What's up guys, it's Andy Priscilla and you're listening to the show for the realist, say
00:00:20.540
goodbye to the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking
00:00:25.720
reality. Told you, you lost the bet. Nailed it. Yeah. So we have an ongoing bet at every
00:00:33.460
show if I'm going to get the intro right. Because for years and years and years, I had
00:00:36.660
the MFCEO intro and I sometimes merge those two intros in my brain. And I'm sure Joe,
00:00:42.740
since you lost the bet, you'll probably edit in the wrong intro, but it's all good.
00:00:46.840
Power of the edit. That's right. That's right. Hey, it's like, you know how like there's that
00:00:51.300
rule in restaurants, like you don't ever treat people that fuck with your food poorly.
00:00:55.720
Same thing with Joe. Joe gets anything he wants. He's going to make your voice go up.
00:01:00.180
I swear to God I didn't say that. Guys, we have a really special guest that you guys,
00:01:07.840
I know for sure are going to love. I'm going to intro in just one second. Before I get into
00:01:12.600
the show, we've got a full length show today and we don't normally do that. And I'll explain
00:01:16.660
that in just a second as to why we're doing that. I'd like to remind you that we do have
00:01:20.340
a fee for the show. And the fee is if you get something that is a value of the show,
00:01:26.040
if you get a new perspective or some new thought points, or it makes you laugh or you thought it
00:01:30.380
was, you know, entertaining, whatever you think. We run on word of mouth, a hundred percent here.
00:01:35.940
We don't run ads and we don't run ads for the show. So do your part. If we, if we do good,
00:01:41.660
treat us good. If we don't do good, tell us we suck. I'm cool with that either way.
00:01:47.420
With that being said, I got a special text message yesterday from one of my new good friends
00:01:54.400
who is coming into our community here as of late and become a fan favorite of the Real AF show.
00:02:02.900
So I'd like to say welcome to my friend, Chad Wright. What's up, brother?
00:02:06.280
Well, that means a lot to me, Andy. You know, I'm just a common human with an uncommon desire to
00:02:11.000
succeed, man. But I feel really connected to first form because, uh, you know, you guys shared
00:02:17.140
this, all of this with me. That's probably been a little less than a year ago. And dude, I've gotten
00:02:24.760
to train so many of y'all's guys out in the back country. You've got some of the best people that
00:02:32.400
listen to this show, uh, anywhere in the world, man. I mean, we have got to train some solid
00:02:39.060
individuals. Um, of course I talk about you guys everywhere I go because here's the thing, Andy,
00:02:44.860
man, you know, if we can say, if there's one good thing that's come from all the bull crap
00:02:52.240
that's been happening, it's that all the fake phony frauds are being exposed and they're becoming
00:03:01.440
irrelevant. And see, I get to hang out in these circles around these Instagram influencers. Like,
00:03:10.160
I didn't even know what freaking Instagram was two years ago, man. But I get to hang out with these
00:03:15.320
guys that, and listen to the conversations. And I say, y'all ever heard of my buddy, Andy Frisilla?
00:03:21.500
And that, you know what people say? Yeah, man, he's got some demons that he's really got to deal
00:03:25.540
with. And I'm like, I'm like, no, bud, he's real. And you're worried that people like us are going
00:03:34.020
to expose your bull crap because you realize you're becoming irrelevant. Yeah. And that's
00:03:40.120
what's happening, man. And that's why I love you guys, dude. Y'all the best in the freaking business.
00:03:45.000
Dude, I just had a conversation. I've had this conversation, I don't know, a dozen times in
00:03:51.540
the last two weeks with people who are, who are, they keep coming to me and they're, and they're
00:03:57.520
like, Hey man, why are none of your, like, why are none of these Instagram entrepreneurs talking
00:04:04.340
about what's going on in the world? Why are they still perpetuating or trying to sell their programs?
00:04:09.680
And what's happening here is that people are getting exposed and the, a lot of these guys,
00:04:14.840
they don't want to speak about things that are uncomfortable going on in the world because they're
00:04:19.180
afraid it's going to cost them money. And here's what's actually happening. It's what you said.
00:04:23.360
People are tuning out because they're exposing themselves for not caring about what's actually
00:04:27.640
happening and showing themselves that they only care about themselves and broke. These people are
00:04:33.420
making themselves irrelevant by, by trying to avoid the very thing that, that is actually happening
00:04:38.660
to them, you know? And, uh, you know, demons. Which is funny because the number one skill you need
00:04:44.200
to learn in life is having the hard conversation. That's it. You got to learn to address those
00:04:48.380
things because if you don't stand for anything, you stand for nothing. You know, what's funny
00:04:52.140
about that too, Sal, is that dude, Sal posted a video, his first viral video ever, which was
00:04:57.760
fucking amazing. Outside my, outside my porn, my, you know, that's how we got famous. Those
00:05:02.540
guys, Kim Kardashian. Oh really? Well, you know, that's how I made it. How many views on this
00:05:07.180
thing now? Uh, I don't know. 1.3 million, 1.4 million. Over a million views. All right.
00:05:13.460
Yeah. Thousands and thousands of comments. Right. And I get these people that, and they
00:05:18.360
come to me every time I say something or every time I have something to say about what's going
00:05:22.160
on, which by the way, I have the right to say anything I fucking want. That's what America
00:05:27.020
is about. And you have the right to think anything you want about it. And we've lost that
00:05:32.100
in this country. We, we are now pandering, not me, but a lot of people are now pandering
00:05:37.300
because they feel like they're going to upset the ship and people are not going to like them.
00:05:42.520
How many, uh, positive comments to negative comments did you get a thousand to one?
00:05:46.780
Easy. I mean, there, there was, you would scroll through cause I don't engage in this. I don't
00:05:51.000
care. You know, like, it's like, Hey, listen, you can come in. You call me anything you want.
00:05:53.760
I'm comfortable with who I am. I'll read that. I don't give a shit. And I would say for every 700
00:05:59.220
great comments, there was one. And even the one was neutral. Yeah. It was somebody not willing to
00:06:04.660
take accountability. Well, this, our, our current administration was inherited this problem. It's
00:06:09.160
like, well, wait a minute. You know, like one, we didn't talk about that. All that is, is somebody
00:06:12.700
who's attached their identity to, to something. I hate Trump or I hate this, right? I'm pro Biden
00:06:19.960
or I'm pro COVID vaccine, whatever. They've attached their identity to one of these things and
00:06:27.400
they're riding hard on it without the ability to detach and say, maybe I got taken advantage
00:06:33.720
of, or maybe I got fooled or maybe this happened, or maybe I wasn't told the truth. And so I can
00:06:39.320
understand where people come back to defend themselves. But the thing is, is like, you're
00:06:43.200
not being attacked. Somebody's voicing their opinion and you feel like it's attacking you.
00:06:48.040
That's right. You know? And the reason you feel like it's attacking you is because you're
00:06:51.600
hanging on to something that you probably should let go. Guilt.
00:06:54.860
Yeah. And, and it's funny because dude, I do get that a lot. I get a lot of people who
00:06:59.140
are like, um, these are big people too. These aren't the, I mean, these are, these are people
00:07:04.400
that used to have a legit presence, but they're feeling exposed right now. And so that's what
00:07:09.440
I just want to let you know. That's what they have to say about you.
00:07:11.620
What's funny about it, dude, is that, yeah, but, um, they're losing and I keep winning.
00:07:16.800
That's what I'm talking about. And it will continue. That progression will continue, man.
00:07:22.080
Right. And that's why I freaking love you guys, man. And that's why, you know, last
00:07:25.780
time we did this show, Andy told me and Sal both told me, Hey man, next time you're coming
00:07:29.960
back through, you got to open invitation. So I thought, you know what, man, people right
00:07:34.220
now, I'm sure you guys get more messages than me, but I'm getting messages and people are
00:07:40.440
losing hope. They're legitimately losing hope. And if there's one thing that I freaking care
00:07:46.500
about, man, it's people, it's my brothers and my sisters. Yes. I'm concerned about everything
00:07:52.360
that's going on, but I thought, man, we need to sit down and have a conversation that will
00:07:58.180
hopefully give people some hope because no living without hope is no way to live. And
00:08:06.440
it's, it concerns me and it grieves me. And I thought, man, what better way than to sit
00:08:12.560
down with some freaking pipe hitters, man, and give some people some hope. So that's
00:08:18.420
Yeah. Well, I'm glad you reached out, dude, because I meant that open invitation. I text
00:08:22.940
Sal yesterday, screenshot your text. I said, noon tomorrow. He's like, let's rock. Let's
00:08:30.580
No, listen, man, we, there's, they're very, I don't want to say.
00:08:32.580
Well, Mondays are our days to, to like, we do basically both of us have everything's going
00:08:38.760
on from literally first thing in the morning until we go to bed on Mondays.
00:08:43.360
Yeah. And then the rest of the week is more towards growth and development. Monday's more
00:08:47.400
towards maintaining what's going on. So like, we don't usually podcast on a Monday, but like
00:08:54.900
That's right. You sit down and break bread. No, but I think, you know, I told Andrew this
00:08:59.140
yesterday, you know, to return the, uh, you know, the circle jerk here, if you want the
00:09:04.100
bro, this is a big group hug. Yeah. This is a big group hug. No, I, I, there are, we've,
00:09:08.660
we've had the opportunity to meet a lot of cool people in life. Right. And I told him,
00:09:12.860
I said, I think Chad might be the best one we've met. I know this. I know that dad is
00:09:17.180
Chad writes. Number one. I mean, he came in today. He's like, you know, Chad writes here,
00:09:20.980
you know, like I'm aware, bro. I got, I beat, I've never seen my dad fan out on a human
00:09:27.820
ever. And he brings you up at least twice a week to me. And he listens to the episode
00:09:33.960
that we did over and over and over again. And he'll come to me and he's like, man, you
00:09:39.500
know, guys like Chad, right. And he always throws in, uh, uh, James Lawrence. He loves
00:09:44.400
James. Yep. And he's like, those kinds of guys don't, that's what America is. America
00:09:49.440
is regular dudes who care about other people. Like he will go into this. My point is he
00:09:54.440
fucking loves you, bro. You know what else it is, man? Jim is Jim, right? Yeah. So Jim,
00:09:59.980
I, I, he, I saw him this morning and he said, he said, man, I'm getting after it.
00:10:03.960
I'm running again and I'm utilizing these tools that we talked about on the last podcast.
00:10:09.540
And, and here's the thing, man, we, us, we don't teach from theory. We're not going to
00:10:17.500
tell you anything on this show. We are not freaking philosophers here, dude. So we're not going to
00:10:23.400
tell you anything on this show that has not been proven on the battlefield of life. And
00:10:30.240
all Jim has done is he's taken these simple principles and he's applied them in his life
00:10:37.320
and he sees the result. See, and we're not trying to give you a freaking philosophy here, man.
00:10:43.700
Anybody can take what we say and apply it. And it's going to change their life in the direction
00:10:49.780
of their life. The problem is, Chad, I think a lot of people aren't willing to do that. And so when
00:10:53.900
they see people that are successful like that, they call them outliers or they say they're lucky
00:10:57.200
or something like that. But these are laws. I mean, that's it. When, when you put them
00:11:01.960
into practice, things change. Dude, the thing is, man, you guys got to remember, dude, a lot
00:11:09.120
of the people growing up, they, they've got zero leadership in their life. Zero. A lot of
00:11:13.980
people grow up in a scenario where they feel like they're a nuisance, you know, like they're
00:11:19.000
not even wanted. They're not told they could be anything great. They're, they're not, they
00:11:23.900
don't know anybody great. They don't know anybody who's successful. They don't know anybody who's
00:11:28.440
accomplished amazing things. And it's very hard to see that in yourself. If you don't know a single
00:11:35.700
other person, right. And that's where the lack of hope comes in is that when you can't literally
00:11:42.240
see something or have a conversation. And then on top of that, when you do, it's so rare to see
00:11:48.280
that you feel like it is some sort of crazy magical thing that you don't possess inside.
