00:00:00.000 What is up guys, it's Andy Priscilla and this is the show for the realist.
00:00:21.500 Say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality.
00:00:27.500 I'm here in my garage.
00:00:30.000 Hey, this is your first time listening.
00:00:34.620 We have shows within the show, all right?
00:00:36.820 This is Q&AF.
00:00:38.160 This is where you get to submit your questions and we give you the answers.
00:00:41.160 You can submit your questions a couple of different ways.
00:00:42.960 The first way is?
00:00:43.860 Guys, you can email those questions into askandy at andyfriscilla.com.
00:00:48.120 Or you can go on YouTube, go in the comments on the Q&AF episodes and drop your questions right there in the comments.
00:00:54.940 Other times you tune in, we have real talk.
00:00:57.260 Real talk is just five to 20 minutes of me giving you some real talk and then other times it will be 75 Hard Versus.
00:01:02.780 75 Hard Versus is where we bring people in.
00:01:06.680 It's what you heard yesterday actually with me.
00:01:08.940 We bring people in.
00:01:10.440 We talk about 75 Hard.
00:01:11.760 We talk about how it changed your lives and then we talk about how you could change your life as well.
00:01:14.660 If you didn't know, 75 Hard is the initial boot camp phase of the Live Hard program, which is available at episode 208 on the audio feed for free.
00:01:23.400 It is not a paid program.
00:01:24.760 It's one of the most popular programs in the world to get your shit together and we give it away for free.
00:01:28.980 So go to episode 208 on the audio platforms, get that program, get your shit together.
00:01:32.700 Come back and see us and you can get on our level.
00:01:35.180 How about that?
00:01:36.380 All right.
00:01:36.780 So you probably noticed a little different setting today, but we figured we'd do something a little different.
00:01:42.480 I have not only DJ here, but we also have the pastor of disaster, Mr. Von Kohler.
00:01:48.480 What's happening, bro?
00:01:49.380 I can tell I've been on the show a couple of times.
00:01:51.260 You know how I can tell that?
00:01:52.260 How's that?
00:01:52.800 Because my follower number has increased, but then I'm also getting visits from the FBI.
00:01:58.000 Oh, yeah.
00:01:58.580 Yeah.
00:01:59.060 They're knocking on your door yet?
00:02:00.340 Yeah.
00:02:00.640 They're knocking on my door.
00:02:01.840 I can tell, you know, they're surveilling me.
00:02:04.300 So it feels good to be part of the family.
00:02:05.840 It goes from following to sending weird people to your house to knocking on your door.
00:02:12.640 Yeah.
00:02:12.920 So depending on, I don't know, have you had any weirdos yet?
00:02:15.520 Oh, you know, there's always weirdos.
00:02:17.000 Okay.
00:02:17.220 Well, you might be moving up.
00:02:18.500 Good.
00:02:19.040 Anybody that gets on Real AF moves up on the list.
00:02:21.200 I don't have my own tinfoil hat, though.
00:02:23.520 You know, I don't have my own tinfoil hat.
00:02:26.040 We can get you one.
00:02:26.760 Well, we can fix that.
00:02:27.460 Yeah.
00:02:28.440 You've been on Real AF enough now where I think you qualify.
00:02:31.180 I think so.
00:02:32.080 What do preachers wear on their heads? 0.92
00:02:34.560 Uh...
00:02:35.840 It's like, you got the crown.
00:02:37.900 People haven't seen my new one yet.
00:02:39.180 Oh, I've got a new one.
00:02:39.860 Oh, you got a new one?
00:02:40.660 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:41.200 I don't know what that...
00:02:41.760 I should know this since I'm Catholic.
00:02:43.220 Did you just do a cone?
00:02:44.300 Is that called a miter?
00:02:45.220 Like a bishop hat.
00:02:45.860 Like a bishop's hat?
00:02:46.660 Yeah.
00:02:47.560 The pointy one?
00:02:48.180 Yeah.
00:02:48.580 The pointy one?
00:02:49.180 Yeah.
00:02:49.400 Yeah, I could have one of those.
00:02:51.500 Yeah.
00:02:51.740 Yeah, Tino.
00:02:52.360 Hey, we know a guy.
00:02:53.440 Yeah.
00:02:53.800 Yeah.
00:02:54.120 Tino hooked it up, bro.
00:02:55.140 He did.
00:02:55.980 He knows a man.
00:02:56.720 I got to show people...
00:02:57.440 I feel like we got to have something...
00:02:58.840 Did we send Tino anything back?
00:03:01.020 All right.
00:03:01.520 You're going to make me look like an ass right now?
00:03:02.880 Hey, Tino, check your mail, bro.
00:03:05.200 We're sending you some shit.
00:03:06.380 All right?
00:03:06.500 Without what's in your left pocket.
00:03:07.840 Yeah.
00:03:08.660 All right.
00:03:09.220 All right.
00:03:09.240 Shut up. 0.95
00:03:10.140 So, it's Q&A off, man.
00:03:12.780 Yeah.
00:03:13.380 So...
00:03:13.860 Yeah, it is, man.
00:03:14.520 I got some good ones for you guys.
00:03:15.680 Yeah.
00:03:16.540 You like that one?
00:03:17.180 You got that trademark?
00:03:18.560 No.
00:03:19.160 I think...
00:03:19.500 You can't trademark that.
00:03:20.480 It's common words.
00:03:21.300 Oh, that's true.
00:03:22.280 I mean, Trump...
00:03:23.200 He tried to trademark you're fired, I think.
00:03:26.140 Didn't he?
00:03:26.700 He did.
00:03:27.400 I remember that.
00:03:28.100 And if he didn't succeed, I'm pretty sure you're not going to succeed.
00:03:29.860 Did he actually trademark that?
00:03:31.440 No.
00:03:31.760 He tried.
00:03:32.240 It's common use.
00:03:34.300 Oh, yeah.
00:03:34.920 Because then you wouldn't be able to fire anybody.
00:03:36.660 Yeah.
00:03:37.600 I'm letting you go.
00:03:39.140 I don't know.
00:03:39.760 All right.
00:03:40.100 Run the fuck out.
00:03:41.800 All right.
00:03:43.160 Let's get into it, man.
00:03:43.920 Andy, I got some good ones for you, brother.
00:03:45.280 Cool.
00:03:45.660 Question number one.
00:03:46.820 Andy, on the last episode of Real AF, Trump turned himself in.
00:03:51.200 He was arrested.
00:03:52.000 There was a mug shot that has been released.
00:03:55.260 What do you make of his arrest?
00:03:58.680 Well, I have a lot to say there.
00:04:00.620 I think there's a lot to say.
00:04:02.140 I think everybody has a lot to say about it, apparently.
00:04:05.720 You know, first of all, I think it's a very negative thing for the government to weaponize
00:04:13.800 the justice system, because what they're failing to realize is that the pendulum is already
00:04:19.920 swinging back.
00:04:21.560 And by arresting him, and it was a terrible strategic move for them.
00:04:26.100 Yeah.
00:04:26.280 I actually think the day he got arrested, he won the election.
00:04:30.540 That's what I think.
00:04:31.240 That's a bold statement.
00:04:32.580 If the elections-
00:04:33.480 Just statistically-
00:04:34.340 If the elections are fair, which they're not, but I think he got enough people.
00:04:40.040 I think a few things happened.
00:04:42.340 He had, first of all, his mug shot is going to become probably the most famous photograph
00:04:47.480 in the history of culture.
00:04:51.320 Yeah.
00:04:51.560 All right?
00:04:52.440 Trump already had the outlaw persona, right?
00:04:57.720 But now what we're seeing and what we've observed over the last few days is we're seeing people
00:05:02.540 who voted for Biden come out and say actively, like, I voted for Biden, but this is bullshit.
00:05:10.460 And I'm not, this is not what we want.
00:05:12.080 This is not America.
00:05:12.920 And so the feeling that I think it's creating in the population is actually very good for
00:05:19.340 America because they're seeing how corrupt these people actually are.
00:05:24.780 And it doesn't matter if you're Democrat or Republican.
00:05:26.860 When you see this sort of thing happen and then you think, okay, well, what's going to
00:05:30.640 happen if these people get back in power?
