What is up guys, it's Andy Priscilla and this is the show for the realest, take a bite of
00:00:20.880
the lies, the figness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality.
00:00:25.340
Guys, today we have Q and AF, this is where you bring the Q's and I bring the AF's and as
00:00:48.380
Is that, where does that fit in the hierarchy of nicknames?
00:00:52.140
You know, I think it's just getting started, so we'll just see how it goes.
00:00:57.400
Bro, White Lightning is like, that's going to be fucking on my fucking tombstone.
00:01:20.340
Okay, we got three questions, and I'm going to answer those questions, and then if you
00:01:26.680
are satisfied with the answers to these questions, or you thought they were good, or it taught
00:01:30.660
you some things, you're going to share the show.
00:01:36.660
We got three good ones for you guys, and always, guys, you can email these questions in
00:01:42.100
And with that being said, question, Andy, you talk about the bitch voice and the boss
00:01:50.960
How do you tell the difference between your bitch voice and your boss voice, and when
00:01:56.120
you actually need a break or actually need rest?
00:02:02.440
Most of the time, the vast majority of the time, it's your bitch voice.
00:02:07.600
Most humans are so conditioned to be fucking weak and soft and rest and take a break that
00:02:16.480
they've been doing that their whole entire fucking lives, okay?
00:02:19.720
So first of all, very rarely do people run into this actual problem.
00:02:25.000
More frequently, when you work reasonably hard, you are going to have a response that says
00:02:33.680
this is hard, and you're going to have to understand that it's supposed to be hard.
00:02:37.600
I am of the opinion that people cut themselves way too much slack and lean way too hard on
00:02:47.400
taking it easy, give yourself a break, you don't have to go that hard, which is why their
00:02:53.840
life fucking sucks, because you listen to everybody else whose lives fucking suck, okay?
00:03:04.040
When you hear a voice in your head that deters you from doing what it is you know you're supposed
00:03:14.220
When you've done what you're supposed to do, then it's time for a rest.
00:03:21.420
People think they're working hard when they're not working hard.
00:03:24.480
People think they're exerting themselves when they're not exerting themselves.
00:03:27.460
People think they're at their fucking limits before they're even in the realm of their
00:03:40.780
So worry less about when you need your actual rest and worry more if you've actually earned
00:03:51.040
So I wouldn't concern yourself with, do you need an actual rest?
00:03:57.140
You likely need to toughen the fuck up, which is the whole point of the program.
00:04:07.880
I can't stand, honestly, when people get, when I get that question, if I'm being completely
00:04:15.060
Most of you motherfuckers are weak as fuck, okay?
00:04:19.860
I got asked, I got asked recently, you know, if a gallon of water was unreasonable or if you
00:04:31.360
And I don't care if you like that word or not like that word or whatever, dude.
00:04:43.320
Understand that anything worth achieving is going to be difficult.
00:04:47.120
Understand that anything that you're going to be proud of at the end of your fucking life
00:04:51.280
is going to come from you telling yourself to shut the fuck up and finish what you started.
00:04:58.300
And if you don't have that capacity, you're not going to be very successful.
00:05:02.340
Like, a lot of people that try to do 75 hard shouldn't even be doing it.
00:05:12.700
They want to know when their next cheat meal is coming or when the rest is coming.
00:05:16.520
Bro, if you're fucking out here trying to, you know, wait for your next period of rest,
00:05:29.680
Like, dude, why don't you focus on what you're going to gain?
00:05:33.500
Why don't you focus on what it is you're about to do with your life?
00:05:36.820
Why don't you focus on all the skills and qualities that you're going to build within yourself
00:05:41.520
that you've never fucking had so you don't realize how amazing your life will fucking
00:05:48.100
Why don't you focus on that for once in your fucking life instead of worrying about when
00:06:03.420
And what are some quote unquote networking tips that someone, that this person should
00:06:12.300
Everybody says, oh, your first impression is going to make or break you.
00:06:17.300
If you're dealing with someone who's a fucking moron.
00:06:20.260
I can't tell you how many times I've met someone and the very first impression, I fucking hated
00:06:26.020
them only to figure out that they were exactly like me and that's why I fucking hated them.
00:06:35.920
So if you're dealing with someone who's closed minded, who's, who is aloof, who's arrogant,
00:06:45.560
But at the end of the day, what's really going to speak is who you are over the consistent
00:06:50.880
long-term, what skills you build, what kind of life you're building, what your work ethics
00:06:55.520
like, how kind you are, how you treat other people.
00:06:58.340
And those things matter much more than trying to manufacture a fucking first impression.
00:07:03.180
So what I would concentrate on is becoming a person of character and values that stands
00:07:08.260
on that with a fucking solid ass backbone that's confident, that believes in themselves because
00:07:23.460
What you really should practice on is developing yourself into one of these people who literally
00:07:28.540
permeates confidence, who literally permeates the attractiveness of knowing that I want
00:07:37.060
to know that person because they don't seem to really need anything that I have.
00:07:45.300
And it comes from really the qualities you gain in 75 hard, your confidence, your self-esteem,
00:07:52.620
your self-image, your belief in yourself, your discipline, your fortitude, your grit.
00:07:59.040
You know when you meet a motherfucker that has all those things, just like you know when
00:08:09.720
So let's stop trying to manufacture this fake fucking thing for people to have a perception
00:08:16.420
of us about, oh, first impressions, elevator speeches.
00:08:21.920
Instead, become so fucking good, no one can fucking ignore you.
00:08:25.760
Then you don't have to worry about first impressions.
00:08:27.880
I don't give two fucks what someone thinks about me because I know when they dig in or
00:08:33.020
if they observe me for a good amount of time, they'll figure it the fuck out.
