 or they want to do something different.

01:09:45.280 Like, dude,

01:09:46.300 you're not fucked up.

01:09:47.860 Yeah.

01:09:48.340 You know, like,

01:09:49.020 go, run. 0.59

01:09:50.060 Yeah, dude.

01:09:50.700 And that's, you know,

01:09:51.480 I just want,

01:09:52.160 I guess, like,

01:09:54.020 look, dude,

01:09:54.520 a couple things

01:09:55.220 I say to that.

01:09:56.140 No, you're right.

01:09:57.080 A hundred percent.

01:09:58.400 But I will add also this.

01:10:01.460 I'm not fucking Jesus.

01:10:03.060 I'm not even close.

01:10:04.500 And I get tired.

01:10:05.640 I got really fucking tired

01:10:07.620 of the standard

01:10:08.860 that people tried to hold me to

01:10:10.960 because I was teaching them

01:10:12.480 about business.

01:10:13.560 I don't feel,

01:10:14.460 that standard

01:10:16.000 that they were holding me to

01:10:17.420 is not fair.

01:10:19.740 And it's not something I enjoyed.

01:10:21.240 And it's not something

01:10:21.900 I even hold myself to

01:10:22.780 because I don't,

01:10:23.460 dude, you know why

01:10:24.300 I don't have fucking kids?

01:10:25.380 One, we had a lot of trouble

01:10:26.820 trying to have them.

01:10:27.940 Two, I'm not sure

01:10:28.880 I really fucking want them.

01:10:30.520 Okay?

01:10:30.960 Because I do like certain things

01:10:32.700 that aren't really

01:10:33.360 that cool for kids.

01:10:34.740 All right?

01:10:36.320 Not saying kids are bad or good.

01:10:38.960 Maybe they're just not for me.

01:10:40.160 I don't know.

01:10:40.720 He likes two-door cars.

01:10:42.000 It's not conducive to kids.

01:10:43.180 That's right.

01:10:43.660 I love two-door cars.

01:10:45.180 Yeah.

01:10:45.780 But, like, dude,

01:10:46.680 for example,

01:10:47.300 like, you know,

01:10:49.140 they would say shit like,

01:10:50.240 oh, dude,

01:10:50.720 you wrote my kids' books

01:10:51.820 and you say the F word.

01:10:53.360 Well, I didn't put them

01:10:54.000 in the fucking book. 0.99

01:10:55.060 What the fuck?

01:10:58.120 But you admit,

01:10:58.760 we did think about

01:10:59.580 doing that for fun.

01:11:01.000 Yeah, but like, yeah.

01:11:01.840 Not for that series,

01:11:02.760 but for something else.

01:11:03.620 For the adults,

01:11:04.280 like, make a funny movie.

01:11:04.940 Right, right, right.

01:11:05.440 But, like, you know,

01:11:06.720 like, I couldn't even

01:11:08.120 tell a joke, man.

01:11:09.100 If I told a joke,

01:11:10.000 people would look at me like,

01:11:10.720 oh, my God,

01:11:11.840 I can't believe that

01:11:12.740 he said that.

01:11:13.920 Oh, I'm so offended.

01:11:16.540 Fuck you, man.

01:11:17.440 Well, you can be part of the-

01:11:17.880 I'm not your fucking

01:11:18.620 dancing clown.

01:11:20.040 You know what I'm saying?

01:11:20.680 Like, dude,

01:11:21.080 the other motherfuckers 1.00

01:11:22.360 will dance for you.

01:11:23.460 You know why they'll dance for you?

01:11:24.660 Because they got to.

01:11:25.800 Right.

01:11:26.100 I don't have to.

01:11:26.740 Well, and the other thing is

01:11:27.380 you can be part of the problem,

01:11:28.180 part of the solution.

01:11:28.880 Yeah, and that's what-

01:11:29.880 You know what?

01:11:30.540 This is the solution

01:11:32.120 because the goal here

01:11:33.760 is to fucking make people

01:11:35.380 reverse their offensive whatever

01:11:37.560 and fucking have a good time. 0.81

01:11:40.120 Learn some shit,

01:11:41.200 have a laugh,

01:11:42.320 be a good motherfucker, 0.80

01:11:43.700 and you'll have a good life.

01:11:45.000 That's reality.

01:11:45.960 You know what?