00:05:32.300 That's a scary thing because now we're talking about a pendulum swinging back and ultimately
00:05:37.820 who's going to win with the pendulum swinging back and forth is the person who kills all
00:05:41.160 the other people.
00:05:42.040 From doing it again.
00:05:42.700 Yes.
00:05:43.060 And everybody understands that.
00:05:44.900 We've seen that in history over and over and over again.
00:05:48.020 And I think even the most asleep Americans are starting to wake up and realize, holy shit,
00:05:54.480 this is real.
00:05:55.320 I've seen, I've had a lot of messages from people over the last three days where people
00:06:00.040 are like, dude, I fucking hate Trump, but like, I'll vote for him because of what they're
00:06:04.940 doing to him.
00:06:05.700 And so what I think they're making is a terrible strategic mistake.
00:06:09.340 And I think all the people that are doing these things are exposing themselves to who
00:06:14.720 the corrupt people are and who the corrupt people aren't.
00:06:16.820 I think we're at a time right now where the actions of these people in the justice system,
00:06:24.040 whether they go along with the persecution or they go along with the defense of Trump,
00:06:28.840 we're very clearly going to be able to identify who is who, who are the criminals, who are the
00:06:35.420 tyrants and who are the regular people.
00:06:38.660 And, uh, you know, I think that can only help Trump.
00:06:42.380 Yeah.
00:06:42.820 Let me ask you this because you know what, what frightens me, man.
00:06:45.620 And we talk about this, obviously we know this isn't CTI, but, uh, let's relate it.
00:06:49.600 You, you are an entrepreneur, you're a business owner, you have multiple businesses.
00:06:54.180 It's safe to say that, you know, strategy, right.
00:06:56.980 And, and you're very conscious, especially when it comes to brand equity and, and, and
00:07:01.120 marketing, right.
00:07:01.760 You're very conscious on those things.
00:07:03.240 And when I see this, it's like, they don't care about the optics.
00:07:07.900 It's very obvious.
00:07:09.000 They're all in bro.
00:07:09.960 They're blatantly, they don't care about the optics.
00:07:12.560 Right.
00:07:13.080 And so it's like, when you're making strategic moves like this, as bold as they are, not
00:07:18.100 caring what the optics look like or whatever the public perception is, what can, like, what,
00:07:23.840 what does, what, what conclusion does that bring you to looking at that?
00:07:27.800 Uh, well, it tells me very clearly that they are all in like, and that's something that
00:07:33.640 the conservative base and the common sense base of America is figuring out.
00:07:37.800 Um, you know, for the last three years, as we've talked about these things, um, you know,
00:07:43.180 a lot of people, you know, as you know, uh, where's your tinfoil hat, right.
00:07:48.280 You know, Andy Frisella and DJ, they're fucking domestic terrorists.
00:07:51.720 They're conspiracy theorists.
00:07:53.000 They're irresponsible.
00:07:54.340 Right.
00:07:54.680 Um, killing grandmas and shit.
00:07:56.500 Right.
00:07:56.800 And, and now people are like, like, dude, how many messages are we getting of people?
00:08:00.660 Like the one that we put on last CTI where the guy's like, dude, I, I didn't listen to
00:08:04.700 your show because of this.
00:08:05.740 And I realized I was wrong.
00:08:06.940 Specifically the CTI.
00:08:07.900 Yeah, dude, look, I'm getting literally hundreds of those messages at this point in
00:08:13.040 time.
00:08:13.440 So first of all, I'd like to say, welcome back, uh, to you guys.
00:08:17.020 You know, now, now all the people who said, fuck you, you're only good for personal
00:08:20.680 development.
00:08:21.400 You're only this and that you should stick to this.
00:08:23.400 Those people are now coming around to realize that like, I actually wasn't off base.
00:08:27.360 And, uh, you know, so welcome to the CTI shows guys.
00:08:31.800 That's the first thing I like.
00:08:33.220 Um, but that's a, that's a snapshot of culture, right?
00:08:37.460 That's showing that across the board, even the people who detested that sort of talk, because
00:08:44.100 those people were not nice to us.
00:08:45.480 They were very mean, you know, fuck you.
00:08:47.900 You're, you deserve to be in jail.
00:08:49.860 You're irresponsible.
00:08:51.220 You're killing people.
00:08:52.340 You're a piece of shit.
00:08:53.820 All those people are now apologizing.
00:08:55.940 Not all of them, but the ones that with integrity are.
00:08:58.620 Um, so that's a snapshot of culture waking up.
00:09:02.220 That's how I see it.
00:09:03.380 And so when I think of like how it affects the brand and how it affects brand equity for
00:09:07.220 Trump, um, I think it solidifies him as an actual patriot.
00:09:10.820 And people are starting to realize that this motherfucker is like somebody that we need
00:09:17.500 to vote for.
00:09:18.140 We're going to lose America.
00:09:19.360 And, you know, to you guys who say the vote doesn't matter, I actually agree with you in
00:09:23.340 a lot of ways.
00:09:24.240 Um, I think there's a 10 to 20% fudging of the votes that they're able to get away with.
00:09:29.500 But I think with the momentum that this man is building behind him, uh, there's no way
00:09:33.860 to be able to overcome that, that deficit.
00:09:35.720 And that's why I like those of you who say, I don't believe in voting.
00:09:38.000 It's necessary for you to vote in case they do try to steal it because that way there'll
00:09:42.060 be evidence of their efforts.
00:09:44.000 So, I mean, there's a lot to unpack here, dude.
00:09:47.260 Um, but ultimately this is gassing Trump up just like we talk about on real or on CTI
00:09:52.500 all the time.
00:09:53.140 It's putting the juice to them.
00:09:55.160 Uh, and these guys who are running against them, you know, they don't have an option
00:09:59.560 but to persecute at the highest level because they understand that if they don't get their
00:10:03.420 way, the accountability that's going to occur from that is going to be severe.
00:10:07.100 I think they're also trying to like, it's almost like they're poking the hornet's nest,
00:10:10.460 right?
00:10:10.720 Like, because he's facing like over 700 years or something like that, facing the death penalty
00:10:15.240 potentially.
00:10:16.420 Right.
00:10:16.880 And if they go through with that, wouldn't that be the perfect, uh, the, the perfect play
00:10:22.820 to get the reaction from the American Patriots?
00:10:25.940 Well, I think that's something to note, dude.
00:10:27.700 I think it's very important for people to understand that it, these people are trying to instigate
00:10:33.940 a violent reaction or a mob reaction from the Patriot community in America and, uh, we'll
00:10:41.020 know when it's time.
00:10:42.040 Yeah.
00:10:42.380 We'll know when it's time.
00:10:43.240 It ain't time.
00:10:43.920 Right.
00:10:44.240 You know what I mean?
00:10:44.800 We'll know.
00:10:45.400 And everybody needs to be smart.
00:10:47.200 Everybody needs to be peaceful.
00:10:48.380 And everybody also needs to remember that like all your fellow citizens and your relatives
00:10:53.540 and your friends who are, you know, more left leaning than they have been.
00:10:57.960 Right.
00:10:58.120 Those people are all starting to wake up and you guys have to make room for those people
00:11:02.200 to wake up.
00:11:02.760 Like, like it doesn't do any good for like these people to, to come to us and apologize.
00:11:08.060 Right.
00:11:09.180 It doesn't do any good for us to be like, Hey, well, fuck off, bro.
00:11:12.320 You're an asshole.
00:11:12.980 Like, it's like, it's like, no dude.
00:11:14.520 Well, great.
00:11:15.400 This is awesome.
00:11:16.460 Welcome to the team.
00:11:17.460 You know, because that's what this is.
00:11:19.040 This is us versus them. 0.97
00:11:20.580 All the humans and all the citizens are on the same team and the top level tyrants are
00:11:25.280 on another team and the top level tyrants don't just exist here in America.
00:11:28.340 They exist all over and they're organized.
00:11:30.400 They organize themselves in like organizations like the world economic forum and NATO and these
00:11:35.460 different organizations that have been typically seen as good organizations.