00:11:55.300
And, and this is the thing that I love about what you speak about. Uh, and honestly, this is why I
00:12:01.380
started the MSCO project 2015 because dude, every single successful guy I know, which there's a bunch
00:12:09.620
of them, you know, uh, they're all normal. They got normal dude. They fucking struggle, man.
00:12:16.840
It's hard. Like it's just, they have, they have bought into the idea that they don't require some
00:12:23.900
sort of special superpower. And what ends up happening is because you don't quit, you end up
00:12:30.260
developing some superpowers. That's it, man. Yeah. That's the foundation of everything. We talked
00:12:34.860
about it last time, taking quitting off the table principles like being patient, being present,
00:12:39.740
being deliberate. I just won a race a few months ago. I ran for 38 hours straight, 122.1 miles. I
00:12:46.200
climbed 37,700 feet up. So that's like 7,000 more than Everest and descended 37,700 feet. You
00:12:54.920
want to know how I did it? I was patient. I was present. I was deliberate and I wasn't going to
00:13:00.980
quit. And I freaking crushed everybody. Yeah. Well, I have totally hijacked, removed quitting
00:13:08.100
off the table. Just so you know, you were saying, it's not my saying. I just, I just sit on it.
00:13:11.960
Oh, that's it, man. Well, it's all the same. It's different ways of saying it. I say like
00:13:16.580
zero option mentality. Yeah. It's not an option. No plan B. Like we have to get there and whatever
00:13:21.640
it takes, we've got to get there. Well, and I think that when I, I, this weekend I had an
00:13:25.600
opportunity to speak to a little group of individuals and I used, you know, remove quitting
00:13:29.100
from the table. That thing that we're, you know, people look for that fear, that doubt, that
00:13:35.000
scared feeling that you have to not go forward. We all, everybody fucking has that. It's whether
00:13:41.620
you fucking face it and start taking some action and apply that knowledge towards those fears
00:13:46.380
and those goals and those dreams. That's the separator. And you're not alone. Like, fuck
00:13:50.880
man. Like, you know how scary it is to get on the microphone for the very first time and
00:13:58.180
Listen, man, listen, I, this is the truth, you know, and it's funny because I don't put
00:14:07.880
on a show. Like, I'm not like the reason people say that shit, Chad, it's because I don't put
00:14:13.200
I don't know, brother. You're preaching to the choir right now.
00:14:15.120
When I pick up that phone and I start talking and I'm, and you guys think I'm mad, it's
00:14:18.960
because I am mad or I don't, I'm not worried about putting a polished image out for all of
00:14:23.400
you guys to see. I use my social like a regular human would use their social. I'm not,
00:14:27.660
I don't see it as a brand. I don't worry about my brand and my brand takes care of myself by
00:14:32.600
just me being me. And, and so people think, oh, well, he's going crazy, you know, or he's
00:14:38.840
whatever. It's like, no, dude, I'm just like you. I'm just out of, I'm not scared enough to,
00:14:44.380
to keep it in. You know what I'm saying? And the reason I do that guys is so that you
00:14:49.060
understand there is not a day that I get out of bed. There is not a fucking day that I, that I wake
00:14:55.980
up and I, and a lot of people are going to judge me for saying this, but there is not a day that
00:15:00.720
I wake up that I don't feel like going back to sleep or that I don't, that I don't have anxiety
00:15:05.960
about what my day is going to bring every single day of my entire life right now. And for the last,
00:15:12.140
I don't know how many years, as long as I can remember back, I wake up and I'm nervous and I'm
00:15:17.120
scared and I'm like, fuck. All right. Yeah. What do I got to handle today? And you know what I do?
00:15:21.280
I wake up and I go handle it. No, no. You know what you do? You freaking execute, man. That's
00:15:26.980
it. I tell dude in the seal teams, I was a breacher. All right. And when we would get a
00:15:32.380
target package, I'd gather intel on the breach point, say it's an exterior wall. I would build
00:15:37.940
a bomb. I would go back into the ready room, build a bomb specifically to breach this wall.
00:15:43.500
We would go out, we would get on target. I'd be the first one in the patrol, right?
00:15:47.740
I'd move up to the breach point. I'd peel the hydrogel off the back of this wall charge.
00:15:53.740
It's the sticky stuff, right? I'd place the bomb on the wall. I'd cap my blasting cap in.
00:15:59.140
You know, I'd pay my debt cord out back to minimum safe distance. And I would look back behind me
00:16:04.260
and I would just see a bunch of sets of green eyes, right? It was my entire team was waiting
00:16:10.720
for three words. And these three words ring through my head every single morning when I get up feeling
00:16:19.180
exactly like Andy feels when he gets up. And the three words are execute, execute, execute.
00:16:26.840
And on the third execute, I would put power to that charge and all freaking hell would break loose
00:16:32.640
and we would crush our enemy. And that's what people don't do. They don't execute.
00:16:38.320
Making a freaking plan is the easy part. I knew how to make the bomb. I had the intel
00:16:43.540
that I needed to get into this target and accomplish my mission. But guess what? I had to wait for those
00:16:49.920
three words. And let me tell you, those three words ring through my head on the daily, man,
00:16:56.320
because I've heard them thousands of times over my comms headset, right? Knowing my entire team
00:17:02.280
was waiting for me to simply execute, execute, execute. And you have to understand if you don't
00:17:09.020
execute on the plan, if you don't get up in the morning when you're feeling tired, scared,
00:17:13.540
you don't know what's going to happen. If you don't execute, you're not just cheating yourself,
00:17:17.240
dude. You're cheating your family. You're cheating your employees. You're cheating your team,
00:17:22.920
whatever you're a part of. It's bigger than you, man. So that's what rings through my head every
00:17:28.980
morning, brother. And you guys are freaking right on board with that, man.
00:17:32.220
Yeah, dude. And, but we have to, you guys listening, like you have to understand that,
00:17:38.260
that learning how to do that when you don't want to, nobody wants to do it. Like that's the thing.
00:17:47.160
Like nobody wants to do it. Like I, listen, dude, do you really think I want to wake up and I live in
00:17:54.620
a fucking beautiful house and I have an awesome life? Yeah. You need to let me come kill some of
00:17:59.740
those deer too. Emily would probably allow you to do that, but, but everybody else. No, fuck off.
00:18:09.540
Yeah. But like, dude, the, the thing is, is that the, the, the people listening, I mean,
00:18:15.700
you guys have to understand this is, this is human. This is a human thing. And when you look at
00:18:23.360
someone and you say that man or that woman has something that I don't have, you're telling
00:18:29.180
yourself a justification as to why you can't do it. You're talking yourself out of it. And what you
00:18:35.140
need to realize is that they didn't have that ability either. They didn't just, nobody woke up
00:18:41.500
with that shit. They got it from showing up every day and executing over and over and over. And
00:18:48.160
especially when they don't feel like it. And a lot of people listening right now, they're probably,
00:18:52.120
like, well, I never feel like going to work. Okay. Fair enough. You get up every day. You don't
00:18:56.340
feel like going to work. You think you're giving yourself, okay, this credit. All right. What do
00:19:01.880
you do when you're at work? How well do you execute? What are you actually a contributing
00:19:07.700
member to the team? Or are you just taking up space? Because there's more to it than just showing up.
00:19:12.800
It's showing up and then diligently being good at what you do. Okay. So like a lot of people talk
00:19:20.420
about motivation or they talk about discipline. No one talks about diligence, right? Diligence is
00:19:26.620
showing up and executing at a high level. And that's the third part of the equation. We move
00:19:33.080
from motivation, which is, you know, we kind of do shit when we feel like it or when we don't feel
00:19:37.680
like it to discipline, which is, you know, I do the things that I, that I need to do even when I
00:19:44.480
don't feel like doing them. All right. Because my discipline is strong. And then we move into
00:19:48.680
diligence, which diligence is, I do what I don't feel like doing very fucking well all the time.
00:19:55.360
And this is the three parts of achievement that you have to move through as a human. All right. So
00:20:01.180
we talk a lot about discipline here, but that's because a lot of you guys ain't ready for diligence
00:20:05.920
yet. You know what I'm saying? But think about that. Think about that. Okay. You get up every day.
00:20:11.060
You don't like your job. You're going against the grain. You got a lot of work to do. Are you going
00:20:15.880
through the motions? Because that is better than the guy that doesn't show up, but it's still not
00:20:20.840
going to get you to where you want to go. So, and that's, you know, those are some things to think
00:20:26.280
about when you're, when you're sitting there wondering why things are so hard. First of all,
00:20:30.360
it's hard for all of us, man. Like just because somebody lives in a nice house or has a nice
00:20:35.180
business, I would actually argue that their life is really fucking hard because usually they're,
00:20:40.380
at least for me, I wasn't gifted anything. So Sal and I and Chris and Jason and the guys
00:20:46.780
here that, that run this company, it's a 24 hour job, dude. Like, it's not like there's
00:20:52.900
free time. I mean, you make the free time you have, Sal, you make like you, that he has
00:20:57.960
to schedule it. You know what I'm saying? It's not like there's just this float, you know,
00:21:04.620
Yeah. Yeah. I know. I'm executing on that shit.
00:21:13.580
You know what, man? It, it, it amazes me the information that flows through this show,
00:21:20.040
man. Do you realize what a corporate team would pay for this? This is a hundred thousand
00:21:26.060
dollars speech right here, man. It's funny. It's funny. This is a hundred thousand dollars
00:21:29.960
speech. Preach, Mr. Chad. It's unbelievable, man. Thank you. Sal and I may or may not be
00:21:35.440
putting something together. Yeah. This is it. There, there are, there are no, we're not giving
00:21:40.100
you any secrets because this isn't, none of this is secret. There's, there's no way you,
00:21:45.100
you can't cheat the process, right? But this is it. What you just talked about, Andy,
00:21:51.000
that progression between motivation, discipline, diligence, execute, execute, execute. That's
00:21:58.340
it, man. That really is it. And I think on, so it's funny, even before you started talking,
00:22:03.240
you know, everybody thinks it's massive action, but it's small bites. And the reason I wrote that
00:22:06.740
is because, you know, just like your race in 38 hours, right? 38 hours. Yeah. 38 hours. One foot
00:22:12.300
in front of the other. You know what I mean? It's not how fast your miles were. It's consistently
00:22:16.900
putting one foot in front of the other in life and success. I think the one observation I have
00:22:20.740
of all successful people is not only are they very extremely disciplined, they show up every
00:22:25.340
motherfucking day with consistency, with effort, with intention to execute that game plan every
00:22:30.720
day. Like it's no, no days off. I just fucking show up. I mean, I'm Saturday, Sunday, you guys
00:22:35.340
walk in this fucking building. My fucking fat ass is sitting in the office. I still have shit to do.
00:22:39.360
Who? We haven't, I've been here every single day since it's open. Yeah. Every single day that I
00:22:45.500
wasn't out of town, including Christmas day. I was here both here Christmas day. You know what I mean?
00:22:49.320
And it's like, and it's not, I don't say that. By the way, I love it. Yeah. It's not pat on the
00:22:52.900
back. It's like a shit to do. Yeah. And it's, you know, and it's an important process is it's not
00:22:56.600
massive action to do, but there are things that need to get done every day. You know what, dude,
00:23:00.480
I like the way we do shit. Like I like the days that we come in here on Christmas or Thanksgiving
00:23:04.540
or this, and we'll see half the team in here. That's right. And we get to spend time. Those are our
00:23:08.180
family, dude. Like it, to me, I wouldn't have it any other way. You know, I know that sounds like
00:23:13.880
crazy to some people, but like for me, I love that. No, yeah, it's awesome. So chat, go ahead.