01:11:46.680 Because a good life

01:11:47.440 is surrounded by a lot of good people

01:11:48.700 with a lot of good friends

01:11:49.480 and a lot of good memories,

01:11:50.420 and when you can fucking get to that level, 0.64

01:11:51.980 you learn a lot about people,

01:11:53.540 you get to hear all their weird fucking shit 0.64

01:11:55.380 and you bond.

01:11:56.320 Yeah, but the funny thing is,

01:11:57.580 is, like,

01:11:58.340 people will come here

01:11:59.780 and they see how you and I

01:12:01.680 interact with people,

01:12:02.760 how we just fuck, 0.76

01:12:03.620 like, dude, listen,

01:12:05.500 if you have thin skin,

01:12:06.520 you cannot work here.

01:12:07.540 It's impossible.

01:12:08.600 Like, the shit that happens here,

01:12:11.640 it would not be allowed other places.

01:12:13.480 That's just reality.

01:12:14.580 That's our culture.

01:12:15.600 It's not that we do bad shit.

01:12:17.040 We're not discriminating.

01:12:18.440 And you know what?

01:12:19.400 There has been situations

01:12:20.820 where people got their feelings hurt,

01:12:22.500 and you know what?

01:12:23.320 I felt fucking horrible.

01:12:25.440 I'd pull them in-

01:12:26.260 And you dealt with it.

01:12:26.840 And I'd say, hey,

01:12:28.140 look, bro,

01:12:28.680 you're part of the team.

01:12:30.800 This is why we do these things.

01:12:32.140 If that hurts your feelings,

01:12:32.940 I didn't intend to do that.

01:12:34.440 And you know what usually happens?

01:12:36.200 They're like, oh.

01:12:37.900 Yeah, and they're like, oh.

01:12:39.420 And you know what happens the next day?

01:12:41.080 Say, hey, Andy,

01:12:41.780 what's up,

01:12:42.080 you fat motherfucker?

01:12:43.260 You know what I'm saying?

01:12:44.380 Like,

01:12:45.040 and now,

01:12:45.580 all right,

01:12:45.960 you're getting it.

01:12:46.640 Like,

01:12:46.860 this is how we do it.

01:12:47.920 So,

01:12:48.740 it's,

01:12:49.700 you know,

01:12:50.600 dude,

01:12:51.360 fuck.

01:12:51.580 No.

01:12:51.800 I will say this,

01:12:54.340 though.

01:12:55.020 The MFCEO project,

01:12:56.720 aside from the standard that was

01:12:58.740 those kind of things.

01:13:01.500 Like,

01:13:01.660 dude,

01:13:01.840 you know,

01:13:02.060 do you understand what I'm saying?

01:13:03.540 Like,

01:13:03.820 if I post something,

01:13:04.720 it got to the point where,

01:13:05.860 dude,

01:13:06.020 like,

01:13:06.440 just like I posted the other day.

01:13:08.200 Like,

01:13:08.420 if I didn't do a show,

01:13:09.760 people were like,

01:13:11.540 Andy abandoned us.

01:13:13.000 Like,

01:13:13.260 motherfucker,

01:13:13.860 it's not my obligation to fucking

01:13:15.540 hold your motherfucking hand. 0.94

01:13:17.680 Like,

01:13:17.920 you're a bitch. 1.00

01:13:19.280 Like,

01:13:19.800 take the information that you're

01:13:21.180 getting for fucking free, 0.91

01:13:22.940 go out and do some shit with it. 0.81

01:13:24.280 That's the point.

01:13:25.500 I'm not holding your fucking hand,

01:13:27.200 and I'm certainly not holding

01:13:28.260 your fucking hand for free. 0.98

01:13:30.180 That's real.

01:13:30.800 I can't afford to do it.

01:13:32.460 So,

01:13:33.260 I got,

01:13:34.220 dude,

01:13:34.640 I just got tired of that,

01:13:36.460 whether it be real or not real.

01:13:38.800 I perceived

01:13:40.100 the standard

01:13:41.820 being inch up for me,

01:13:43.740 which I wasn't comfortable with

01:13:45.020 because it's not who the fuck I am. 0.61

01:13:47.020 So,

01:13:47.520 this is different.

01:13:48.820 And this is going to be different.

01:13:49.780 Now,

01:13:50.260 the people,

01:13:50.900 dude,

01:13:51.740 I've had literally,

01:13:53.480 no bullshit,

01:13:54.540 thousands and thousands

01:13:56.060 and thousands of people

01:13:57.720 reach out and say,

01:13:58.700 thank you.

01:13:59.480 I appreciate what you guys did.

01:14:01.540 It was amazing.