00:11:40.020 But the only reason they've been seen as good organizations, because we've had people representing
00:11:44.060 our, our, our office that are affiliated with them.
00:11:46.540 Yeah.
00:11:46.780 And Trump is the first guy that actually isn't Trump is the first guy that went in and said,
00:11:50.780 Hey, fuck you guys.
00:11:51.660 We're not doing any of this stuff.
00:11:52.920 And this is the reason that he's being persecuted.
00:11:55.460 And I thought one of the best clips from the last, uh, CTI that we did besides India landing
00:12:01.140 on the moon.
00:12:02.500 All right.
00:12:03.340 Was, uh, was the clip, uh, by the black gentleman in Atlanta with the shirt.
00:12:07.980 Yep.
00:12:08.560 The new, my new favorite shirt.
00:12:09.720 Yeah.
00:12:10.460 What's it say?
00:12:11.720 Nuggets for Trump 2024.
00:12:13.240 I can't say it.
00:12:14.320 Sure.
00:12:14.840 You can't.
00:12:15.840 One new said it.
00:12:18.740 Anyway, these, listen, here's, here's what I actually think is going to happen, dude.
00:12:23.700 Um, by the way, I'm smoking a cigar.
00:12:25.840 It's not weed.
00:12:26.720 Uh, the, I actually think the shirt of Trump's mugshot and then that shirt that that guy wore
00:12:33.460 are going to be worn everywhere.
00:12:35.320 Yeah.
00:12:35.560 I think we're going to see people and dude, that's going to create a cultural phenomenon.
00:12:40.180 Potentially that changes the entire landscape because why did Trump actually, why were they
00:12:46.760 able to cheat the election?
00:12:48.320 Well, the reason they were able to cheat the election is because of this thing called the
00:12:51.420 silent majority.
00:12:52.240 The silent majority wasn't vocal the way that they should have been.
00:12:55.640 Right.
00:12:56.180 So they were able to convince people that not as many people were with Trump than what we
00:13:00.440 thought there were because half of them were fucking quiet because they don't want to offend 0.87
00:13:04.260 anybody.
00:13:04.680 Well, and the MAGA hats were too divisive too at that time.
00:13:07.400 Um, I, I, yeah, I still don't like me.
00:13:09.620 I still don't like the MAGA slogan, dude.
00:13:11.860 I don't like make America great again.
00:13:13.480 And by the way, Trump didn't come up with make America great again.
00:13:16.220 You know who came up with that?
00:13:17.360 Ronald Reagan.
00:13:18.140 That's a Reagan slogan.
00:13:19.420 All right.
00:13:19.900 So when we talk about make America great again, the reason it didn't resonate with a lot
00:13:23.920 of fucking people was because for a lot of people, America has never been great.
00:13:27.540 Right.
00:13:28.120 Like there's a lot of black America who says, what do you mean make America great again? 1.00
00:13:32.600 When was it great?
00:13:33.500 Was it great when we were slaves?
00:13:35.000 Was it great when we were persecuted?
00:13:36.380 Was it great when we were getting fire hosed?
00:13:38.360 Right.
00:13:38.800 And now black America is waking up like that gentleman in Atlanta.
00:13:41.780 And he's like, look, dude, this is the justice system they've been using against black
00:13:44.600 men the entire time.
00:13:45.920 And that's, that's a valid point.
00:13:47.500 And so like, dude, over the last three days, I've seen more black Americans start to stand 0.99
00:13:53.100 up and realize that Trump is actually fucking the opposite of what they've been told.
00:13:56.720 And I think what these two, these two shirts specifically, I think a year from now, you
00:14:01.480 will see white people, black people, and everybody wearing that shirt and both of those shirts
00:14:07.500 to create a fucking movement that we're like, dude, we're all getting along. 0.77
00:14:11.520 We're all like, fuck all these people.
00:14:12.840 We're back to America.
00:14:13.960 We can laugh at each other.
00:14:15.120 We can make jokes about each other, but we love each other.
00:14:17.300 And we're friends and we're going to work together.
00:14:18.540 Yeah.
00:14:19.380 Well, what did you think when you saw that?
00:14:21.040 Yeah.
00:14:21.360 Well, this is what I thought about all this is that, uh, you know, anybody familiar with
00:14:25.440 the end of the movie Braveheart knows that William Wallace is of course captured by the
00:14:30.500 English and Edward Longshanks and, uh, they're going to, they're going to execute him.
00:14:35.100 But instead of just executing them, they put him through this pretty rigorous torture,
00:14:40.380 uh, cruel and unusual punishment.
00:14:42.440 And when he first is carted out, the crowd is completely against him, right?
00:14:46.960 They're, they're mocking him.
00:14:48.100 They're jeering him.
00:14:49.220 But over the course of the, the execution, when they see, man, this guy's really being,
00:14:53.700 uh, cruelly treated, but he's bearing up under it in this really heroic and valiant way.
00:15:00.520 All of a sudden the crowd starts shifting.
00:15:03.280 And instead of them jeering at him, they start saying, they started saying mercy, mercy.
00:15:07.440 And he ends up inspiring everybody.
00:15:09.500 Now I am not saying that Donald Trump is William Wallace, but it's the same effect is happening.
00:15:15.240 That's correct.
00:15:15.720 Is that people are looking at Trump and they're saying, wait a minute, like there are people
00:15:20.600 who hate him.
00:15:21.300 There are people who are treating him, uh, way beyond what he deserves.
00:15:26.000 There's all sorts of foul play going on and what it's doing is it's, it's kind of generating
00:15:31.120 some sympathy.
00:15:32.020 They're seeing how he's handling it and they're going, okay, maybe this guy's not so bad.
00:15:37.120 And they're saying, if, if he is being treated this badly, what are they going to do to me?
00:15:41.660 Like, what are they going to do to me?
00:15:42.960 And who is he threatening?
00:15:44.840 And so again, I want to emphasize, I'm not putting Trump on the level of, of William Wallace,
00:15:48.620 but I am saying that the same effect is happening.
00:15:50.980 Yeah.
00:15:51.760 Oh, you know what's interesting?
00:15:54.260 Uh, for those of you that are going to ask, this is a Padron 64, uh, torpedo.
00:16:00.900 It's a good cigar.
00:16:01.640 Yeah.
00:16:01.800 It's great cigar.
00:16:02.620 And I got onto these because of my friend, Derek Barton.
00:16:05.100 Thanks Derek.
00:16:06.180 Um, I think you're a hundred percent right.
00:16:10.280 I think that's the social phenomenon that's going to, that's being created right now.
00:16:13.700 He's being made to be a martyr.
00:16:15.100 It's a terrible strategy by the left, uh, by the communists.
00:16:18.200 Okay.
00:16:18.400 Let's be real.
00:16:19.220 And you know, a lot of people who don't like Trump are being like, bro.
00:16:22.920 Yeah.
00:16:23.140 I didn't like his fucking tweets and he definitely wasn't presidential, but what the fuck?
00:16:26.680 Right.
00:16:27.360 And that's, that's the narrative that I'm hearing and seeing and observing.
00:16:30.820 Yeah.
00:16:31.060 And I'm hearing it from people that don't necessarily like what you and I do on the show every day.
00:16:34.940 Yeah.
00:16:35.320 So I think that's a big thing.
00:16:36.660 Interesting point.
00:16:37.820 Um, so do you know who Dean Stott is?
00:16:40.460 The name seems familiar, but he had him on the show a few times.
00:16:43.840 He's been on twice.
00:16:44.880 Yeah.
00:16:45.440 Um, last show he was on, we talked about kilts because he's, uh, from England and, uh, his
00:16:52.900 wife is from Scotland and we talked about the tartans.
00:16:57.980 I didn't know what a tartan was.
00:16:59.420 So they actually went and did read this is, I got to tell the story.
00:17:02.460 I was hoping you would.
00:17:04.100 Yeah.
00:17:04.200 Cause it comes up and it came up in the conversation.
00:17:06.220 So they did the research on the tartan for my heritage.
00:17:11.100 All right.
00:17:11.840 For Sella.
00:17:12.480 And what they found is fucking incredible.
00:17:15.580 It's wild shit.