00:23:19.860
Yeah. I want to ask a question to you guys. Um, so you guys talk about like, you know,
00:23:24.120
would you rather lose a dollar or a thousand dollars? Not that question. No, I ain't got
00:23:28.540
the 500 on me. No, but we talk about, you know, like most people don't know one truly successful
00:23:35.540
person around them. So what would you, how would you guys answer like to that person? How do I find
00:23:40.820
that person? Like how do I, so Sam, so I'll give you how my dad did it. So, so my dad,
00:23:45.940
when he ran in business, you know, everybody thought he was ultra, ultra successful. He was
00:23:51.060
moderately successful, man. He ran a nice business. He made a nice income and then he sold his business
00:23:56.460
and then he lost what he had sold it for and had to start over. And my dad always spoke highly of
00:24:05.340
other men and women that were more successful than him. So when Sal and I were young,
00:24:10.500
and we would go somewhere and we would meet like, let's say, um, you know, uh, a real estate
00:24:17.100
developer or somebody who'd done something really big. My dad, he always did this. And I can remember,
00:24:21.880
you probably remember this too. He would point at the guy's car. He would show us his car.
00:24:25.780
This is probably where the car thing comes from. And he'd be like, man, look, that guy's got a Bentley.
00:24:29.580
You know what he does? He works really fucking hard. He did this, this, this, this, this. And he'd tell us
00:24:34.120
the story behind this person's success. And it would always be positive. It was always,
00:24:38.400
it was never like, Oh yeah, he's very wealthy, but he, but he cheated or something like it was
00:24:45.940
never like that. It was always, he positively reinforced success into our brains by doing
00:24:52.080
that. And, and, you know, to do that, by the way, um, you have to squash a lot of your ego
00:24:57.040
because like, dude, nobody likes to look at someone and say, yeah, see to your own sons. Think about
00:25:01.800
that to your own sons and say, Hey, that guy, he's done a lot more than me and he's killing it.
00:25:08.060
And you should try to be like that. Like that takes a squashing of an ego. And really, if we're
00:25:13.640
talking about all this, you know, all of what's going on in the world, it's all, it's all attributed
00:25:19.020
to ego right now. Okay. It really is. Um, we can get into that in a minute, but the point is, is that
00:25:25.480
I think for parents that have children, I think the first thing that you can do, um, besides buy
00:25:31.040
my children's book, shameless plug. All right. Um, but seriously, uh, the books do help with that
00:25:37.640
because that was the point of them to give you the tools to teach your children. But the thing
00:25:41.920
that you could do is to make sure that you're highlighting other people that are successful
00:25:46.260
and reinforcing the good and the work and the things that they did, you know? And the good thing
00:25:51.320
is to DJ that's super important. Oh, absolutely, bro. Because, because that's how they're going
00:25:56.300
to think about money for the rest of their life. Right. They're either going to see it as you had
00:25:59.660
to cheat to get it, or, uh, you had to do wrong to get it, or you had to do, uh, shady things to get
00:26:06.700
it, or you worked hard to get it and you did honorable things. And so, you know, selecting people
00:26:12.500
who, uh, represent that is easier to do than ever because we have the internet. All right. Like when
00:26:19.060
Sal and I grew up, like there was no there, listen, I know this is hard to understand.
00:26:23.420
There was no internet. Like, yeah, there was no, there was a phone on the wall that had a little
00:26:30.480
circle on it. And like you, you know, like I can't even explain it to people. Have you ever seen a
00:26:35.960
video of them trying to teach a kid or show a kid how to use a phone? No. It's hilarious. No,
00:26:39.580
but like, you remember grandma's head? Of course. The pink phone on the wall. But there's an important
00:26:43.120
piece though, to dad's story there, because he always said you could do that too. Yeah. Always. You
00:26:46.760
could do that too. You could do that no matter what you could do that. If you work hard,
00:26:50.260
you could get, you could have that too. If you work hard. And that's, that was like, dude,
00:26:53.960
I can remember him driving us through neighborhoods of nice houses and pointing at the nice houses and
00:26:58.620
say, okay, that's a, that's a $500,000 house. You got to make a hundred thousand dollars a year to
00:27:04.140
afford that house. And every time he pointed something out, he taught us what it took to get it.
00:27:09.700
And that was something that honestly, I think made all the difference in the world for him and I,
00:27:14.940
um, and, and dude, you know, without the internet, it was hard to do, right? Like you had to get in
00:27:21.620
your car and go and like meet people and see this and do, we were very fortunate to have that. Yeah.
00:27:27.140
But, uh, you know, now we have the internet where you can choose people to look at or examine. And,
00:27:36.300
you know, you have to be very careful about who you pick. Cause as we were talking about earlier,
00:27:39.880
a lot of people are putting on a show, right? And, and the best thing about what's going on
00:27:44.760
in the turmoil. And I agree with you, Chad, uh, the, the two good things that are happening right
00:27:49.800
now is one, the fucking people that only care about themselves are being completely exposed even.
00:27:55.620
And by the way, these are not like ultra patriotic people that are messaging me. These are normal
00:28:00.220
people who are saying, man, how come so-and-so isn't speaking out? How come this person isn't saying
00:28:05.840
anything? Why are they so quiet? And those people don't understand that those conversations are
00:28:11.200
happening behind the scenes and it's diminishing them in these people's eyes. And they're going
00:28:16.280
to learn a hard lesson, just like the companies that enforce vaccine mandates where 80% of the
00:28:21.100
people are against that, uh, being forced in to go to a restaurant or whatever. You guys will be
00:28:26.280
remembered for the rest of your life as the fucking Nazi people. That's it. All right. So we,
00:28:32.340
the good things that have happened is one, the truth has come out and it's coming out more and
00:28:36.320
more every day to relationships like this have started to form. Okay. We've, my circle is never
00:28:43.520
been stronger. My friends, I've never been more proud of the friends that I have, the people who
00:28:48.440
have gotten close that have gotten closer to this year, um, are much better friends to me than the
00:28:54.960
friends I had two years ago. It's a fact. And so we're starting to realign with people who truly
00:29:00.700
believe in what we believe in align with what we align, which is a great place to be. Now it's
00:29:06.820
important to say to that, you don't want everybody thinking the same thing that you think you don't
00:29:11.180
want ever. This is not to say that everybody has to agree with everything that you know, you say
00:29:16.220
it's your perspective. That's right. And healthy discussion is healthy for relationships. You know,
00:29:22.320
some of the best relationships that I've ever had in my life. I hated those people when I first met
00:29:28.420
him for real, dude, my business partner, Chris, when I first met him, I fucking hated him.
00:29:33.740
He didn't like me either. You know why? Cause we played the same fucking sport, the same positions
00:29:38.960
and we were both pretty good and we were, and he was better, but we competed. And so like, dude,
00:29:44.720
but eventually through that competition, a bond form that is not breakable. It's not breakable.
00:29:50.900
You know what I'm saying? And that comes from competition or disagreement. You know, some of the
00:29:55.880
best relationships I've had have been where I like, dude, literally DJ knows this. Cause we get
00:30:01.240
people all the time who, you know, they'll, they'll message in and they'll say, Hey, Andy, you know,
00:30:06.240
I don't agree with this and this and this. Yeah. And, and, and so I'll voice them back. Right. And I'll
00:30:12.960
say, okay, well, I, I, I could appreciate that. You know, here's where I'm coming from. And we end up
00:30:17.180
having a two or three minute back and forth discussion. And those people end up being the biggest
00:30:21.520
supporters I fucking have. Yeah. That's it, brother. Yeah. And we don't agree. We don't
00:30:25.840
have to agree, but we, we do have to agree on his basic fundamental issues here in this country,
00:30:31.260
like freedom. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So surround, so surround yourself with people
00:30:37.500
that you think can beat you. That's what that young man right there is all about. Chili. Chili. I met
00:30:43.820
Chili. He beat me by two hours at a hundred mile race that I was there to win. And I said,
00:30:49.360
I want this dude in my inner circle because guess what? He might beat me and we do team PT every
00:30:56.520
Wednesday. Right. And he's there and we go head to head and we're the only ones that can hang with
00:31:01.380
each other, but you have to do that. See my job, what I do to my opponents is I try to convince
00:31:09.100
them that they can no longer win that last race. I did, it got down to me and one other guy. His name
00:31:15.820
was Luke and Luke looked over at me and he said, Chad, it's just me and you. What do you want to do
00:31:21.320
about this? And I said, Luke, I'm going to be quite honest with you, brother. We can stay out here and
00:31:26.100
run for as long as you want. But the fact of the matter is I am not going to lose this race. And in
00:31:34.160
that moment, I crushed his freaking soul, man. I convinced him that he could not beat me. I can't
00:31:41.840
convince him that he can't beat me. You can't convince me that I can't beat you. I'm coming
00:31:49.160
for you, son. And you know what? I'm coming for you. But guess what that's going to do?
00:31:53.880
Make me better. It's going to make you better than you could ever have been. If it wasn't for
00:31:59.520
an old boy from Northwest Georgia coming for you. My objective is to take over the freaking world,
00:32:04.920
man, under the banner of Christ, of course. But hey, I'm coming. Yeah. And that's how we get better
00:32:10.940
surrounding ourselves with people like that, man. Dude, and that's what the great thing about
00:32:15.000
competition, too. People shy away from competition, right? Like everybody like this is the dude. The
00:32:19.940
whole reason I started the MFCEO project is because I realized with the participation trophy
00:32:26.280
culture that we had a real problem brewing, by the way. It's very evident. I was fucking right.
00:32:31.940
So it pays to be a winner, son. It pays to be a winner. So I started that podcast with that in mind,
00:32:37.860
you know, about, listen, guys, we have to embrace competition. Dude, some of the competitors to our
00:32:44.060
business are some of my best fucking friends. Do I want to beat them? Yeah, I do. But I also want
00:32:49.880
to show them how to win so that I can have someone to push me along. You know what I mean? Dude, him
00:32:55.740
and I compete without saying it all the time. Like, dude, I get up in the fucking meeting eight weeks
00:33:01.420
ago. Will, our guy, Will, who is a badass, by the way, uh, you'll like this. I, you probably know
00:33:07.460
this. I think we might've told you he decides after, uh, you come in here, he's like, I'm gonna
00:33:11.960
run a hundred miles a day. Yeah. He went out and ran it. No music. No. And he ran loops around our
00:33:17.100
building. That's it. And dude, no music, no iTunes, no fucking anything. He went out and ran a hundred
00:33:24.660
miles in one day. That's legit. Yeah, bro. I'm going to have him on the show to talk about it too.
00:33:28.740
But the point is, is that dude, Will was giving a speech at our, at our, at our Monday meeting
00:33:35.860
and you know, it's Monday morning. Everybody's kind of, you know, I don't know what it was
00:33:41.060
that day, but I think everybody went out drinking or something the night before, but it, it just
00:33:45.280
wasn't going well. And Will's a great speaker. All right. True or not true. I was out of town.
00:33:50.440
I was watching on Zoom. It's definitely true. Yeah. So Will, Will was kind of like, you know,
00:33:54.480
kind of smoke, stinking up the room a little bit. And so dude, I'm like, I got to do something.
00:34:00.240
I'm like, so Will, I know you're listening to this, bro. I had to pick you up, dude.
00:34:03.860
So I just get up and I look at it. He's talking about the trend. So we have this eight week
00:34:07.520
transformation contest and like, dude, these dudes are all half my age, bro. You know what
00:34:12.240
I'm saying? They're all literally. Yeah. And yeah. Which is fucked up. It's weird how that
00:34:17.040
actually happens to you. Yeah. Uh, but I stand up and I'm like, uh, like I could tell, like
00:34:23.420
everybody's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to get, do the transformation. I stood up. I'm
00:34:27.480
like, Hey, you motherfuckers, I will beat every one of your motherfucking asses. And I was serious,
00:34:32.840
dude. Like they started laughing. They started laughing. And I said, you think I'm fucking joking?