01:14:02.660 I was here,

01:14:03.500 and now I'm 10 times,

01:14:05.560 I was at X,

01:14:06.340 and now I'm fucking 100X. 0.88

01:14:08.100 You know what I mean?

01:14:09.360 And,

01:14:09.580 dude,

01:14:10.120 that shit was worth it,

01:14:11.340 and that's why it's there,

01:14:12.400 and that's what it's supposed

01:14:13.240 to be used for.

01:14:14.440 But this is not that,

01:14:16.600 and it ain't ever going to be.

01:14:17.760 Right.

01:14:17.940 And,

01:14:18.820 you know,

01:14:19.980 people think,

01:14:20.740 oh my God,

01:14:21.760 Andy's got no filter.

01:14:23.740 Well,

01:14:23.900 you don't even fucking know, 0.81

01:14:24.860 motherfuckers. 1.00

01:14:25.720 Is this episode one?

01:14:27.240 This is episode one.

01:14:28.140 Oh,

01:14:28.340 I didn't even know.

01:14:29.100 Welcome.

01:14:29.960 Yeah.

01:14:30.080 Yeah.

01:14:31.960 Right.

01:14:33.440 So,

01:14:34.280 let's talk about that.

01:14:35.500 You know,

01:14:35.840 I would like to say

01:14:37.640 that,

01:14:38.580 you know,

01:14:39.380 it's probably pretty obvious now

01:14:41.120 that you guys have figured out

01:14:42.460 what we're doing.

01:14:45.540 This is a new show.

01:14:46.900 Yeah.

01:14:47.760 You're going to have to go subscribe

01:14:49.140 to this show

01:14:49.940 because this new show

01:14:51.660 is actually in a completely

01:14:54.020 different category.

01:14:55.880 So,

01:14:56.720 what category are we in?

01:15:00.440 Well,

01:15:00.900 we're in a couple categories,

01:15:02.000 but the main category

01:15:02.860 is society and culture,

01:15:03.840 and the subcategory

01:15:04.720 is comedy,

01:15:05.460 and I believe

01:15:06.040 the third subcategory

01:15:07.460 is news and,

01:15:08.860 like,

01:15:10.240 current events.

01:15:10.680 Okay,

01:15:10.920 so it's going to be a blend

01:15:11.800 of all that shit.

01:15:12.320 Yeah.

01:15:12.700 Let's just say that.

01:15:13.560 Yeah.

01:15:13.880 So,

01:15:14.700 let's get this started.

01:15:18.640 You're going to go.

01:15:19.440 The show is called

01:15:20.340 Real AF

01:15:21.040 with Andy Frisella.

01:15:23.040 It will be a conversational-based show.

01:15:25.480 It will be a show

01:15:26.240 like Your Ears Just Had the Pleasure of Hearing

01:15:28.240 where we will talk

01:15:29.660 with different guests

01:15:30.620 and different topics,

01:15:32.140 and it will be more guests,

01:15:33.840 but the guests won't necessarily be

01:15:35.700 Mr. Fucking Entrepreneur.

01:15:38.400 They're going to be interesting people

01:15:39.720 who have shit to say of value

01:15:41.220 or just entertainment.

01:15:43.120 Right.

01:15:43.400 We might come on here

01:15:44.280 and we might just make jokes.

01:15:46.180 Tell stories.

01:15:46.900 We might come on here

01:15:47.760 and we might talk about

01:15:48.780 all the problems in the world.

01:15:50.000 I don't fucking know.

01:15:50.960 It's whatever we feel like talking,

01:15:52.860 but it's going to be

01:15:53.580 with interesting people

01:15:54.580 who have different perspectives,

01:15:56.120 and it's going to be cool,

01:15:57.720 and it's going to be fun,

01:15:58.560 and we're going to have a good time,

01:15:59.620 and we're going to laugh,

01:16:00.340 and we're not going to get offended,

01:16:01.320 and if you get offended,

01:16:02.060 fuck you. 0.97

01:16:02.460 Don't listen.

01:16:03.200 Turn the fucking channel.

01:16:04.440 Okay?

01:16:04.960 Yeah, I agree.

01:16:05.820 That's what we're going to do.

01:16:06.560 And I would like to say, too,

01:16:08.280 to all of you guys

01:16:09.140 who supported the MFCEO project,

01:16:11.780 you don't have to stop supporting it.

01:16:13.140 It still exists.

01:16:14.160 It's still there.

01:16:15.220 Send your friends.

01:16:15.960 Send your family.