00:17:16.320 So they found that my name for Sella came from a tribe in Rome that actually went through
00:17:23.200 France and went up to Scotland in the year 1100.
00:17:26.440 And they were actually called for silly and Rome went through Spain and their name changed.
00:17:32.780 And eventually when they got to Scotland, they were called the Frazier clan.
00:17:36.220 And the Frazier clan was one of the most vicious warrior clans in Scottish history.
00:17:41.800 And the Frazier clan, the leader of the Frazier clan was actually executed with, look at me,
00:17:48.580 with William Wallace by King Edward the first.
00:17:51.500 Yep.
00:17:51.960 And the phrase, this is my ancestor.
00:17:54.340 Wow.
00:17:54.800 My fucking ancestor.
00:17:56.040 The phrase you've heard, laugh your head off comes from when they executed this guy with
00:18:01.600 William Wallace, because when they executed him, he fucking laughed in their face.
00:18:06.200 And it started the phrase, laugh.
00:18:07.420 Isn't that fucking crazy, dude?
00:18:07.960 Yes.
00:18:08.220 That is crazy.
00:18:09.000 But I mean, dude, even go to your grandfather, your dad's dad.
00:18:12.520 Like, I mean, like your bloodline is full of fucking.
00:18:15.360 It's probably why I don't give a fuck.
00:18:17.120 Dude, it's pretty.
00:18:18.020 I mean, you talk about universal purpose, man.
00:18:20.180 Like, I mean, I don't know how many other clues you need other than that, but that's some
00:18:23.060 pretty crazy stuff.
00:18:24.040 Well, look, man.
00:18:24.820 I thought that was incredible.
00:18:28.960 Yeah.
00:18:29.160 You know what I'm saying?
00:18:29.820 Like, I could read the whole story.
00:18:31.540 It's a long story, but like, that's fucking incredible.
00:18:35.340 So anyway.
00:18:36.140 Yeah.
00:18:36.460 So my long lost fucking relative from like 1500, okay, was one of the dudes that was killed
00:18:44.360 with fucking William Wallace by King Edward.
00:18:47.120 That's crazy.
00:18:47.960 Yes.
00:18:48.360 Wild.
00:18:49.600 Wild.
00:18:50.000 That's fucking insane.
00:18:51.440 Yeah.
00:18:52.320 Yeah.
00:18:53.260 Speechless.
00:18:53.660 My people were pretty cool, too.
00:18:55.160 Were they?
00:18:55.520 We weren't always slaves.
00:18:58.400 Because they did one on me, too.
00:18:59.960 It was actually pretty cool.
00:19:01.040 I mean.
00:19:01.140 For the record, the reason I was looking down was because you're telling this great story
00:19:05.720 and it makes me think of when I was going through my cancer and I was watching this documentary
00:19:11.560 reality TV show called Men in Kilts.
00:19:15.200 And it's really great if you guys should check it out.
00:19:17.500 But they told the story of apparently the reason that they played bagpipes back in the
00:19:21.860 day was that it was like a, that was meant to get the, and I'm going to get it wrong
00:19:26.520 here.
00:19:26.900 So some of you who are Scottish or Irish are going to hate me for this, but I think it 1.00
00:19:29.960 was meant to get the Scottish.
00:19:31.480 Isn't bagpipes Scottish or is it Irish?
00:19:33.920 I'm not sure.
00:19:34.440 I believe it's Scottish.
00:19:35.320 Okay.
00:19:35.540 So it was meant that it was like a war anthem.
00:19:40.000 You played the bagpipes to get people psyched up for war.
00:19:43.540 Well, on D-Day, there was a guy, I mean, you know, the, the Normandy invasion, there
00:19:49.140 was a guy who I guess was one of the Scottish regulars and he didn't even have a, uh, he
00:19:54.240 didn't even have a gun or any sort of armament.
00:19:56.500 He just played the bagpipes and he was like trying to inspire everybody else around him.
00:20:02.240 It's kind of like how in revolutionary war, they play drums.
00:20:04.640 Yeah.
00:20:04.840 But it's kind of crazy.
00:20:05.720 Like what kind of, you know what it's going to be this time?
00:20:09.020 Fucking young Dolph.
00:20:10.140 Young Dolph.
00:20:11.660 Fucking right it is, bro.
00:20:13.420 To, to have that kind of like confidence and, and, uh, and I got you.
00:20:19.160 It's just amazing to me that there would be somebody who would like literally storm the
00:20:23.240 beaches of Normandy with nothing but a bagpipe.
00:20:25.900 And it made me think of that.
00:20:27.040 Some people are just have that kind of moxie, you know, we all have it. 0.99
00:20:30.400 It's been suppressed.
00:20:31.500 Let me read you this email.
00:20:32.680 So this is the email that Alana, uh, Stott sent to Emily describing this, this tartan.
00:20:40.560 The Frisella name descends from the Frisillies who come from the clan Frazier, the first recorded
00:20:45.620 in Scotland around 1160.
00:20:47.620 Simon Frazier owned land in East Lothian and Aberdeenshire, giving the name to Frazierburg,
00:20:54.500 Aberdeenshire.
00:20:57.120 This is about 40 minutes from where I was born.
00:20:59.600 This is what she said.
00:21:00.440 And I might mispronounce some of this stuff, guys.
00:21:03.580 The Frazier clan's motto is Zezus pressed, meaning I am ready. 0.62
00:21:08.460 And the clan's crest is a bucks head.
00:21:10.400 They are descended from the norm, the Norman Knights, originally crossing the Anjou district 0.96
00:21:15.420 of France.
00:21:16.060 And the name comes from the French Frazier family who themselves originated in a savage 0.55
00:21:21.440 tribe called the Frazzelli in Roman guard.
00:21:25.380 The name comes from the French word strawberry for our ease so that the strawberry became
00:21:31.240 part of the tribal badge and then onto the Frazier coat of arms.
00:21:34.240 Sir Simon Frazier fought with both William Wallace and Robert the Bruce before he was captured
00:21:41.420 and brutally hanged and drawn and quartered by King Edward the first.
00:21:45.100 Hmm.
00:21:45.300 That's crazy.
00:21:47.020 That's fucking insane, dude.
00:21:49.080 Okay.
00:21:50.200 The Fraziers at the Battle of 1544 suffered devastating losses with only five Fraziers surviving the
00:21:57.140 battle.
00:21:57.560 And it was named the Battle of the Shirts due to the heat causing the men to remove their
00:22:02.060 kilts.
00:22:02.420 So they fought with their dicks out.
00:22:05.600 Sounds about right.
00:22:07.360 All right.
00:22:07.760 The Fraziers rose to fame during some of the most important battles in Scottish history,
00:22:12.340 including the Battle of Culloden in 1745.
00:22:16.200 So they were killed down to five people.
00:22:18.560 And then in 1745 have reestablished themselves and helped them win this battle.
00:22:23.880 There are many cool stories about the clan, including the phrase laugh your head off, which
00:22:28.800 comes from the execution of Simon Frazier when he was captured by King Edward.
00:22:34.340 And during his beheading, he kept laughing at his captors.
00:22:38.540 That's crazy.
00:22:39.060 That's fucking insane.
00:22:40.140 That is.
00:22:41.560 All right.
00:22:41.900 My bloodline is a bunch of bad motherfuckers.
00:22:44.620 Real talk.
00:22:45.220 I mean.
00:22:46.880 Listen.
00:22:47.400 Yeah.
00:22:48.400 Well, listen, if they get me, I'll be laughing too.
00:22:50.080 Fuck them.
00:22:51.940 Laugh your dick off.
00:22:53.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:22:53.460 That'll be the next phrase.
00:22:54.100 I'm going to have no fucking pants on and I'm going to be laughing.
00:22:56.800 All right.
00:22:59.800 Anyway, that's what I think.
00:23:00.920 No, that's real shit, man.
00:23:01.580 That's a cool story.
00:23:02.180 Yeah, that is a very cool story.
00:23:03.380 Yeah, that's real shit, man.
00:23:04.140 Guys, in the comments, let us know what you guys think about the Trump arrests.
00:23:06.960 Let us know down in the comments.