00:34:37.740
I'm fucking serious. And not, and I've, I made a bet with the whole company. I said, Hey,
00:34:42.220
any of you to beat me in the next eight weeks for a body transformation, I'll give you a thousand
00:34:46.780
bucks. 123 people signed up for the list. I got a list here in my phone that says Andy's ass kicking
00:34:52.720
list. All right. And every one of those motherfuckers is on it. And guess what? I'm the best shape I've
00:34:58.900
ever been in my life. I'm 42 years old. I'm the best shape I've ever been in my life because I
00:35:04.240
challenged those people and they've been in here every day. There's, there's a hand, most of them
00:35:08.640
already quit. All right. Let's be real. There's a handful out here that are still hanging in,
00:35:13.400
working their asses off. And I see them in there and I'm like, fuck, I can get back to work.
00:35:17.560
And that has made me, Sal, have I ever been in this kind of shape or even close to it?
00:35:23.240
And then thing is, is that drive that they're giving it to you. It's like, it's forcing you
00:35:26.760
to get better. Like, dude, I have the beauty of fucking competing. It's also the beauty of being
00:35:32.100
able to check your ego and compete. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Because that's a good
00:35:35.860
point, dude, to even get in the competition. You have to do for a long time. See, I try to stay
00:35:40.340
away from competition here in the office because I am a competitor, dude. And like, I'm not friendly
00:35:45.660
about it. You know what I'm saying? Like if we're in the middle of DJ. Yeah. No, like I'm in a
00:35:52.160
basketball tournament. Oh yeah. Look, dude, if we're going to go against each other, I'm here to
00:35:57.040
fucking win, dude. I'm out there with you, brother. Yeah. And afterwards we can be friends,
00:36:00.880
but I am here to crush you. And so I try to stay out of competition here because like
00:36:06.300
I get heated, dude. And, uh, but so I was venturing into waters. I haven't been in in a
00:36:13.700
while when I did that and I walked out of the meeting. I'm like, fuck dude. I wonder how
00:36:17.760
many people I'm going to have to fucking fire. Cause I knew I was going to get pissed, but
00:36:24.080
the truth is I've done everything I could. I've ate every meal. Perfect. I've trained every
00:36:29.140
training session as hard as I could. And you know what? If someone beats me, they
00:36:32.700
fucking earned it and I can deal with that. Hey, yeah. You know what I'm saying? But
00:36:35.840
it ain't happening. Yeah. And to be clear, the be friends thing and not right afterwards,
00:36:41.700
the be friends thing is like a couple of days. Yeah. You got to reestablish it. Yeah. Like
00:36:44.140
I got to fuck you for a while. Yeah. Dude, you talk about how he's going to dominate. I'm
00:36:47.800
sitting there. Well, you better pack your motherfucking lunch. Dude, what interests me
00:36:54.220
about that story is you incentivized your team members with this $1,000. Yeah. They
00:36:59.700
didn't need it. What they don't understand is what they're getting out of this is much
00:37:04.300
more valuable than the $1,000 could ever be. The growth, the best gift that we can give
00:37:10.860
one another is the best of ourselves against one another on the field of battle, man, in
00:37:18.420
competition. Yeah. That's it, brother. Dude, I love that, man. I've never even thought of it
00:37:23.100
that way. That is exactly the truth. Yep. We all, what is it? What is it? So quit
00:37:27.360
shying away from that crap, Andy. I know. I got to start. Come on, man. I got to start
00:37:30.580
reminding. Listen, dude, I can't demoralize everybody all the time, man. I got to keep
00:37:34.340
the culture good here. Oh, don't worry. Somebody's going to come along to humble
00:37:38.060
you, brother. Hey, don't you worry. I've been at this for a few years now. They still
00:37:47.040
So, hey, listen, I do want to, I do want to change gears because we were on such a, before
00:37:51.440
we turn the show on, Chad showed up yesterday or text Andrew yesterday, sent us a text. We're
00:37:58.300
going to do the show. And they were coming in from the West and they were coming in from
00:38:01.580
Laramie, Wyoming. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you guys made a 14 hour ride through and you're
00:38:06.080
getting ready to tell us about some camping exhibition and how you, you might have earned
00:38:10.240
$500 or something from some guy that is in a campsite. Look, brother, my look.
00:38:16.920
That's what Chili's for. That's the other thing Chili does.
00:38:20.600
I can't wait to hear this story. I was like, we got to talk about this.
00:38:22.960
Look, man, me and Chili's long hair can't cover up our rednecks, man.
00:38:27.680
We do have a Suburban. My Suburban's still clicking, man. So we're rolling out through Missouri
00:38:33.820
in our Suburban and the way me and Chili travel, we only own four days worth of clothes, right?
00:38:40.360
We've been gone for two weeks. I mean, we smell like mashed up butthole. I'm so thankful for
00:38:44.820
this clean shirt right now. All right. But the way we roll is we just look for little signs
00:38:50.680
on the side of the interstate that says like conservation area. And so, and we'll just pull
00:38:56.680
up in the woods, man. And we'll just pitch a tent right out there by the car, right? So we
00:39:01.960
do that here in Missouri. Look, man, this is a weird place. We're back in the cut, man.
00:39:09.560
Everybody from Missouri is shaking their head. Yes.
00:39:13.920
That's mile marker 130. You see that movie, Something About Mary, you know?
00:39:19.020
We pull into this place, man, and we get pretty deep, right? We're back way back in the woods.
00:39:25.060
This thing's like three or 4,000 acres. And so we pitch our tents up, right? And we're getting
00:39:30.600
ready for bed. And I holler at my man, Chili. See, he got a weapon issued at the beginning
00:39:35.100
of this mission. And I said, Chili, you got your duty weapon? He said, no, man, it's in
00:39:39.700
the car. I said, well, Chili, what is that? Is that weapon going to do you any good in
00:39:45.060
a locked car tonight if you wake up and there's a freaking weirdo standing here in our camp?
00:39:51.160
And he said, well, no. And he gets, he's sleeping on a freaking Vietnam air cot. Literally, he folds
00:39:57.440
this cot out and it disintegrates a little more and more every time he folds it out. Open air.
00:40:03.400
Okay. So he gets up, gets his weapon, gets back and no more than he gets in his cot. He says,
00:40:09.160
well, daggone, here comes somebody. And dude, we're deep. Like ain't nobody got no business back
00:40:14.800
here where we're at. This is our yard, dude. We did that on purpose. And so here comes this
00:40:19.680
cat, man. He eases by our campsite. He's in a little hatchback Mazda and he drops down off
00:40:26.200
this big embankment. And, um, we're like, well, daggone, that was weird. And, uh, I started
00:40:32.120
looking at the map. I'm like, well, there's nowhere this guy can go. He can't get it, go
00:40:36.480
out that way. So I said, Chili, we're not going to bed until this guy gets out of here. We're
00:40:41.620
sitting there for about 10 minutes and we see his headlights coming up through the woods.
00:40:45.460
Right. And we think, all right, he's going to ride on by. This is like three in the morning,
00:40:49.300
man. And, uh, he gets probably a hundred meters from our campsite in the woods, cuts his car
00:40:55.120
off, cuts his headlights off and just sits there. And I'm like, it's about to go down.
00:41:03.060
Dude, I've all, I have always wanted a, a kill on a, a, a,
00:41:11.600
a good kill on American soil. I mean, legal, a legal shoot. And I thought this was going
00:41:16.120
to be it right here, son. So the moon is shining. It's a full moon. Right. And so I go into Navy
00:41:23.240
seal mode, dude. I got my duty weapon, Chili arms up. Chili ain't got many arms, but
00:41:28.840
and, uh, and so we ease up into the shadows, man. And, and we got weapons out. We're waiting
00:41:36.220
on this dude to get out of his vehicle and just kind of ease around into our campsite.
00:41:41.040
And we were going to confront him. Well, we sit and sit and sit. Nothing happens. This
00:41:44.760
dude's just sitting in his freaking car looking at us. And, uh, I tell Chili, I'm like, dude,
00:41:49.760
we got two options here. We can either go confront this dude or I'll hold security while you pack
00:41:55.460
camp up. We'll get in the rig and we'll roll out. And he said, well, Chad, I don't think we
00:42:01.280
should confront this dude because Chili knows Chili knows how I get, man. I get freaking, I get
00:42:08.140
sideways real quick. And, uh, he made the right decision. We, I hold security. He packs
00:42:13.980
up, we get in the rig. We turn out to go out of this place. I intentionally turn and shine
00:42:18.400
my lights. This dude is literally still just sitting upright in his vehicle, staring at
00:42:24.160
us. Have no clue. I assume he was waiting for us to go to sleep, not knowing who we were
00:42:30.900
obviously. Waiting for us to go to sleep so he could come in and freaking murder us or rob us.
00:42:36.580
And, um, we ended up getting out there, dude. And, uh, we hauled balls all the way to freaking
00:42:41.020
Kansas city, past Kansas city, I think. And, uh, finally ended up getting a hotel room. See,
00:42:46.460
I can't sleep in a hotel room. I sleep better on the ground than I sleep on a bed. I'm a freaking
00:42:53.780
heathen, man. Well, I'm sure there's reasons for that. Yeah. Well, I was sitting there thinking,
00:42:58.640
well, welcome to Missouri. Methamphetamines are a motherfucker. Yeah. Did the guy's eyes
00:43:03.840
were, were they like this by chance? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. He was messed up, dude. That's wild.
00:43:09.180
So little did he know he's probably telling a story right now. Yeah, man. I almost had
00:43:12.840
these guys. No man, you were about to be scalped. Yeah. It's been a trip, man. I'm glad the,
00:43:22.320
uh, you know, the good Midwest hospitality took care of you, you know, make sure you're treated
00:43:26.340
correctly. I just want to give you a hug or something, dude. Oh yeah. I'm sure that's
00:43:31.040
all. Yeah. Did he have a banjo? Uh, no, he didn't have a banjo. If he would have busted
00:43:35.580
the banjo out, we would have went down there and hung out with him for a little while.
00:43:39.180
That's right up our alley, brother. Oh man. So these are the type of the relationships you
00:43:44.920
get to have during, you know, when shit hits the fan. You know, you figure out who your real
00:43:48.720
friends are. That is the truth, dude. I'm with you. Dude, you, you, you meet people by telling
00:43:53.500
the truth. You meet people that contribute to your life tremendously. And you know, it's,
00:44:00.840
it's weird to me watching people online right now who are still afraid of like, just saying
00:44:07.640
what they think. Like, dude, do you guys not understand that that's the point? The point
00:44:12.720
is they want you to feel alone. They want you to feel scared. They want you to feel like you
00:44:18.200
can't say what you want. And you know, the minute you, the minute you hop off the fence
00:44:24.920
and you say, all right, this is what I stand for. This is what I believe. Are you going
00:44:28.040
to get some people that disagree? Sure. But you're not going to have to live in fear anymore.
00:44:32.060
That's it, brother. You don't have to live in fear anymore. Like you don't have to wonder,
00:44:34.800
like, I don't, I don't post shit or say shit and think, man, I wonder if these people are
00:44:40.720
not going to like it. I already know they're not going to like it. So I don't give a fuck.
00:44:44.160
And like, dude, it's very freeing. And like, I see so many people in my DMS right now in the
00:44:49.600
current state of the world who are afraid that their neighbor or their aunt or their so-and-so
00:44:56.640
is going to give them some shit. Well, fuck dude. If you're legitimately nervous about what's going
00:45:01.280
on in the world and you think that you should say something or do something, do you, don't you
00:45:06.220
think it's more important than what you're fucking detached from reality aunt has to say about it?
00:45:11.240
Like, you see what I'm saying? Like, dude, it's a freeing thing. Like when you stand for who you
00:45:16.020
are, people really can't fuck with you because it is what it is. You know what I'm saying? Like
00:45:22.100
a lot of people right now just talking, talking like Jake Paul, Tyron Woodley, right? I don't,
00:45:27.400
did you, did you see that? You probably didn't see it. There's a fight. You know, do you know
00:45:31.480
that happened? No. Okay. I didn't think it did. So I've been living in the woods.