00:08:36.740
And if they aren't willing to invest that time to figure it out, I don't need them.
00:08:42.920
So you guys are too concerned with manufacturing this.
00:08:48.340
It comes from getting all your likes and shares.
00:08:52.300
And, you know, a lot of you guys become slaves to the fucking program because you're just
00:08:59.120
You're dancing for your fucking next little treat.
00:09:01.680
And the treat is your fucking likes and your shares instead of being who the fuck you are
00:09:06.540
or putting in the work to become undeniably great.
00:09:10.200
Like, dude, this is, it's perception versus reality.
00:09:16.180
So stop thinking about trying to manufacture a first impression and start thinking about
00:09:21.000
becoming someone who's so fucking good they don't even need an introduction.
00:09:30.640
Everybody knows who the fuck I am when I walk in the room.
00:09:47.120
Andy, our third and final question for you, man.
00:09:50.220
Andy, what are the signs of complacency and how do you handle it when you notice them?
00:09:59.540
Honestly, I think it comes down to noticing when you start to compromise.
00:10:04.140
Um, complacency comes from compromise and the compromise in the beginning is very small.
00:10:10.260
It's doing 40 minutes instead of 45 minutes on your outdoor workout, or it's, um, eating
00:10:18.500
three crackers that, you know, weren't on your program that you weren't supposed to.
00:10:26.640
It starts at the first compromise, the compromise that you think nobody's going to notice.
00:10:34.580
I'll know it's okay because I'm going to do extra 20 minutes tomorrow of cardio.
00:10:44.440
It starts with one little compromise, which leads to a second compromise, which leads to
00:10:49.560
a third compromise, which eventually leads to nothing mattering at all.
00:10:54.560
And once you end up in your, your, and this happens gradually, it's like the frog in the
00:11:01.820
It's like the tyranny going on in our country right now.
00:11:05.840
The first little compromise that you give gives them more power.
00:11:13.760
And then to the point where you don't have any left.
00:11:15.980
This is the same thing with everything in life.
00:11:20.020
So if you want to avoid complacency, stop compromising on the small shit.
00:11:26.360
Hold your standards, hold your line, get to a point where you understand that you're executing
00:11:31.860
against the things that you said you were going to execute against and do that.
00:11:37.620
It's very fucking simple, but you know, getting to a place of comfort or getting to a place
00:11:48.340
And that's why I talked to you guys about discipline being a perishable skill.
00:11:53.780
It's something that you have to brush up on regularly throughout your life over and over
00:11:59.520
That's why whenever people say, Oh, 75 hard is not sustainable.
00:12:06.160
You're supposed to be a tune-up for your fucking brain.
00:12:08.540
Just like you would go do a tune-up in the fucking gym.
00:12:37.660
Anyway, bro, like to me, this is, I don't know.
00:12:44.320
Well, you say you, like everybody has to, like everybody goes through that.
00:12:47.620
So like what, what do you personally do when you notice yourself getting out of that?
00:12:59.880
Like, dude, we're not able to have honest conversations with our own fucking self anymore.
00:13:04.940
We tell ourselves all the shit that we know isn't even true so that we can feel good in
00:13:09.840
And instead of getting what done, what's done, it's going to make you feel good a month from
00:13:18.100
So like, bro, you have to have a finger on the pulse of your own bullshit all the time.
00:13:24.200
You have to be able to identify and be honest with yourself.
00:13:27.120
When you cut a fucking corner, you have, you cannot continue to like, say, oh, it's
00:13:35.260
And clearly you're dissatisfied where the fuck you are.
00:13:44.920
Every, everybody gets to a point where they feel complacent.
00:13:48.100
Everybody gets to a point where they get comfortable.
00:13:51.680
It creeps up on you like a motherfucking ninja.
00:13:53.500
And I'm just telling you, it's your compromises that lead to that.
00:13:58.080
It's the little compromises you make when no one's looking that lead to complacency, which
00:14:02.100
lead to comfort, which lead to you losing all your shit, whatever it is that you have,
00:14:06.920
whether it be your physical health, your relationship, your fucking business, your job or whatever.
00:14:12.200
You know, and I don't understand how hard, it's not a hard concept to grasp.
00:14:18.880
Stop compromising on the little shit and the big shit will take care of itself.
00:14:23.040
You won't get to a point of complacency or you'll at least delay it.
00:14:27.120
But I mean, being aware enough to look at yourself and say, you know what?
00:14:37.220
They lack the ability to criticize themselves in a real way.
00:14:40.920
They either overly criticize themselves and make themselves feel like dog shit or they build
00:14:47.120
themselves up to be someone that they clearly aren't and they end up getting stomped.
00:14:50.940
And the truth is usually right down the middle, right?
00:14:54.560
So being able to honestly observe your actions and tell yourself the truth is a massive skill
00:14:59.540
that people have to develop and it's called, it's being self-aware.
00:15:04.440
You know, so what is the truth of your situation?
00:15:07.520
Are you actually giving what you could be giving or are you coasting?
00:15:11.760
Are you doing the little things or are you not doing the little things?
00:15:25.500
So, so realize that you're competing against literally millions of other humans for a spot
00:15:30.980
somewhere in the realm of where it is you decide you want to be in life.
00:15:37.860
Someone else will get your spot because you're willing to compromise some of the time.
00:15:45.620
So I, you know, people like to talk about all this bullshit, you know, that everybody
00:16:02.720
I would, would it be cool if everybody got to win?
00:16:06.940
But then again, I don't know that it would be because then what we're winning be.
00:16:12.140
And the people who lose are people who cut corners and compromise and get to a place
00:16:19.800
Can't have an honest conversation with themselves.