00:23:08.260 Let's get on to question number two.
00:23:10.120 Got it.
00:23:11.200 Question number two.
00:23:11.920 Andy, I was curious about your thoughts on competition.
00:23:15.200 With all the free advice you give out, do you ever worry that someone will use it as
00:23:20.200 a blueprint to move in on your space?
00:23:22.060 Or do you welcome competition and know that most people simply won't put what you say
00:23:27.260 into action?
00:23:28.200 Or do you think about it in a completely different way altogether?
00:23:31.160 I would love to know your point of view on this.
00:23:34.580 Yeah, that's a great question.
00:23:37.520 My views on competition have evolved.
00:23:40.280 When I was a little bit younger, I think back when we were doing the original MFCEO, I wanted
00:23:45.180 to fucking cut everybody's throat and step on their fucking faces. 0.99
00:23:49.600 I realized that nobody likes you when you act like that.
00:23:53.160 So, you know, I felt very alone.
00:23:56.240 And I started to like really examine how I looked at people and looked at competition.
00:24:00.220 And how I look at it now is very different than I looked at it even 10 years ago or 8
00:24:04.900 years ago or even, you know, maybe 5 years ago.
00:24:07.640 So, I see us all as being on the same team.
00:24:15.040 And I do not believe that there's a limited amount of success.
00:24:18.600 I think there's unlimited amounts of success.
00:24:21.040 And I do give away all of my secrets, either on the show or if you join Arte, I give you
00:24:26.840 the in-depth shit.
00:24:28.160 And there's a lot of guys who own companies competitive to mine that are in Arte.
00:24:31.760 And to their credit, real talk, there's some of the biggest nutrition companies that are
00:24:37.600 out right now, those owners have sent me emails or letters or messages and thanking me for the
00:24:44.020 information because it's helped them build their companies.
00:24:46.400 And the reality of that, I think, is amazing because I think that's creating a situation
00:24:51.680 where people are going out, they're creating good ethical companies, they're employing people,
00:24:59.160 they are, you know, helping people, they're doing business the right way.
00:25:03.080 Because you have to remember, when I got into the supplement industry and the nutrition
00:25:06.520 space, it was very much an offshoot of the porn space.
00:25:11.120 It was just a bunch of hot girls with, you know. 1.00
00:25:13.900 Jacked up dudes.
00:25:14.640 Yeah, with like a bottle of protein, right?
00:25:16.620 Yeah.
00:25:16.880 And people saying, you know, to do hard work or to work hard, that was not a thing.
00:25:22.360 It wasn't a thing to say, hey, you're going to have to fucking work really hard.
00:25:26.180 We started with that back in like 2013.
00:25:29.160 And now the whole industry is like that.
00:25:31.540 Everybody understands that if you take a fucking supplement, you're going to have to fucking
00:25:34.500 work hard, which is an ethical viewpoint, right?
00:25:36.960 Because the reality is, it doesn't matter what you take.
00:25:38.940 It's not going to do the work for you.
00:25:40.340 There's nothing out there like that.
00:25:42.140 So one, I think it's created and pivoted the industry in an ethical way, which I'm very
00:25:48.540 proud of.
00:25:49.200 But two, I think at this point, it's actually pivoted in business culture as a whole to that
00:25:56.240 line.
00:25:56.540 You know, we have thousands of people in the Arte Syndicate and all these people are running
00:26:01.960 similar types of businesses to the kinds that I run, but in their spaces.
00:26:06.120 So we're now we're changing business culture.
00:26:08.540 And when I look at competitors, some of my very best friends own competitive companies.
00:26:15.200 You know, like honey, Rambod is my very best friend that I talk to on a daily basis.
00:26:21.320 That's not related to me.
00:26:23.120 No, I talk to him every single day.
00:26:24.780 I've talked to him every single day since you've been around me.
00:26:26.840 I've been around every single day.
00:26:28.360 He owns a competitive company called Evagen.
00:26:30.680 He fucking helps me with my physique and my training.
00:26:33.800 And we talk business and I help him with his business.
00:26:36.580 And we talk back and forth and trade ideas.
00:26:38.940 And there's other guys like that, too, in the industry that I have a ton of respect for.
00:26:42.380 And bottom line is how I look at it now is this.
00:26:44.960 Like, look, dude, I've I've done I've done very well.
00:26:48.140 I've made myself a very successful human being.
00:26:54.680 It's first of all, when you're the only person that's winning, it's not that much fun.
00:26:59.800 All right.
00:27:00.100 So it's more fun when your friends are winning.
00:27:02.000 All right.
00:27:02.840 And unfortunately, who you're going to become friends with in your business is probably your competition because they know the most about you.
00:27:13.640 They're in the same fight.
00:27:15.060 They understand what the fuck is going on.
00:27:17.140 And, you know, a lot of people hesitate to be friendly with their competition because they're afraid that they're going to share their secret.
00:27:23.280 Listen, you don't have any fucking secrets, bro.
00:27:25.020 There's no secrets.
00:27:25.700 It's real simple.
00:27:26.320 Do the right thing.
00:27:27.420 Do the best you can.
00:27:28.280 Work really fucking hard.
00:27:29.220 Or find the little things here and there that work and go with those things.
00:27:32.240 And they're not secret.
00:27:33.480 And so the first thing is, is I like to help my friends succeed that are in the same industry as me directly.
00:27:41.580 Like, I will get on the phone with people who own other companies all the time and fucking be like, all right, well, how can I help?
00:27:46.760 You know, that that happens every single week.
00:27:49.580 Not honey, you know, other people.
00:27:51.940 And by the way, honey reciprocates that. 0.99
00:27:55.800 Like, he has ideas, too.
00:27:56.860 I'm not just saying.
00:27:57.560 It's not.
00:27:57.940 It's a trade.
00:27:58.360 Yes.
00:27:58.680 Yeah.
00:27:59.040 So, so the first thing is, is, you know, you want to be, you, you want to be friendly with people and help them win because when you help them win, then you're not the only one winning.
00:28:09.400 All right.
00:28:09.720 And then there's the karma aspect.
00:28:11.320 When you help other people win, even when they're in competition, now you're putting out in the universe that you fucking love winning.
00:28:16.820 And when you put out in the universe that you love winning, guess what happens to you?
00:28:19.880 You win more.
00:28:20.840 All right.
00:28:21.520 So there's that.
00:28:22.360 But here's the most important part of that, of my thinking on competition.
00:28:27.000 I enjoy being friends with people who are like.
00:28:32.440 That push me that are getting good, that are being better, that are doing great things.
00:28:38.980 And it inspires me to like go hard.
00:28:42.920 You know what I mean?
00:28:43.440 And like, dude, when you're already successful and you have a lot of success, the, the amount of drive that you have, it's just not the same as when you had nothing.
00:28:53.040 It's hard to find that inspiration.
00:28:53.860 Correct.
00:28:54.340 So like when you look at your competition as a, as somebody that you're going to make better so that then you're going to get better, that's a healthy way to look at it.
00:29:03.500 And it's also a fun way to look at it because now you're friends, there's a healthy competition.
00:29:07.780 You work together, you both win more.
00:29:10.140 And, and then when you both win more, you both win more.
00:29:12.420 And that's how I look at it.
00:29:13.540 And I think, um, I think if the, I think of American culture and business, especially small business was more like that.
00:29:20.940 We'd have a lot more success across the board.
00:29:23.220 So, uh, and of course I want to fucking win.
00:29:25.940 Like, dude, I'm in competition with everybody I'm around, bro.
00:29:28.340 There's not a human being that I'm around period that I'm not trying to beat in every single way.
00:29:33.400 Like I'm trying to be wittier than you.
00:29:35.060 I'm trying to be more jacked than you.
00:29:36.700 I'm trying to be funny.
00:29:37.740 I'm trying to make more money.
00:29:38.680 I'm trying to fucking, I'm trying to do everything better, but that doesn't mean I don't want that for you.
00:29:43.280 That just means I'm trying to do the best that I can.
00:29:46.080 And if someone else is also pushing now, all of a sudden we're in this dynamic where it's like,
00:29:49.600 and you're leveling up with someone, right?