00:45:36.640
I know. So Jake Paul, who has been known for his whole life as a influencer, I started
00:45:43.560
really young and Tyron Woodley, who was a five-time UFC champion fought in a boxing match last
00:45:49.700
night. And it was a great fight, by the way, super entertaining. I, a lot of, you know, after
00:45:57.900
every boxing match, everybody's got shit to say. I was proud of both of them. I thought
00:46:01.660
they both fought good. Jake's only been boxing three years. Tyron's not really a boxer. He's
00:46:06.900
an MMA guy. They're both into something new. They, they, they met and they entertained the
00:46:11.740
world, right? Like millions of millions and millions of people watched it. And I see all
00:46:17.260
these people talking shit on both of them today, either side. And I'm like, man, like you guys
00:46:21.980
don't understand. Like these people don't give a fuck that you're talking shit on them. Like
00:46:27.920
they are doing their life. They're doing big things. And think about you sitting there
00:46:34.440
as somebody who's not doing anything sort of even like what these two men have done.
00:46:39.780
And you're criticizing them or talking about how they, motherfucker, get in the game, get
00:46:46.080
in the game. Because if you get in the game, then you'll realize like there's actual mutual
00:46:50.660
respect between the people who are competing. You know, Tyron and Jake, they might not like
00:46:55.180
each other right now, but I bet you before time is over, they will be great friends.
00:47:00.060
I guarantee it. And I know both the guys. So I know they're both good dudes. You know,
00:47:03.860
a lot of people talk about Jake. They say, Oh, he's this or that motherfucker. That's a
00:47:08.680
character. This dude is smarter than you. And you like, don't get it. You know what I'm
00:47:12.300
saying? Like, yeah. I mean, to your point, you know, I wrote a post a little while ago about
00:47:16.860
there's 50 people on a football field and 50,000 in the stands. That's it. You know,
00:47:20.300
and the 50 people on the field, they don't give a fuck with the person in the stands. Oh,
00:47:23.840
you should have worked harder. Oh, he should have threw the football over there. Motherfucker,
00:47:26.600
you ain't throwing the football. I am. You know? And I think that, that understanding,
00:47:30.320
that fear of what the people in the stands are going to say about you is an inherent
00:47:33.960
thing that happens in life specifically now, because it's a little bit controversial.
00:47:38.080
You're worried about what some person who you don't fucking know on the internet is going
00:47:42.720
to say to you. Why? Well, what the, a lot of these people, they're afraid they're going
00:47:46.960
to lose dollars, but what they don't understand is a fundamental point of, of business is that
00:47:52.280
you cannot have a hundred percent of the people like you. It's just not reality. Like no matter
00:47:57.620
how docile, how polite, how courteous, how kind of a human you are. Mother Teresa had motherfuckers
00:48:06.560
that hated her, hated her. Okay. There's people who have done tremendous things in life who have
00:48:15.260
created all of these good things that people do. Martin Luther King was assassinated.
00:48:20.600
Okay. So when you do anything, there's already half the people that don't like you just because
00:48:26.720
of the way you look, the way you talk, the way you, the, the, what you think, what they think
00:48:30.820
about you, that probably isn't even true. What they heard about you. So, so in a business sense,
00:48:35.700
like what these influencers and businesses are doing is actually alienating the people that believe
00:48:41.680
on them and count on them to lead. We are in a time right now where we need fucking leaders in
00:48:47.060
this country. And these people have clearly chosen a dollar or a perceived dollar over the more
00:48:55.720
important aspect of humanity is that we need leaders to lead us through tough times. That's just a fact.
00:49:02.120
Yeah. I mean, I went to dinner last or Saturday night with a friend and he said, aren't you nervous
00:49:06.160
about making that post and losing business? No, not at all. In fact, if you read through the
00:49:11.660
comments, there's about a hundred or 200 people said, I'm only buying first form supplements from
00:49:14.900
here on out because we stand for something. But secondarily, like, that's not why you did it
00:49:18.760
though. No, I didn't fucking, I did it because that's how I feel. If you choose not to shop with
00:49:22.340
me because my opinion fucking offends you. I can deal with that. Yeah. Well, and you're not my
00:49:26.300
fucking core customer anyway. That's it, dude. And that's okay. Like you want, then go support who
00:49:32.540
you want to support. That's right. That's it. And I think this, this ain't nothing new, man.
00:49:37.740
Look, look, look, we have the ultimate example in Christ. Christ literally changed the construct of
00:49:44.240
the entire world for the rest of human history with 12 fishermen. Yeah. And guess what happened
00:49:52.620
to him for it? He was crucified. That's right. That's it, man. This is, this is this knowledge.
00:49:58.740
This is ancient stuff, man. Yeah, dude. I mean, we're just giving you a reminder here. Yeah.
00:50:04.340
That's all. Yeah. There's nothing profound here. Yeah. That's a fact, dude. But you know,
00:50:08.380
truth is truth. Yeah. That's the beautiful thing about it. This, this, this lesson is going to apply
00:50:13.700
to anyone and everyone from here on out. Well, Chad, I'll tell you what, man, like I know you feel
00:50:19.720
this way. Just maybe I, maybe I'm wrong, but I am 99.9% certain. Um, you understand that there's
00:50:28.720
things that are worse than nine. Oh Lord. Yeah. Like not standing for who you are or not being
00:50:33.760
true to yourself or not having courage and not doing fighting for the things that are right
00:50:39.320
and good. And just in this world, if that ends up costing me everything, I can deal with that.
00:50:45.400
But what I can't deal with is sitting on the sidelines, watching bad things happen to people
00:50:51.920
who don't deserve it and not say a fucking word about it. I just can't do it. I can't do it.
00:50:57.100
And so people may not like the political. Actually, what's funny is that's not even true.
00:51:02.580
The truth is the shows I post about these opinions are the most listened to shows. Yeah. So the proof
00:51:08.620
is in the statistics. Yeah. But the point is, is there are so many people out there living in
00:51:12.900
purgatory because they're afraid. They're afraid to say, no, they're not living. That's right.
00:51:18.740
There you go. They're dying in purgatory. That's right. Yeah. That's exactly what they're doing.
00:51:23.220
And here's, I have a, I have a very unique piece of knowledge here. I can't die. I can't die.
00:51:33.420
I'm going to live eternally. Like when you grasp that, you become an unstoppable force.
00:51:41.920
That's where I'm at, brother. Dude, I get it. I get it. I may not be as exactly where you are
00:51:47.040
because I don't have the same experiences. You know, it's always funny that you and I became such
00:51:51.760
good buddies, Andy, because man, we talk totally different. Oh yeah. Yeah. And that, that in a lot
00:51:59.480
of people's minds, that conflicts, I've had people message me that say, I can't believe you go on and
00:52:05.720
and have a conversation with Andy, the way he talks. And I'm like, what are you freaking talking
00:52:12.200
about, man? You're a beautiful human being, man. Like, uh, you know, it's, it's just,
00:52:18.120
it freaks people out. It's an, it's an amazing example of how we can work together. And that's
00:52:25.100
it, man. And like, dude, DJ and I were talking about this on the ride to work today. Like,
00:52:29.720
I don't give a shit where you come from, dude. I don't care if you're black or if you're fucking
00:52:34.660
Asian or if you're, uh, you know, it doesn't matter. What matters is if we can talk and hang
00:52:41.280
out, be cool and have a conversation without saying, Hey, fuck you, you piece of shit. Cause you
00:52:46.660
used curse words. But isn't that the beauty of life? Dude. Yes. The beauty of life is
00:52:51.780
understanding the other's struggle and the other's perspective and the other's story and the other's
00:52:56.480
journey and then sharing it. Like when you live in an echo chamber of just people who think the
00:53:00.980
same way you do, and you can only live in the environment the same way they do. Like you are
00:53:04.440
short-sighting your own experience of life. Man, that's the truth. Life is, it's so beautiful and
00:53:09.660
fucked up right in the same time, but going in and actually experiencing somebody else's story is like,
00:53:15.300
wow, it's fucking awesome. That's it. Which is what makes this so cool. It's like, you are totally
00:53:20.340
different than us. And it's so fucking awesome because we're really the same. That's right.
00:53:25.060
That's right. You know? And it's like, God damn, if we, everybody would just stop,
00:53:29.140
take a look around and be like, you know what? Well, they're not told that anymore. You know,
00:53:33.360
we were told that growing up. Yeah. Our people, our age were told that growing up, Hey, it doesn't
00:53:39.180
matter what someone looks like. What matters is what they represent or how they, how, you know,
00:53:44.120
are they a good person? Do they do the right thing? Their character traits. We were taught that
00:53:48.060
people now are not taught that anymore. They're taught that people who have virtuous character
00:53:52.900
in genuine, genuinely in real life, they're, they're faking it because they have guilt or, um,
00:53:59.300
they're unaware. They don't know how oppressed they are or, uh, you know, they're, they're,
00:54:04.600
they're bought into white supremacist culture. Like there's all these justifications to diminish
00:54:09.740
people's, uh, genuine qualities that they would have that makes people doubt each other.
00:54:15.740
That's a tactic though. Yes. Oh, absolutely. It's a, yeah. That's all that is. They're being
00:54:20.240
taught that for a reason. It's all ties into identity politics and we're all different and we all,
00:54:25.900
you know, secretly behind closed doors. They don't like you and you don't like that. That's all
00:54:30.160
bullshit guys. It's just, it just is. Pivoting a little bit. Cause I'm curious. You're here.
00:54:37.160
We've got all this stuff in Afghanistan going on. You have, uh, a way different perspective than we
00:54:43.840
do as civilians. I'd love to just, can you walk us through what you're, you think is going on and
00:54:49.580
what you think is happening so that maybe we have a different insight or a different perspective?
00:54:53.300
Yeah. Um, well, I don't know that I can offer a different perspective. I think if you have
00:55:02.420
any common sense, you're looking at the situation through almost an identical lens that I am in the
00:55:10.820
situation in Afghanistan specifically is quite obviously an absolute atrocity. Um, tactically,
00:55:20.540
it's just, it's mind boggling. Uh, the, the, these are all conversations that are being had,
00:55:26.020
obviously we're making deals with a, with a terrorist group called the Taliban. Did we forget
00:55:32.000
who the Taliban was? I know I haven't forgotten who they, in the beginning that it was the Taliban
00:55:37.660
and Al Qaeda that that's who we were at war with. And, and so it's an absolute atrocity. Uh, now
00:55:46.300
I'm looking for, for like, for hope, right? I talked about that before. And so all these conversations
00:55:54.380
about what's happening in Afghanistan, they're all the same conversations. Those of us that have
00:56:02.840
common sense and are true red blooded Americans, we see this through the same lens. My service doesn't
00:56:09.740
really give me a unique perspective. You guys are tacticians. You applied the same tactics in this
00:56:15.940
business that we applied on the battlefield. You guys can see through the same lens as me.
00:56:21.500
Here's the thing. Here, here's my, here's my take on this, on everything as a whole that's going on.
00:56:28.660
Um, the, the human race is absolutely hopeless. There is no, I read this book called the Bible
00:56:40.880
and the entire Bible is telling us one thing that we have no hope. As soon as sin entered the human
00:56:53.600
race, entered this equation, it began a cycle. And the cycle is things get really bad because we, as, as
00:57:04.100
humanity are inherently evil. Things get really bad, right? And then some good men stand up and it resets.
00:57:12.620
But see, all we can do is buy time. We can never fix this problem. Do you think that this situation that
00:57:19.540
we're facing overseas here in this nation, do you think this is unique to us? No, this is not unique
00:57:26.360
to us. It's happened on an 80 year cycle over and over and over again. That's exactly right. Yeah. So
00:57:30.360
all we have the ability to do is to buy some time. Now I say there's no hope for humanity. That doesn't
00:57:39.060
mean that we should stop trying to improve this world, our nation, and our lives for future generations.
00:57:49.280
We shouldn't stop trying, right? So those are, that's a whole nother set of solutions, right?
00:57:55.520
I say there's no hope. All we can do is buy time. The only hope that we have, the only hope that we
00:58:04.520
have is trusting in who Jesus Christ said he is, trusting in what he did, receiving him as our savior
00:58:15.760
in allowing him to come in. The Holy Spirit dwells within me. And here's the problem. It's the human
00:58:23.080
heart, right? It's the human heart. That's why we can only buy time because the human heart is tainted.