01:16:16.620 Anybody who needs it,

01:16:18.160 it's there.

01:16:18.740 But this is not who I am.

01:16:20.780 It's not who I am anymore.

01:16:21.940 I've evolved.

01:16:22.620 I've progressed.

01:16:23.340 Vaughn has progressed.

01:16:24.340 Big changes have happened.

01:16:25.920 You know,

01:16:26.340 there's things that are changing

01:16:28.340 with us just like they change with you,

01:16:30.900 and this is a new chapter,

01:16:32.140 and I am fucking excited about it

01:16:33.840 because, dude,

01:16:34.400 I feel a sense of relief.

01:16:36.380 I feel like, okay,

01:16:37.780 like what Sal was saying.

01:16:39.300 I've come to terms with, like,

01:16:41.400 all right,

01:16:41.800 not everybody's going to like my shit.

01:16:44.300 Cool.

01:16:45.340 Cool.

01:16:46.220 I think I'm doing things okay in life,

01:16:48.440 but maybe that's just

01:16:49.180 my fucking gigantic ego talking. 0.73

01:16:51.200 Let's be real.

01:16:52.400 I think you're right, dude.

01:16:54.420 Look,

01:16:55.120 I believe

01:16:56.280 that I'm doing okay,

01:16:59.120 and

01:16:59.680 I believe I've got a good grasp

01:17:01.800 on some of the shit that's going on

01:17:03.140 and how we can fucking fix it, 0.91

01:17:04.800 and we're going to talk about

01:17:05.560 some of that stuff,

01:17:06.240 but we're also going to talk about

01:17:07.440 fucking

01:17:08.440 shit that is just

01:17:10.280 goofy or whatever,

01:17:12.080 but I would like to say

01:17:13.200 for all of you guys

01:17:14.740 who supported the MFCEO project

01:17:16.380 for the last five years

01:17:17.440 because I know there's a lot of you,

01:17:19.240 I just want to say thank you.

01:17:20.700 Like,

01:17:20.920 thank you so much

01:17:21.940 because that shit, 0.87

01:17:23.920 what we do here

01:17:24.880 is hard.

01:17:26.820 It costs a lot of money to do.

01:17:29.000 It takes a lot of time to do.

01:17:31.240 It takes a lot of effort

01:17:32.640 from a lot of people

01:17:33.500 to put these products out,

01:17:34.900 and so I appreciate

01:17:36.180 you guys supporting,

01:17:37.520 you know,

01:17:37.900 those guys who left reviews,

01:17:39.580 reviews multiple times

01:17:40.840 and recommended their friends

01:17:42.880 and pay the fee.

01:17:44.100 We're going to ask those same things

01:17:45.540 for this podcast,

01:17:46.460 so if you enjoyed this podcast,

01:17:48.540 if you thought it was good,

01:17:49.760 what I want you to do

01:17:50.680 is I want you to go over

01:17:52.200 to wherever you're listening,

01:17:54.620 and I want you to type in the search

01:17:56.360 Real AF

01:17:57.460 with Andy Fursella,

01:17:59.160 and this new podcast

01:18:00.660 is going to pop up,

01:18:01.440 and then I want you to click subscribe,

01:18:03.440 and then,

01:18:04.980 what's then?

01:18:06.180 Oh,

01:18:06.680 I actually have another episode

01:18:08.360 that you can listen to right now

01:18:10.000 on that channel.

01:18:11.780 So we gave you two episodes today.

01:18:14.060 This was one.

01:18:14.900 That's number two,

01:18:15.840 and you can go subscribe

01:18:17.220 and listen right now,

01:18:18.780 and I would appreciate

01:18:19.560 if you did that.

01:18:20.600 You leave us a little review

01:18:21.600 to get us started off

01:18:22.380 on the right track

01:18:22.960 because our goal is,

01:18:24.760 obviously,

01:18:26.040 world domination.

01:18:27.480 Obviously.

01:18:27.980 That's the goal.

01:18:29.020 So,

01:18:29.480 what do you have to say, bro?