00:29:52.680 So like, you know, that's kind of my, that's my overall view on it.
00:29:57.300 I think, I think it's healthy to support people.
00:30:00.280 I think it's good.
00:30:01.500 I think it creates, uh, relationships.
00:30:04.500 And I think, um, I think ultimately you're way more fulfilled and way happier in that scenario when you approach competition that way.
00:30:12.140 But because here's the reality, the reality is you're not going to get everybody.
00:30:16.180 You're not going to get all the customers.
00:30:17.600 You're not going to get all the money.
00:30:18.580 You're not going to be the most jacked.
00:30:19.880 You're not going to be the most rich.
00:30:20.980 You're not going to be the, you're not going to be the biggest dick.
00:30:23.260 Like that's the fucking reality of life, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.
00:30:27.940 Right.
00:30:28.460 So, um, and it's cool to be around people who are also winning because you learn from them, you get better.
00:30:33.560 They learn from you and it creates great friendships.
00:30:35.800 And, and that was something I didn't understand at earlier part of my career, you know?
00:30:40.780 Yeah, I agree with everything you said.
00:30:42.180 The only thing I would add would be that, you know, urban Meyer can teach me everything there is to know about the spread offense, but pretty sure he's going to do it better than I am.
00:30:50.600 So we, you can give people the ingredients, but you're still going to make a better cake than most people.
00:30:55.320 Yeah.
00:30:55.640 But, but if I'm saying like, yeah, no, totally dude.
00:30:59.620 But if I could teach somebody like, look, man.
00:31:02.260 Okay.
00:31:02.920 Like Nick Saban had a situation where his, uh, his, the guy at Georgia, I believe used to be on Nick Saban's crew.
00:31:08.720 Yeah.
00:31:08.880 Kirby smart.
00:31:09.400 Right.
00:31:10.180 And Kirby's beaten it a few times.
00:31:12.580 Right.
00:31:13.000 And Nick's, Nick's like, like you could tell when, when Kirby beat him, Nick was fucking happy about it.
00:31:19.500 Yeah.
00:31:19.800 He was, he, he was emotional about it.
00:31:22.000 Like, bro, that's a fucking huge deal.
00:31:23.960 Yeah.
00:31:24.260 And like you, when you're winning at a level of like, when you're talking about like, you don't have any fucking like thing to worry about.
00:31:31.780 You don't have any, like, you're not starving.
00:31:34.700 You can look at it differently.
00:31:36.200 You know what I mean?
00:31:36.820 And, and the key is to look at it differently when you don't have anything because then you actually rise up with people.
00:31:42.300 Yeah.
00:31:42.800 So I want to, I want to go back.
00:31:44.400 Cause when you first answered this question, Andy, you said that that's not how you were.
00:31:48.800 And I want to ask you this, like, do you, what was that mentality that you had early on where it was fucking, it's kill everybody.
00:31:57.440 Right.
00:31:57.860 Like, would you say that that was necessary though?
00:32:00.760 Right.
00:32:00.900 Like, was that a necessary part of that journey is to have that type of drive, at least in the initial beginning?
00:32:07.600 Yeah, I do.
00:32:09.200 I think that when you don't have anything, I think it's really fucking, you're desperate.
00:32:12.980 Yeah.
00:32:13.200 Right.
00:32:13.520 You like, had you been just open, cool?
00:32:16.060 I didn't know anything then, bro.
00:32:17.360 Like now I know shit.
00:32:18.860 Right.
00:32:19.180 You know, when I, when you don't know shit, you're insecure about what you don't know.
00:32:22.020 So you're more aggressive towards the competition when you know shit and you're confident in your abilities.
00:32:26.280 I mean, let's look at my level of success that I achieved being like that versus where I'm at now.
00:32:31.640 Completely different.
00:32:32.580 Right.
00:32:32.980 Right.
00:32:33.600 And I don't think I'd be here right now had I not made that evolution.
00:32:36.600 So I think it's important for people to recognize that competition is an amazing thing.
00:32:40.400 It's actually what drives all innovations, what drives all developments, what drives all growth.
00:32:44.440 And if you could be friends with those people you're competing against, it drives, you make amazing friendships because they all know what you're going through.
00:32:51.320 You can all relate.
00:32:53.320 And then ultimately those people end up making you stay on the path and get better and better and better down their path.
00:32:58.540 Yeah, that's beautiful because what I'm getting is like basically like that mentality of the aggressiveness, fuck everybody.
00:33:03.120 That's going to get you, that'll get you pretty successful.
00:33:05.800 But there is going to be like a governor, a restriction on that limit as far as how much further past that you can go with that mentality.
00:33:13.280 Ed and I talked about this when we did my show, when he was on Real AF a while back.
00:33:19.040 Yeah, it is going to limit you if you maintain that type of personality because you're going to get on a level, you're going to try to level up and there's all these people above you on the ladder and you've got a poor attitude where you're like, fuck you guys, I'm going to fucking kill you.
00:33:30.340 And what happens is, you know, the people up on the ladder, because you have to network and you have to work with people and you have to use resources together.
00:33:39.380 And it can't just be fuck everybody.
00:33:41.560 They'll kick you off the ladder, bro.
00:33:43.100 You'll get to a certain point and the people above you will look down and be like, yeah.
00:33:47.020 And they'll all look at each other and be like, that guy's not one of us.
00:33:49.780 And they'll kick them off.
00:33:50.620 One, two, three, kick. 0.92
00:33:51.360 Yeah.
00:33:51.640 And they'll all kick them off the ladder.
00:33:53.180 And so that's what people don't realize.
00:33:55.320 And you do see this with a lot of young entrepreneurs.
00:33:58.240 I see this on the Internet now talking all this crazy shit.
00:34:01.720 And it's like, bro, the problem that you're talking all this shit.
00:34:04.800 Yeah.
00:34:04.920 You might be able to make, you know, you might be able to build a hundred million dollar company like that, but it'll never be a billion dollar company.
00:34:10.800 You know what I mean?
00:34:11.660 Yeah.
00:34:12.640 And just one more thing.
00:34:14.200 And you'll be lonely.
00:34:14.860 Yeah.
00:34:15.420 And you'll be pissed off all the time because all you're looking at is every single fucking buddy's move.
00:34:19.560 And you're like, fuck that guy.
00:34:20.500 Fuck that guy.
00:34:21.020 Fuck that guy.
00:34:21.860 And you're pissed off all the time.
00:34:23.400 It's just not a way to be.
00:34:24.560 I want to ask you this, too, because I feel like because I've seen some of those.
00:34:28.240 Those moments where people are getting kicked off the ladder.
00:34:30.660 Right.
00:34:31.060 I've seen those moments.
00:34:32.100 And we got to go into detail.
00:34:33.220 But I think what's always funny, at least from the few times that I've seen it, those people that are getting kicked off, they have no idea why that they were kicked off by who they think is just they think their shit's just stalling out, dude.
00:34:45.860 No, nobody ahead of you wants to help you.
00:34:47.640 And they refuse to help you because you're an asshole.
00:34:49.260 How ignorant is that of awareness?
00:34:50.780 Like, is that a lack of awareness thing?
00:34:52.040 What is that?
00:34:52.400 Like, yeah, I think nobody ever said, like, they never came to a realization of, like, oh, shit, I got to actually work with people to be successful.
00:35:00.180 Look, dude, people talk shit about Obama, right?
00:35:02.680 Like, they say, oh, Obama's a piece.
00:35:04.480 And I agree.
00:35:04.980 I don't like him.
00:35:05.300 Dates a man.
00:35:06.000 Yeah.
00:35:06.160 Okay.
00:35:07.120 But, you know, he said something back when he was in office that everybody got pissed off about, including me.
00:35:13.780 And he's like, he was talking about your business.
00:35:16.180 And he's like, you didn't build that business.
00:35:18.240 And he's actually right.
00:35:19.960 Because you could only do so much as one person.
00:35:22.580 You have to have people that help you.
00:35:24.120 And those people that help you are not just your employees.
00:35:26.300 They're not just your family.
00:35:27.540 They're not just your friends.
00:35:28.620 They're also your competitors.