00:58:30.400
It's, it's, it's marred. It's not what it was created to be. What happens when you receive Jesus
00:58:36.100
Christ is you receive something called the Holy Spirit, all right? The Holy Spirit comes into you
00:58:42.400
and changes your heart, which is the only permanent fix for any human on earth. Your heart has to be
00:58:53.440
changed. Okay. Now, when that happens, you become a new creation. All right. Now, obviously not everyone
00:59:01.720
on earth is going to receive this free gift that our God, our creator gives us. And I want to make
00:59:09.820
a caveat here. I'm not a Baptist. I'm not a Pentecostal. I'm not a Catholic. I'm not a Presbyterian.
00:59:17.360
You know what I am? I'm a Christian. And you know why I'm a Christian? Because I picked up this book
00:59:21.960
one time and it's the bestseller in the entire world. Number one bestseller of all times. And that book
00:59:29.520
made sense to me from the first sentence to the last sentence. The first sentence tells me in the
00:59:36.460
beginning, that's time. God, our creator created the heavens, that's space and the earth, that's
00:59:44.400
matter. It told me in the first sentence, something that made sense to me. The three elements that
00:59:50.240
create the universe, time, space, and matter were explained in the first sentence. All right. And all
00:59:55.660
the way through this book, it makes total sense to me. And that's why I believe the way I believe.
01:00:00.920
Now, everybody's not going to take that on board, but let me tell you what my solution is right now.
01:00:06.420
My solution, I am more driven to convince you logically and also through my testimony that
01:00:15.420
this is the only answer. I am more driven right now to point people to Christ than I have ever been in
01:00:22.360
my whole life. And we said, one good thing has come out of this. Well, the other good thing that's
01:00:26.660
come out of all this bull crap is it has literally set me in motion to where that's all. That is my
01:00:34.780
mission is to lead you to Christ so that you can have a change of heart, which is the only solution,
01:00:43.120
man. Now, other than that, for those of you that choose not to receive that, that's cool with me.
01:00:49.160
We can have another conversation on the side. Hit me up, whatever. All right. The hard conversation
01:00:56.580
to have is what do we do right now to buy us more time? All right. I've got plenty of buddies out there
01:01:05.320
right now. Eli Crane. There's a whole stream of team guys that are running for political office.
01:01:13.120
I commend them for that because they're a lot like you, Andy, and you, Sal. They don't have to do
01:01:20.120
that. They're set, man. They've got a great business financially. They're independently wealthy.
01:01:27.300
They don't have to go and run for political office. I commend them for that. But here's the thing.
01:01:32.460
I don't think that I honestly don't think that's a valid solution. I really don't. I think that this
01:01:40.660
system that we're currently being enslaved by, it's going to have to, at some point, be torn down
01:01:51.140
from the ground up and rebuilt. Now, that's a lot more complex. That doesn't come through chaos,
01:02:01.200
But it is going to have to be torn down, rebuilt from the ground up, and that's going to buy us,
01:02:10.440
That's going to, but you know what? When that happens, I'm dreading that day if I'm here
01:02:16.260
because a lot of people are going to die. Maybe even me if I'm here. It's not going to be pretty,
01:02:24.320
and I want to respect your platform. I don't want to go too off the rails on this.
01:02:27.940
Tell the truth. It's, for me, at this point, going and trying, because I even thought about
01:02:37.660
maybe running for governor or Congress or something like that, but going and trying
01:02:43.060
to operate within the confines of the current system, I just don't see how you can make any
01:02:51.480
real and permanent change where we are right now. I just, everything is, you're just going to hit
01:02:58.000
roadblock after roadblock after roadblock, man. You know, and ultimately, I think that's what's
01:03:05.500
going to have to happen to buy us some more time.
01:03:08.260
I think, I don't think you're wrong, dude. I think that it still can be done within the confines.
01:03:14.480
I think what we're seeing right now is a, the result of generations of apathy for America.
01:03:25.080
Meaning, and here's what I mean. I think there's a lot of people that love America, right? They,
01:03:28.980
I love America, but they're not serving America in any way. Yeah. Right. And so we have a lot of
01:03:34.640
people, generations of people who have put their head down, um, run their lives, you know, built
01:03:42.940
their, built their lives, uh, built a good career, maybe a business. Uh, they've raised their kids,
01:03:48.580
they've done all these things and they have forgot to give back in that civic way. Um, and that's why
01:03:55.860
we have so many problems. If we have generations now of the way I describe it as apathy, right? We trust,
01:04:03.260
we've trusted that the parent or that the teachers would teach our kids properly. We've, we've trusted
01:04:09.120
that the politicians would figure it out. The problem is, is that we have so many of these people
01:04:14.720
who have gone into office and become corrupted by the way that things are, which is what you're
01:04:20.700
talking about. You know, we have, they, we, we have so many different ways of, of benefiting from
01:04:27.980
being in public office, which is supposed to be public service, uh, off the books. Right. So
01:04:33.920
everybody, they get in there and then, you know, maybe you have a virtuous person, let's just say
01:04:38.940
a man or a woman, they come in, they have all the good intentions in the world. Cause, cause what I'm
01:04:43.420
getting to here is what we really need is people that can't be bought to go into office. This is what
01:04:48.060
we need. Um, that will fix it. Well, yeah, that, that, that's going to be a, that, but that's,
01:04:53.480
that's going to be a restructuring. That's going to restructure the whole system. And that's what
01:04:58.500
I'm talking about. And I think it can be done within the system without tremendous violence.
01:05:02.020
And I think we are at a point now where that can be accomplished. If people stand up now, meaning,
01:05:09.700
you know, and I'm not saying everybody out there has to go, uh, run for governor or Senate or Congress
01:05:15.320
or anything like that, but you should take some interest in your PTA meetings. You should go to,
01:05:20.660
uh, your County, your County meetings to talk about certain issues that you deem that are
01:05:25.720
important. Those things haven't happened from, uh, they've only been happening on the far left side
01:05:31.720
for, for 25 years. And the rest of America has said, man, this place is great. It's going to be
01:05:37.860
great. Everybody's going to be cool. It's going to work. And guess what? We got a lot of shit taken
01:05:43.040
from us by, because we took our eye off the game. You know why everybody feel that that's spot on,
01:05:49.080
man. And it's because we all have these pacifiers, man. Oh yeah. Look, I heard, I heard a very
01:05:56.540
influential, um, person was asked a question the other day, what would it take for you to get into
01:06:03.000
politics? And this individual answered and said, I would have to become complete chaos because right
01:06:08.880
now it's not that bad because we still all have our iPhones and we have all have plenty of food to
01:06:13.940
eat. And we, we have all these luxuries. It's not that bad. Well, I, I respectfully disagree with
01:06:20.440
that. Yes, it is that bad. This nation no longer represents even a shell of what it was formed to
01:06:28.760
be. I mean, really? No, I agree. And so what, what, what, what my answer to that question would be is
01:06:35.420
what all these little pacifiers we have, they're never going to go away. It's not, it's not ever
01:06:41.480
going to get to the point where you don't have all your little creature comforts, right? Because
01:06:46.960
the, the powers that be are going to, they're betting on this. They're going to make sure that
01:06:52.100
you are comfortable, right? Because as soon as people become uncomfortable, that's when the game
01:06:59.200
no longer works. That's right. That's never going to happen. You're never going to see complete
01:07:03.200
chaos. You're just going to what we have become essentially batteries. It reminds me of the
01:07:10.080
matrix. It literally does. I mean, I work six months out of the year for free, you know, and
01:07:17.000
that, and that's just one level, man, look, we got to buy some more time at some point, but that's not
01:07:25.020
the ultimate fix. Well, I think what it comes down to Chad, you know, I, I agree with what you're
01:07:30.360
saying, but I also disagree in the fact that we could still have time to fix it. And, you know,
01:07:36.100
this is going to take good people with good hearts, getting involved and speaking the truth
01:07:41.760
and standing without fear and other people will join in. You know, there's, there's numerical data
01:07:46.720
that says this right now. I just did a big, long rant on my story yesterday about it, where I kind
01:07:50.560
of yelled at everybody. Um, but guys, you know, 80% of the population agrees that shit is pretty
01:07:57.160
fucked up. You know, if you look at any poll outside of a straight up Biden approval poll,
01:08:02.120
all right, how is Biden's handling McAniston? 80% strongly disagree. How is, uh, the Biden
01:08:08.260
administration handling coronavirus? 80% strongly disagree. Uh, are you for, uh, or, or against
01:08:15.200
restaurants asking for vaccine passports or vaccine information? 80% say no. These are all liberal
01:08:21.680
polls, by the way. These are big liberal media outlets, which means that 80% is probably 95%.
01:08:27.140
All right. And you, and what we have here is the pacifiers that you're talking about have created
01:08:35.540
this scenario where, where they've been allowed to create a perception that isn't real. Because
01:08:40.700
when you say that America doesn't, uh, represent what it is, no, it sure doesn't here. Sure doesn't.
01:08:47.280
Yeah. But when I go out in the real world and I talk to real people, people are good. People are
01:08:52.740
willing to help each other. You're right. You know, I don't walk into a, a black neighborhood
01:08:57.300
here in St. Louis and they all hate me. Like it might be a little weird cause I'm the only white
01:09:01.640
dude, but after about five minutes, everything's cool. Right. And so dude, people are representing
01:09:08.880
America, but what they want us to believe is that if you believe in America and you believe in freedom
01:09:15.620
and the things this country was founded upon, um, you know, all men are created equal, et cetera,
01:09:20.480
et cetera, et cetera. If, if you believe in that you're, you're an extremist or you're dude,
01:09:25.740
they put a terrorist watch list. You saw this might be on it. Yeah. Yeah.
01:09:33.780
I'm up there. I'm working my way up. But the point is, is like, it's comical, right? Because they put
01:09:39.380
this terrorist watch list out the next fucking week. Dudes are falling off an airplane, trying
01:09:44.860
to escape terrorism, real terrorism, literally the next week, you know? And we, we, we have a media
01:09:52.500
problem where they are. Dude, we have a greed problem. We have the greediest people in the world
01:09:58.680
wanting more and more and more. We have a sin problem. It goes back to the original conversation.
01:10:03.740
Everything that drives, drives all of this, it falls under the category of sin. Yeah.
01:10:07.960
Coveting, greed. Yeah. Um, that's selfishness, all of that, man. Uh, you know, I, dude, you're
01:10:14.780
exactly right, Annie. If we could convince the majority of our nation to love God and love their
01:10:22.420
neighbor, if, but you have to do both. Yeah. You have to love God because it has to be something
01:10:28.740
bigger than yourself. You have to have some sort of standard that you can adhere to. That's right.
01:10:34.740
Love God. Love your neighbor. Dude, we could turn this around before this podcast is over.
01:10:39.620
It's a fact. And, and you, I love the hope that you're providing through your perspective because
01:10:45.640
my perspective is ugly. It would buy us time. Your perspective is providing hope even for me
01:10:52.520
right now. I love hearing you say this, man. Well, bro, I don't think it's, I don't think
01:10:56.100
your concern is invalid. I mean, there's days that I have and I'm like, holy shit, dude.
01:10:59.960
And I'll come in and tell Sal, he's like, what's wrong? I'm like, well, uh, we're completely
01:11:04.120
screwed. Like he's like, what do you mean? And cause like, dude, everybody around here
01:11:10.800
knows. And if you follow me on social, I take this shit serious, dude. Like, like this
01:11:17.180
isn't the, the state of the country in the world is something that I carry on my shoulders
01:11:22.340
every day. And whether it's justified or not, a lot of, some people will message me and they
01:11:27.220
said, why do you, why do you think you're leading the world? I know I'm not leading the
01:11:30.840
world, but I'm leading one or two or three people. Right. And that's important. And so
01:11:35.520
I take this shit serious. And there's days I come in and Sal's like, man, dude, what's
01:11:39.160
wrong with you? And I'm like, um, do you not see what's going on? Like, you know, that's
01:11:44.060
how serious I take it. And, uh, it, it's become like, and I know this sounds so weird, dude.