01:18:30.740 All I was going to say

01:18:31.580 is I've told a lot of people

01:18:32.400 that outside of my marriage

01:18:34.180 and the birth of my children,

01:18:35.260 one of the best things

01:18:35.940 that's ever happened to me

01:18:36.880 was the first time

01:18:38.420 I ever taught a college class,

01:18:39.520 I taught a public speaking class,

01:18:40.700 and at the end of the course,

01:18:42.860 I got a standing on ovation,

01:18:44.600 and it just felt so affirming

01:18:45.920 that what I did was of value,

01:18:47.760 and I got to tell you,

01:18:48.860 when we announced

01:18:49.820 that we were going to have

01:18:50.820 the last episode

01:18:51.520 of the MFCO project,

01:18:52.960 I didn't get as many DMs

01:18:54.160 as you did

01:18:54.800 and emails and messages,

01:18:56.680 but I got a whole lot of them,

01:18:57.900 and I got messages and DMs

01:18:59.840 and people saying,

01:19:01.360 I just want to thank you

01:19:02.160 and Andy for the way

01:19:03.960 that you helped me

01:19:04.900 build my business.

01:19:05.700 I started out broke,

01:19:06.460 and now I'm six, seven figures

01:19:08.160 because we built

01:19:08.780 this legitimate business.

01:19:10.300 I've taken the life skills

01:19:11.700 and the life lessons

01:19:12.520 that you guys taught

01:19:13.280 and it transformed my life,

01:19:14.640 and they were just like,

01:19:15.660 you got them, dude.

01:19:16.380 They were just incredibly

01:19:17.420 heartfelt and meaningful,

01:19:18.920 and it meant a lot to me,

01:19:20.480 and it's become

01:19:20.940 one of the biggest,

01:19:21.720 biggest satisfactions

01:19:23.620 of my life

01:19:24.300 to have been a part of that,

01:19:25.960 and I'm just looking forward

01:19:27.120 to continuing this

01:19:28.680 on a different,

01:19:29.600 you know,

01:19:29.900 kind of a different style,

01:19:31.000 a different format,

01:19:32.160 and I think one of the things

01:19:33.240 I was going to tell people

01:19:33.980 is that, yeah,

01:19:35.080 as you heard,

01:19:36.020 I did move five hours away,

01:19:38.240 but we feel so strongly

01:19:40.800 about putting out good content,

01:19:42.900 and we enjoy having deep conversations

01:19:45.500 that really are meaningful,

01:19:48.180 that I'm going to drive

01:19:49.260 five hours a day

01:19:50.380 or five hours at a time

01:19:51.980 on a regular basis

01:19:53.020 so that you and I

01:19:53.760 can continue to do this

01:19:54.760 and bring in people like Sal

01:19:56.100 and other exciting people

01:19:57.020 that share, you know,

01:19:59.480 our love of good conversations.

01:20:00.900 So, guys,

01:20:01.480 I'm excited.

01:20:03.540 Keep with us

01:20:04.560 because it's going to be

01:20:05.120 a fun ride.

01:20:05.880 Yeah, and look, guys,

01:20:07.260 I do want to say something, too,

01:20:09.680 at the end

01:20:10.100 before we go.

01:20:12.420 You know,

01:20:13.480 with all the effort

01:20:14.920 and expense

01:20:15.360 that goes into these things,

01:20:16.400 I'm not saying

01:20:17.100 that's just for us.

01:20:18.720 I'm saying this

01:20:19.220 for everybody

01:20:19.720 that you support.

01:20:21.040 When they post shit

01:20:21.800 on Instagram,

01:20:22.440 fucking comment. 0.89

01:20:23.400 Say something.

01:20:24.400 When they post shit

01:20:26.060 that you think is riff,

01:20:26.820 share it.

01:20:27.280 When they make a podcast

01:20:29.240 that you love,

01:20:30.360 leave a review.

01:20:31.640 Tell a friend.

01:20:32.940 That's just good shit

01:20:34.040 to do for people

01:20:34.800 because I can tell you

01:20:36.560 for sure,

01:20:37.520 people spend a lot of money

01:20:38.620 doing this

01:20:39.160 and there's a lot of people

01:20:40.100 that don't have to do this

01:20:41.200 and if we had more people

01:20:42.400 that didn't have to do this

01:20:43.920 doing it,

01:20:44.880 we'd have better information

01:20:46.040 and the way you pay

01:20:47.640 those people

01:20:48.180 is by supporting them.

01:20:49.680 So, not just us,

01:20:51.160 but other people

01:20:51.760 that you care about, too.

01:20:52.640 Be more supportive.

01:20:53.680 Be vocal.

01:20:54.060 When people chirp off,

01:20:55.680 fucking put them

01:20:56.180 in their place.

01:20:57.140 Say something.

01:20:58.320 You know,

01:20:58.600 this is kind of like

01:20:59.760 a self-regulating

01:21:00.560 little community

01:21:01.200 of realists.

01:21:02.380 You know,