00:35:30.360 And you have to get to a certain level to understand that.
00:35:33.460 And most people never get to that level.
00:35:35.220 And it's sad because a lot of people will build a good business, be angry doing it.
00:35:39.140 And then get kicked off the ladder and be more angry because their business isn't progressing like it should without the awareness of, like, dude, the reason your business is not progressing like it should is because all the other guys that hold the key for you to keep moving up aren't giving you any access to it.
00:35:54.540 It's your fault.
00:35:55.600 Yeah, it is your fault.
00:35:56.500 Yeah.
00:35:56.680 You know, so don't be a dick, man.
00:35:58.060 My observation is that the truly successful people are really able to do that godfather distinction between its personal or its business.
00:36:06.060 Like, in the political realm, you look back in the 80s and you had Ronald Reagan, conservative Republican president, and then you had Tip O'Neill, who was, you know, left-leaning Democrat House speaker, right?
00:36:18.500 Well, in their personal lives, they were really, really good friends.
00:36:22.180 In their political lives, they were ardent enemies.
00:36:24.720 And people used to, like, scratch their heads going, like, how is this even possible?
00:36:28.260 And they asked Reagan about it one time, and he said, oh, cocktails in the evening, pistols at dawn.
00:36:33.640 And I think that's the mentality that successful people have.
00:36:37.380 Like, I can be personal friends with somebody.
00:36:39.560 I can wish them well.
00:36:40.900 I can do whatever I can to contribute to their success.
00:36:45.500 But when it comes to going head-to-head, yeah, it's going to be a battle.
00:36:49.180 I'll tell you this.
00:36:50.100 The top 10 people I talk to on a regular basis, eight of them are competitors of mine.
00:36:55.940 That's reality in some way, shape, or form.
00:37:01.700 And you know what?
00:37:03.020 We don't give a fuck.
00:37:04.600 We're all out.
00:37:05.080 And then when I win and I fucking text them, I say, yeah, dude, listen to what happened.
00:37:08.680 They're happy.
00:37:09.420 When they win, I'm happy.
00:37:11.000 It's fun, dude.
00:37:11.980 It makes it way more fun.
00:37:13.040 Yeah.
00:37:14.240 I really want to ask this follow-up.
00:37:16.180 I don't think I've ever, I know I haven't asked you this before.
00:37:18.940 But when, that whole phrase, like, going back to Vaughn's point, the whole phrase business,
00:37:23.440 like, it's business, business is business, right?
00:37:25.620 Like, what situation was there where, like, you first learned that, like, that came to
00:37:32.820 be a true saying for you?
00:37:34.020 Like, you know, this is just business.
00:37:35.560 When did that come for you?
00:37:37.180 There's very few situations where I think that's actually true.
00:37:40.860 I think that's a viewpoint of people that actually have never experienced it.
00:37:46.520 But I think when you make a decision in business, there's always a personal aspect to that.
00:37:55.720 Like, when you have to let go of an employee, right, there's two different perspectives that
00:38:00.540 you have that suck. 1.00
00:38:01.980 They both suck.
00:38:03.680 All right, here it is.
00:38:04.620 This person's not doing their job.
00:38:06.340 They're hurting your culture. 0.72
00:38:07.820 They're not rowing the boat the right way.
00:38:10.940 They don't deserve to be here, okay?
00:38:13.300 But you also know they have three kids at home, and you also know that they have bills
00:38:16.960 to pay, and you also know that if you fucking fire them, they're fucked, okay? 0.84
00:38:23.600 On the other hand, you have to look at all the people who are rowing the boat, and you
00:38:27.140 have to look at all the people who are on the team doing what they're supposed to do and
00:38:29.820 working as hard as they can to get ahead.
00:38:32.180 And if you don't let go of this person, you're hurting these people over here, all right?
00:38:37.440 And that's a very, that's a tough spot that most people in business or as an employee
00:38:43.820 of a company, they assume that that thought never actually happens.
00:38:47.540 And the reason that, you know, a lot of people have their jobs is because there's grace given
00:38:54.780 to that discussion.
00:38:56.700 In the business.
00:38:57.380 Right.
00:38:57.780 Yeah.
00:38:58.080 And so, like, I've, you know, I think there's guys who run their business as a business,
00:39:02.020 like, hey, just fuck them, let them go fuck. 0.98
00:39:03.440 I agree with that, but I think if that's how you, if you run your business that way,
00:39:07.800 you're never going to get the bought-in culture of true human potential, of creative buy-in
00:39:14.220 amongst your movement, whatever that might be.
00:39:18.600 So I think it's just, you know, I think, and sometimes you get burned by it.
00:39:24.180 Sometimes you give somebody too much grace and they fuck you.
00:39:26.580 That's business.
00:39:27.180 Yeah, that happens a lot.
00:39:28.100 But at the end of the day, the net positive is far greater in my opinion.
00:39:31.460 Yeah, I love that, man.
00:39:32.620 I love that.
00:39:33.920 Guys, Andy, our third and final question, question number three.
00:39:38.300 Andy, this is a question about employees' leadership.
00:39:42.980 Andy, does it pay off to take employees to leadership or personal growth seminars,
00:39:48.920 or is it better to just teach leadership from within the company?
00:39:54.020 I think both.
00:39:56.880 I personally think it's better for you to learn the information and then be the teacher
00:40:01.900 of the information because then the value is coming from you, which means they reciprocate
00:40:08.980 the value, right?
00:40:10.160 So what I mean by that is if I learn something from Urban Meyer about leadership, then I go
00:40:23.500 teach whatever I learned.
00:40:24.940 And I might say, you know, I learned this from Urban Meyer, but I teach it, okay?
00:40:29.800 I think when you outsource, I think when you out, you have to be careful when you outsource
00:40:35.520 the personal development.
00:40:37.160 And a lot of people like to outsource it because they don't want to put the time and the energy
00:40:41.300 into actually learning it themselves.
00:40:42.800 They say, oh, I'll just send my guys to Jocko's leadership school and they'll come back perfectly.
00:40:47.940 But here's the problem.
00:40:49.060 When they come back perfect leaders, they don't want to lead for you.
00:40:52.620 Right.
00:40:52.940 Okay.
00:40:53.580 So there's going to lead you actually, or they're going to go somewhere where they respect
00:40:57.220 the leadership who actually taught them that.
00:40:58.860 Yeah.
00:40:59.360 Right.
00:40:59.680 So like you have to think of it from that aspect.
00:41:02.420 I think there's definite value in sending your team to learn from certain organizations
00:41:07.680 and certain people.
00:41:08.600 But I think that should also be coupled with you becoming the best teacher of personal development
00:41:14.900 and skillset that you possibly can be.
00:41:16.840 And I think the reason that a lot of people like to outsource their employees to other people
00:41:21.180 is because they don't want to do it themselves.
00:41:23.760 It's very hard.
00:41:24.880 It's very difficult.
00:41:25.740 It takes a long time.
00:41:27.040 But what they're short-sighted in seeing is that they're missing a big opportunity to
00:41:31.320 create some reciprocating value with your employees and your team.
00:41:36.260 You know, what do you think?
00:41:39.040 I think influence isn't just what is said.
00:41:41.880 It's who is saying it.
00:41:43.200 And to your point, like you can get information from anybody.
00:41:47.600 Like anybody can watch videos from Jocko or Tony Robbins or whoever happens to be the
00:41:53.420 guru.
00:41:54.220 But for you to actually exercise influence over your people, you have to be the one who's 0.99
00:41:59.340 providing the influence.
00:42:00.680 You have to be the one who's teaching because you're teaching within the context of a real 0.92
00:42:04.900 relationship.
00:42:06.040 I mean, I would argue that as great as those guys are, they're never going to have the
00:42:10.160 impact that you do as the leader of your company.
00:42:13.200 Because you're going to not just provide information, you're going to provide incarnation.
00:42:17.500 You're going to literally embody it in your day-to-day actions.
00:42:21.200 And that's going to exercise infinitely more power and influence over your people than any
00:42:26.680 guru ever could.
00:42:27.960 Why do you think it is that so many people, instead of learning this stuff themselves,
00:42:34.080 want to outsource to other people?