01:11:51.840
And it sounds egotistical too, but like, I've come to the point and I told my friend
01:11:57.620
Ian Smith, this, who's been on the front lines of, of, of defying some of this stuff
01:12:02.160
the whole year, dude, it's come to the point where I think like, this is actually my purpose
01:12:07.820
in life is to help people work through this shit. Like I think all of us that are here
01:12:15.640
right now in this world are here for a reason to handle this difficult time. Otherwise God
01:12:22.440
wouldn't have put us here. I believe that you're right. Like dude. And I've always felt
01:12:27.280
my, and this is sounds so weird, dude. I've always felt my entire life. Even when I was
01:12:32.400
a little fat, nobody that nobody really gave a fuck about, I always felt like I was here
01:12:38.600
to do something. And so for a long time, I thought it was to build this company and employ
01:12:42.740
all these people and do this and make a lot of money and this and that. And I did all
01:12:47.040
that. You know what I'm saying? And I'm still doing it. And now I'm sitting here thinking
01:12:50.280
like, well, fuck, that wasn't the point. The point here is that I'm here to help these people
01:12:57.800
get this country back online and get our humanity back online. And like, we, we need leaders right
01:13:05.380
now. We need people to stand up and that, you know, Martin Luther King wasn't a, uh, this
01:13:11.920
on day one, wasn't this well-known guy. He was just a guy that went out and started talking
01:13:16.460
truth. You know, and we need like, there's, there is the future Martin Luther King or, uh,
01:13:23.740
the Abraham Lincoln or the Ulysses Grant, true American heroes. They are out there right now.
01:13:29.560
And my fear is that they're being, they're being persuaded by all the negativity to lose hope and
01:13:36.680
that we're going to lose out on the gifts of our generation, which is we have some great people out
01:13:41.460
there that we don't even know are great yet. And like, that could be you listening right now. And
01:13:46.460
you have this inside of your heart and you're saying, man, I don't know. I don't know. I don't
01:13:51.180
know. Sal, you posted that video the other day. Was that your most popular video ever? Yeah. I
01:13:56.420
already know it was, but I mean, by how much? Thousand X. Yeah. And all that is, is this man
01:14:03.620
saying, Hey, um, this is what I see happening. And this is what I see the truth is. And guys,
01:14:10.760
you know, there's a lot of you out there that are meant to be great, amazing leaders of your
01:14:16.000
community at the minimum that are not speaking up or taking action yet. And you have no idea how
01:14:21.820
many people out there are just waiting for you to stand up and say, Hey, I'm done with
01:14:27.320
this shit. This isn't right. And do, when you do that, you will find your tribe. And that's
01:14:33.440
what frustrates me about the influencers because they already have this, this massive channel
01:14:38.280
that they could, they could execute on. And yeah, dude, maybe a couple of the people that
01:14:44.020
bought your stuff aren't going to buy it anymore, but I'm going to tell you what, uh, you're going
01:14:49.360
to gain about 20,000. Not that you should even do it for that reason, but fuck dude. If you're
01:14:54.460
really that worried about a dollar, you're, you're missing the boat because dude, people will support
01:14:58.820
people that they believe have their interests in mind. And I don't know, man. Well, we've,
01:15:05.120
we've seen that in our own, in our own platform with three or seven project and, and even my own
01:15:09.680
personal brand. When you come out and you stand up for American values, American principles,
01:15:16.020
freedom, liberty, right? You do. You're going to, you're going to lose people, but the backfill
01:15:21.940
is always more than you lose way more than you lose. It really is. And the difficult part for
01:15:29.220
people that are like trying to play the piece, political correctness has ruined the country.
01:15:33.920
That's a fact. Yeah. Politic. Like people say, Oh, I don't like the way he talks. It doesn't matter
01:15:38.000
how I talk. I tell the truth. Okay. And the reason that we are where we are is because 25 years ago,
01:15:44.580
they started saying, well, you probably shouldn't say it that way. Just say it this way. You know,
01:15:50.200
you can't really say that term anymore. You just say this. And then step by step, by step, by step,
01:15:56.460
we are, we have been neutered of the truth. Okay. And it's been gradual. It's like boiling a frog
01:16:02.160
in water. We've all heard the analogy, right? So we are in a scenario where we need people to just
01:16:08.320
tell the truth. Just tell the truth. And use the words that we have to tell the truth.
01:16:13.980
Words freaking matter. They do. Yeah. Yeah. And that's a whole nother concept that we could get
01:16:18.460
to talk about is how they're diluting the meaning of words. Now, you know, the culture that's being
01:16:23.860
put into us, you guys have to understand, like when you watch this shit on TV and you see dudes
01:16:30.900
falling from airplanes or people being left behind or people being, dude, this shit is orchestrated.
01:16:37.780
It is done on purpose. There are decisions that are being made on purpose to create a more chaotic
01:16:44.200
environment in this country for you and your family. And for you to stand by and stand with the people
01:16:50.720
doing it is treason to yourself. And that's what people have not grasped yet. They haven't understood
01:16:57.780
that they're selling themselves out by believing the shit that these people are just making mistakes.
01:17:03.240
Listen, man, this guy's an idiot, right? Nobody's that big of an idiot. Nobody. Okay. And how many
01:17:10.480
times does it have to happen for it to be a coincidence? Like if we, and I said this on the
01:17:14.940
podcast for a year, if we went in and we said, okay, what are the steps that we need to do to destroy
01:17:21.060
this country's fabric forever? It would be the game plan that they've been running. You're dying
01:17:27.100
straight, man. Period. And that goes for the dude. I mean, I just, I mean, just the simple
01:17:33.980
take the most recent event, you know, the evacuation of Afghanistan. I'm convinced that me and my college
01:17:39.460
roommates, 36 beers in could come up with a better fucking tactical strategy. That's the point.
01:17:45.980
No, I understand. That's true. No, I, I, because people, people have the, the idea, this is dude,
01:17:51.820
what this comes back to is people's naive nature about other people. Okay. There are bad people
01:17:58.120
out there real bad. That's right. And so what's happening is they've, they've manipulated a portion
01:18:02.660
of our, of our population, not a large portion anymore, by the way, 80% see it's wrong. 80%.
01:18:08.300
There's still people though. And I believe that those people actually see it's wrong too,
01:18:12.940
but I think they're too stubborn to actually address the issue within themselves because it's
01:18:17.320
a very powerful thing for you to attach your identity to something. And let me give you a
01:18:21.560
practical example of this forever. What kind of trucks did I drive? Chevy. I drove Chevy trucks,
01:18:27.780
dude, my whole life. That was it. Chevy, Chevy, Chevy. If you drove a Ford, fuck you. Like that was
01:18:33.900
how I felt. Okay. Now this is a stupid example. You're going to be like, Oh, but this is exactly
01:18:40.160
what people are doing. So I've attached my identity to being loyal to Chevy. Okay. And for 10 years,
01:18:46.780
I drove an inferior truck to the fucking one. So, so eventually I got so pissed off. I ended up
01:18:52.860
buying a, Sal bought a Ford and I made fun of him. I'm like, dude, you're a sellout. You bought a
01:18:57.060
Ford. That's a nice truck by the way. So he's like, dude, just drive it, just drive it down the
01:19:02.080
street. I drove it down the street and I'm like, fuck, this thing is awesome. And like, it was painful
01:19:09.460
to admit. I was like, Oh, I'm wrong. And I, what I walk in and say, I said, damn dude, I've been
01:19:16.700
wrong. That truck's fucking, you know what I did? I went and sold. I went and got rid of my Chevy and
01:19:21.120
I got a Ford and now I'm happier than ever. Okay. Now that sounds stupid, but it's the same thing
01:19:26.520
people are doing right now. They're a dress. They're attached their identity to this belief
01:19:30.940
of I'm a Democrat. I stand with Biden. I hate Trump. I am pro vaccine mandate. I am COVID is
01:19:40.980
killing everybody. I am like you, you guys, there's so many, they have attached their actual
01:19:46.900
personal idea. Dude, if you go on Instagram, there are people that have put fully vaccinated
01:19:51.940
in front of their name on Instagram. Right. So they, this identity that they've created for these
01:19:58.160
people to attach to is so strong that they can't, they, they don't even understand that
01:20:03.580
they've done this right. They're not aware enough to understand that they've attached their identity
01:20:07.360
to something. And what they don't understand on top of that is that if they detached from
01:20:11.540
it, they would be the most free they've ever been in their entire life. They would carry the
01:20:15.580
least amount of weight and be the most happy to detach themselves from those identity. And
01:20:19.780
so one of the things that I've been working on for the last couple of years, which is something
01:20:23.860
that I was the complete opposite of for a long time, for a long time. Chad, you know,
01:20:29.280
I like cars and I'm a car guy. I'm still wondering what's the most you've ever spent on a car.
01:20:33.600
I've been waiting. It's a lot. It's a lot. Yeah. I got cars that people don't know I got.
01:20:41.660
Yeah. You probably got a few Emily don't even know about, right?
01:20:45.900
She might not know how much they cost. Yeah, that's right.
01:20:48.240
She does not. So Emily's very supportive. She understands that I don't have many hobbies
01:20:53.600
and that's like my passion. Yeah. So, and she's starting to like it too.
01:20:57.560
In defense, they're also investments. Oh yeah. Listen, I'm up millions of dollars in my car
01:21:01.660
collection. If I looked at it as a stock, I think I did the math the other day. I'm up $6 million
01:21:05.660
positive on my collection. So like, dude, so I enjoy it and I make money on it, but I really do it
01:21:12.340
because I enjoy it. But the point is I drove Lamborghinis forever and ever and ever. All right.
01:21:17.400
I fucking hated Ferrari and it's the same thing. I freed myself from that. This sounds so
01:21:23.520
stupid, right? But it's the same concept. I freed myself from this identity attachment with Lamborghini
01:21:29.920
because eventually they abused me to the point where I just couldn't take it anymore. And like,
01:21:34.840
dude, what happened was I was spending tons of money on a race team. They came out with a real
01:21:39.680
special car and then they said I couldn't have it. Okay. I couldn't even buy it. And I'm like,
01:21:45.980
well, fuck you guys then. And at first I switched out of spite. But what I did was I detached
01:21:52.640
myself from that identity. And now guess what? I found this new family over here with Ferrari.
01:21:58.160
We're sponsoring their race team. I love the people. I love the dealer. I go down probably
01:22:02.560
once every two months, talk to the owner of the dealer. He's 80 years old. Dude, he sits down with
01:22:09.280
this guy with personal friends with Enzo Ferrari, who is a legend in the automotive world. And he sits
01:22:15.320
there with me and DJ for hours and talks about all these stories that they create. Like, dude,
01:22:19.820
it's totally made my life better by detaching from this other relationship. And so what I've been
01:22:26.760
working on the last few years is trying to never have those attachments. I just try to see things
01:22:32.100
for what they are and trying to not let my ego attach to them so that I'm also free to change as
01:22:37.420
things go. And what that does, guys, is that allows you to make critical decisions about your life
01:22:42.200
that actually make you more effective and happier. Right. And we have a big problem with this going on in the
01:22:47.900
world right now because everybody wants to say, you're wrong. I'm right. No, dude, look at the
01:22:53.540
world. Nobody's right right now. You know what I'm saying? Like, we can't argue about who's wrong and
01:22:58.100
right. We have to we have to come together and say, hey, clearly this is not sustainable. Clearly,
01:23:05.020
it's causing problems. Clearly, we have work to do and we have to stop identifying each other with
01:23:10.740
these labels such as which they push down our throats, by the way, such as black or white or
01:23:16.800
gay or straight or this or that. We listen, we are human beings and we have to start seeing and acting
01:23:24.620
as if we are human beings if we ever want this to get better. You know, you know who said said that
01:23:30.740
Jesus said that we are all one in Christ. That's the solution. That's exactly what you're talking
01:23:34.860
about, Andy. Yeah, you're right. And I want to go back to what Sal just said. You and your buddies
01:23:42.300
after, you know, a case of beer deep could have made a better plan. Here's one of the most dangerous
01:23:50.300
things that you can do right now. And anytime, this is just this is a tactic. The most dangerous thing
01:23:56.220
that you can do is to to think or imagine that these people that are that are blundering these plans
01:24:04.240
are dumb. Never think that they are dumb. What do they say about the devil? The greatest trick that
01:24:10.340
the devil ever did was to what? To convince you he's not real. That's exactly right. Never think
01:24:16.340
that these people are dumb. And a lot of you guys are looking at what's happening in our nation and
01:24:21.940
in Afghanistan. And you're it's like beating your head against the wall because you're trying to apply
01:24:27.100
logic to something that is quite obviously illogical. OK, and that's what's happening.
01:24:34.320
See, did you I'm sure you guys know this. War is the most profitable business plan on Earth.
01:24:41.520
Billions. Do you think for a minute that anyone up top that's calling the shots right now actually
01:24:47.440
wants us out of Afghanistan? No, they're all getting kickbacks from all their buddies that own the
01:24:52.260
companies. They would love nothing more than for us to be there for another 20 years. But they needed
01:24:58.780
a reason for us to be there for another 20 years. They're getting that reason. These people are evil
01:25:05.680
geniuses, man. Don't think that they're dumb. You need to be looking at what the you want to apply
01:25:12.120
logic, apply logic to the agenda that they're actually carrying out before our eyes. Well, ask yourself,
01:25:18.660
just ask yourself, look at it real simply. OK, this is like when you have a girlfriend or something
01:25:24.460
or a boyfriend that's cheating on you or doing something weird or like, you know, doing something
01:25:28.840
not right. Like kind of like what we talked about that deal this morning. Hey, I saw that happen.
01:25:33.780
No, it didn't happen. Right. So we all you have to do is observe the situation and then ask yourself
01:25:41.820
what the intent of the situation is, because what they are doing. And to your point, this is 100%
01:25:49.980
fact. And I could see it very clearly. You could see it very clearly. A lot of people have a really
01:25:55.080
good heart and they're like, oh, man, these guys are really screwing up. Yeah, we screwed up. No,
01:25:59.560
they want you to think that they're dumb. They want you to take the fucking blame and say, oh,
01:26:04.000
we screwed up. And then they go on their ways with their billions of dollars and you get totally
01:26:08.400
screwed. OK, so ask yourself in these situations when you see all this crazy shit happening.
01:26:15.320
What is the intent? What if if they were would it make sense if this if the intent was to destroy
01:26:24.980
this? Would it make sense what they're doing? You see what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. So if you ask
01:26:30.220
yourself what the intent is based off the actions that you observe, the answer always provides itself.
01:26:36.140
And what happens is we as humans tend to sometimes not like the answer. So we do this thing called
01:26:41.240
giving them the benefit of the doubt. So how many times are we going to give them the benefit of the
01:26:45.640
doubt? Because for me, I give people the benefit of that one time. I got to give you a round of applause.
01:26:51.720
Oh, thank you. I'm just disappointed out of a million half views. You didn't watch my video.
01:26:56.120
Dude, I'm probably in the woods. The first thing I'm going to do when I leave here is watch that
01:27:01.340
dang video. No, but what I said is people think they're incompetent. No, they're fucking intentional.
01:27:05.820
Like they're fucking us. You just don't you fail. It's not incompetence. It's calculated.
01:27:11.040
That's correct. And if they see like, oh, this this these old people are just he's incompetent.
01:27:15.340
No, motherfucker. Like what they are doing is very fucking on purpose.
01:27:18.680
But I think to Andrew's point where we're saying that, you know, one is ego, right?
01:27:22.580
You haven't. There's an inherent piece of us that we want to hold on that we're right.
01:27:28.680
Well, then you say you're wrong and move on. But that's OK, right?
01:27:31.200
Like that's that ability right there right now with this time and all the tension.
01:27:35.980
This is a good time to do that. It's a great time to fucking look around and say, you know
01:27:38.740
what, man? What the fuck? Maybe I'm wrong, dude.
01:27:40.700
I saw I've seen all these tweets and all these posts like getting reposted the last like three
01:27:44.980
or four days of people who say, man, like like shit like, you know, I really regret my vote
01:27:51.300
for Biden or I, you know, Biden is who they told us Trump was shit like this or or people
01:28:04.520
Every single one of those people is being embraced and saying, thank you.
01:28:10.160
You know, so like guys, while telling the truth and saying and admitting you're wrong might
01:28:16.000
The truth is, is that people respect it and people love it.
01:28:19.500
And they might say, like, for example, like Dave, who was sick.
01:28:23.420
And, you know, I said when he got better, I said, hey, Dave, now, you know, you're a
01:28:30.960
I'm like, well, if you could have came to me the first couple of days, I could have helped
01:28:36.500
So I'll tell him we might tell him like, hey, yeah, dude, that's the kind of people we
01:28:40.140
are. Yeah, that's the kind of people that's the kind of people we are, man.
01:28:47.860
I can go deeper on this on from a moral perspective.
01:28:51.240
People ask me all the time because I don't separate myself from people that don't believe
01:28:57.820
like me. So I have homosexual people in my life that I love and pour into.
01:29:09.140
People say, how do you you telling me that you can love someone that is living this lifestyle?
01:29:20.100
You know why? Because you have to get to a place in your life where you're mature enough
01:29:24.300
to separate that sin or that person's fault or that person's bad decision from the person.
01:29:35.100
There's an awesome human locked in everyone out there.
01:29:42.480
And whether that bondage came from the result of a bad decision or a bad lifestyle choice,
01:29:46.820
that doesn't mean they're terrible people, man.
01:29:51.420
And that's the way we're supposed to treat each other.
01:29:53.940
That's how we can love each other unconditionally, no matter what we choose to do.
01:30:00.180
DJ, if you went out and did something just off the wall, stupid as crap tomorrow, I'd still
01:30:07.720
Because I know you're a good dude and I can separate that decision, that choice, that sin
01:30:13.220
from who I know you are as God's creation, a child of God, man.
01:30:18.880
Well, I mean, to that point, too, it's like, I mean, how can I judge you when I know I'm
01:30:26.380
One point that I think about or think about with all of this going on is just how naive
01:30:33.180
And something came to my mind when we were talking about, you know, we talked a lot
01:30:37.000
Well, there are so many people right now that are saying, no, the water's not boiling.
01:30:43.220
You know, and so when we talk about, you know, admitting you're wrong, admitting you're
01:30:50.780
There's a lot more worse things that can happen when you don't do that.
01:30:54.100
And like that frog in the pot will happen soon if he stays in there, dies.
01:30:58.520
You know, there's some some really terrible consequences.
01:31:01.380
You know, what's funny, dude, is that I was there's so much hypocrisy on both sides of
01:31:07.500
Like the worst, like, like, dude, I watched and, you know, I read this story.
01:31:13.540
Um, there was a famous porn star who went to CPAC, which is a conservative, uh, a conservative
01:31:25.720
And everybody's like, yeah, porn star, evil, evil, evil.
01:31:30.640
I'm like, man, who did Jesus hang out with, dude?
01:31:32.980
The freaking tax collectors, the prostitutes, the whores, the prostitutes.
01:31:38.420
Dude, that, so I'm sitting here, I'm sitting here, I'm seeing all these conservatives who
01:31:41.960
think they're holier than thou, uh, you know, cause everybody says, oh, you're, you're a
01:31:50.380
I, I actually believe in the constitution of freedom overall.
01:31:54.180
But the thing is, is that these guys can't recognize how, how, how much hypocrisy they're
01:32:01.220
actually doing when they're supposed to represent traditional Christian values and moral values
01:32:09.680
And Jesus was the guy who would go into the disease and he would work with them and talk
01:32:15.740
He was the guy who would talk to the prostitutes and, you know, dude, this is what he did.
01:32:21.640
And it's weird to me that we, dude, I think you're, the more I'm talking this out, the
01:32:30.360
Like we are just way off track, like from, no, I'm just saying from.
01:32:35.960
No, I'm just talking it out because like when you have the group of people who are supposed
01:32:40.320
to represent the, the, those values, uh, exiling people who they don't necessarily agree
01:32:46.980
with because of what they do for a living or how they live their lives.
01:33:01.100
We have to get back to having grace and having understanding and understanding that we can,
01:33:05.740
we can not live this exact same life and we can work towards.
01:33:13.900
When I get one, I'm going to travel this entire freaking nation for free and spread
01:33:23.440
You mentioned that because I'm actually what I'm going to do.
01:33:26.080
Well, you come with me because I'm actually buying a tour bus right now to do the exact
01:33:31.960
I've been working on it for the last two weeks.
01:33:33.660
By the way, I want to introduce a business opportunity to anybody listening.
01:33:37.700
Every single tour bus website out there is garbage.
01:33:41.660
If you want a clean house and you could start a tour bus business and just make some nice
01:33:46.560
website and make it searchable so we can see what you have and what, like, dude, here's
01:33:51.620
If you own a tour bus company and you exist currently, your website is fucking garbage.
01:34:00.480
I have, I'm trying to buy a million dollar fucking bus right now and I can't buy one because
01:34:07.780
So somebody make up the thing, make up the website and, and sell me a bus.
01:34:13.560
See, Chad, that's maybe that's your money opportunity so you can afford your passive
01:34:20.880
I'm pretty good at the business structure thing.
01:34:32.360
I've already, I've got five or six of my buddies who are, who are on the same track.

God gave me a vision about a year ago that, that we were, that we were going to pack stadiums.
01:35:05.100
Him and I have been talking about, like, I've been talking about taking a leave from here
01:35:16.480
I want to leave y'all with something real quick.
01:35:21.540
I'm about to hit some scripture up on the Real AF podcast right here.
01:35:25.020
And I saw heaven open and behold a white horse.
01:35:29.380
And he that sat upon him was called faithful and true.
01:35:32.900
And in righteousness, he doth judge and make war.
01:35:37.220
His eyes were as a flame of fire and on his head were many crowns.
01:35:40.540
And he had a name written that no man knew but himself.
01:35:44.700
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood.
01:35:50.660
And the armies which were in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen,
01:35:56.380
And out of his mouth went a two-edged sharp sword that he could smite the nations.
01:36:03.120
And he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of God Almighty.
01:36:07.720
And he had on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of Kings, Lord of Lords.
01:36:26.780
Me, Andy, Sal, and DJ about to come to your local freaking stadium and pack it out.
01:36:35.160
We're going to give you some things to live by.
01:36:45.740
All I want is for people to come listen and go home and live a little bit better.
01:36:54.440
Because, like, dude, I met with a couple politicians here recently here in town who are good people.
01:37:01.180
And we start talking about ideas, how to revive the country, how to revive America.
01:37:11.440
I said earlier that this needs to be tore down from the ground up.
01:37:20.520
Maybe we can rebuild this in a peaceful way by empowering people through exactly what we are talking about doing.
01:37:34.380
You set me on a better path than I was when I walked into this room.
01:37:39.380
Well, that's the best thing about having Chad Wright on the show, bro, because that is 100% mutual.
01:37:44.980
I guarantee it's mutual for every single person to listen to this episode, too.
01:37:55.260
Gentlemen, God bless y'all and all that you do.
01:37:57.200
You know I love you, each and every one of you.
01:38:17.580
Dude, everybody's sick of living in this virtual bullshit.
01:38:23.260
So, guys, as a reminder, pay the fee for the show, please.
01:38:27.080
If you got value, if it made you think, if it gave you perspective, which I'm very confident
01:38:49.520
Like, I don't know that you understand how powerful your voice is, but it is powerful.
01:38:58.040
I appreciate everything that you're about, everything that you stand for, and everything
01:39:03.920
And, dude, anytime you want to come on, you are more than welcome to be on.