00:42:35.680 Do you think it's just laziness or do you think it's incompetence or do you think it's
00:42:38.380 lack of confidence?
00:42:39.400 Like what do you think it is?
00:42:40.020 I think it's a little both.
00:42:40.860 I think people don't want to work hard sort of by nature.
00:42:45.000 You have to force yourself to work a little harder.
00:42:46.960 But I also think it's probably people probably assume that leadership is having all the answers,
00:42:54.820 which I think you would agree is not true.
00:42:57.180 Leadership is not having all the answers.
00:42:58.720 It's being willing to find all the answers or to work on it until you get the answer.
00:43:03.040 And I think people just need to give themselves a little bit more credit and say, okay, I don't
00:43:09.000 have to, I don't have to have all the information, you know, in my head.
00:43:12.360 I, I'm a work in progress.
00:43:13.600 But if I show people, and you're good at this, if I show people that, you know, just because
00:43:19.520 I don't have the answer doesn't mean I can't find it.
00:43:21.960 I think that's incredibly inspiring because you're taking people along on your journey and
00:43:25.700 that's what inspires people.
00:43:27.380 I think another thing too, and I agree with that.
00:43:29.940 I think another thing too with this is that a lot of people think that leadership is almost
00:43:35.360 like an authoritarian role, like you're like a dictator role when in reality, leadership
00:43:40.000 is not about having any of the answers.
00:43:42.080 It's about being able to understand what are the answers.
00:43:44.900 And so when you're sitting with a team and you've got 10 people in the room and you have
00:43:49.960 an idea, well, those other nine people have an idea too.
00:43:52.720 Right.
00:43:53.120 And your job as a leader is to have enough humility to let all those ideas be heard and
00:43:58.600 then pick the one that's going to benefit your movement or your company or your team the
00:44:03.060 best, regardless of whose idea it is.
00:44:05.580 And ultimately I think that's where leadership's either gets respect or doesn't get respect
00:44:10.580 based upon how well they navigate that dynamic.
00:44:13.480 Because when we think about traditional bosses or CEOs or leaders, what do we think of?
00:44:19.880 You know, we think of that meme where it shows like all these people pulling that big brick
00:44:24.300 and the guy sitting on the brick is yelling at everybody or, and it says boss, right?
00:44:29.620 Or the leaders up at the front of the line pulling the brick, right?
00:44:33.660 And then that one says leader.
00:44:35.220 That's the truth.
00:44:36.460 The leadership, true respected leaders are people who do not have all the answers, but
00:44:42.240 act in what's in the best interest of all the people in their organization and organization's
00:44:48.780 goals, regardless of that comes from their own brain or other people's brain.
00:44:52.940 And I think a lot of people, when it comes to this topic of sending and outsourcing their,
00:44:58.000 their skill sets, I think, you know, a lot of people have boss mentality.
00:45:02.160 I think they think that they're going to, you know, check out on Thursday and come back
00:45:08.420 on Tuesday.
00:45:09.200 And, you know, because they sent all their leadership people to, you know, echelon front to learn
00:45:14.100 leadership, which by the way, is an awesome fucking program. 0.74
00:45:18.480 They, they think that they're just good and, you know, that'll never work.
00:45:22.180 That'll, that'll never work without your piece of it.
00:45:24.260 And so, um, you're either going to learn how to lead and you're going to learn how to teach
00:45:29.900 and you're going to learn how to create reciprocating value amongst your team, recognize the best
00:45:33.940 ideas or those quality people who are also, who want to go win, they're going to go win
00:45:38.600 for somebody who does.
00:45:40.420 Andy, I'm so, so let's say I'm a business owner.
00:45:42.540 I'm listening to this and I actually just filled out the fucking invoice to send my team
00:45:48.140 to, to, you know, this offsite training, right?
00:45:51.360 Like I don't have the, the leadership skills.
00:45:53.800 I understand there's a void.
00:45:54.880 Where do I start?
00:45:55.960 Uh, I would start by going with them.
00:45:58.160 Why don't you sign yourself up too?
00:45:59.800 Yeah.
00:46:00.420 Yeah.
00:46:00.600 Cause I was going to the lake.
00:46:01.920 Right.
00:46:02.600 Right.
00:46:03.220 Exactly.
00:46:03.660 Okay.
00:46:04.320 Exactly.
00:46:04.760 Yeah.
00:46:05.180 Okay.
00:46:05.860 I love it, man.
00:46:06.580 Look dude, reading too, man.
00:46:07.840 Like there's a lot you can learn from reading, you know, people, there's plenty of people
00:46:11.600 out there.
00:46:12.020 I don't read books.
00:46:13.080 I don't read books.
00:46:13.760 Well, you're a fucking idiot.
00:46:14.760 Right.
00:46:15.180 Because let me tell you something.
00:46:16.420 There's only two ways to fucking learn.
00:46:18.340 Two.
00:46:20.120 The first way is you go out and get your brains beat in.
00:46:22.500 You learn from your own experience.
00:46:24.020 You know what?
00:46:24.260 The second way to learn is you learn from other people's experience and you have books
00:46:28.400 that have thousands of years of human experience and every single aspect of reality that people
00:46:35.620 are unwilling to tackle or look at, or, you know, read or absorb because they think there's
00:46:43.160 no value in it because you have some of these dumb asses on the internet saying books are
00:46:47.120 outdated or I don't read books.
00:46:48.800 Well, if you don't read books, bro, I'm going to crush you.
00:46:51.480 It's going to be, it's going to be brutal crushing.
00:46:54.440 All right.
00:46:54.940 Because I'm learning from 17 other fucking leaders who have all been through the same
00:46:59.800 shit I'm going through.
00:47:00.640 Business guys, CEOs.
00:47:02.040 I've heard all their experiences of it and you're just going off of what you think.
00:47:06.500 What you think might be right.
00:47:07.380 Bro, you're going to get your ass beat that way.
00:47:09.260 Okay.
00:47:09.720 So anybody, anybody who says books are overrated, I don't read, I don't do this, bro, don't
00:47:15.500 ever buy anything from them.
00:47:17.100 Don't listen to them.
00:47:18.020 Don't fucking nothing.
00:47:19.280 Those are egotistical people who are trying to pretend like they have all the answers
00:47:23.800 when they do not.
00:47:25.480 All right.
00:47:26.240 Which is a third part of this discussion because that's the third part, right?
00:47:29.800 The third part is the people who capture all the information and then decide it's all theirs
00:47:34.200 and they didn't learn it from anybody and they're Jesus.
00:47:36.580 Nope.
00:47:37.000 Nobody likes that leader either.
00:47:38.420 All right.
00:47:39.700 So my advice is, and I don't care who this offends, if someone tells you that they don't
00:47:44.480 read books or that they don't fucking look at books, that's not someone worth listening 0.93
00:47:48.940 to because they're, they're only giving you 50% of the available information, which is
00:47:54.540 based off their own experience.
00:47:55.620 And I bet probably someone who has that most, in most cases, doesn't even have that much
00:48:00.320 experience.
00:48:01.600 So that's why we talk about reading 10 pages a day of personal development in the live
00:48:06.140 hard program.
00:48:06.820 It's a massive, massive, massive tool that most people don't utilize.
00:48:10.740 You know, there is no difference between someone who can't read and someone who won't 0.99
00:48:15.960 read.
00:48:16.300 There's no fucking difference.
00:48:17.820 It's the same thing.
00:48:19.280 Okay.
00:48:19.660 So you, most people out here are going through life as an illiterate person because they're
00:48:26.040 choosing not to utilize the available resources around them.
00:48:29.680 Think how ridiculous that is.
00:48:31.500 I'm choosing to go through life illiterate.
00:48:36.720 It's not a good idea.
00:48:38.120 No, no, it's not.
00:48:39.280 Guys, I love it, man.
00:48:41.840 I love it.
00:48:42.280 This was nice.
00:48:43.300 Yeah.
00:48:44.400 This is nice.
00:48:45.760 Nice, nice little change of pace.
00:48:47.220 Yeah, it's cool.
00:48:47.920 I mean, it's all right.
00:48:48.860 Yeah.
