that's what i'm saying all right all right well uh it is it is q a man and uh it is i got some good
00:05:20.720
ones for you all right all right let's knock these out andy guys question number one andy
00:05:25.280
andy i used to be a useful idiot uh until the covet vax round two messed me up i've been dealing with
00:05:33.400
my decision for almost two years now besides the point my old friends uh i left behind when i
00:05:40.320
realized and it came to what was actually happening i found your show i share the show and i've lost more
00:05:45.540
friends along the way but i have gained more because of it now i have a few of those old friends coming
00:05:51.360
back around i hold so much hate in my heart for them because of how they treated me i'm not really
00:05:56.700
sure how to move forward with them do you have any input well i can understand that um i experienced as
00:06:05.460
you can imagine uh an enormous amount of hate myself you know this is not just within my friend
00:06:10.660
network and dj you know this is true too you know we get on here every day and say this in front of
00:06:16.080
millions of people all right we have eight figures of downloads every single month on this show um
00:06:21.520
so i understand the hate it was vicious it was fucking mean it was unrelenting it was bullshit yeah
00:06:29.100
okay and i i too have resentment for a lot of the people and a lot of the shit they said and i've had
00:06:34.100
very few people apologize there's been some people who have apologized but not many right people are
00:06:39.140
just assuming that we'll forget and i can tell you for sure i will never forget i will never ever ever
00:06:45.080
forget my friends and my family who called me up on the phone or wrote messages to me on instagram
00:06:51.020
or the followers who fucking said hey you're uh you're you're you know unhinged or you're a conspiracy
00:06:58.480
theorist or you're this or that and called me all these names for fucking years so i understand that
00:07:04.500
but here's the thing i also understand that what we were dealing with at the time was
00:07:12.500
the biggest propaganda campaign that had ever existed in human history and if you think about
00:07:19.720
the internet being new technology you have to understand that this was the first time that
00:07:25.440
the internet was fully utilized for its propaganda potential and so they weaponized this technology
00:07:31.340
that hasn't been around very long and people had never witnessed it before and i think that we have
00:07:36.260
to be reasonable that people have an expectation that is very reasonable that the people who are on tv
00:07:44.760
who are the quote-unquote experts are actually acting with their best interests in mind and it has come
00:07:52.660
to be shown over the course of the last three and a half years to most people that that's not the case
00:07:58.420
and so i do have animosity and bitterness towards a lot of these people but at the same time
00:08:08.120
i also feel sorry for them because just like you you fell for it when i was trying to warn you
00:08:14.880
okay and now you're dealing with the ramifications and i i feel like you know a lot of these people
00:08:22.140
are people who had reasonable expectations to not be lied to and when they were lied to they reacted
00:08:30.920
poorly and you know here's something that i think about a lot is that if you think back to the covid
00:08:37.100
hysteria and the way people were and then you think back to the argument of what would you have done
00:08:42.840
during the uh holocaust right everybody likes to say oh how could this have happened i would have stood up
00:08:49.460
no you wouldn't you would have been one of the people saying take them to the fucking concentration
00:08:53.560
camps and a lot of people are going to have to live their whole lives knowing that they're on that
00:08:57.640
side of history you were wrong other people were right and people like us people who were spreading
00:09:04.080
the message from the beginning are legitimately responsible for stopping what probably would have
00:09:09.840
been a genocide and the reason for the genocide was to remove the resistance and if we look about
00:09:16.100
what happened and the language that was used and the actions that were taken i fully believe that
00:09:22.140
that was their plan you know i believe that they believe that the amount of people that were going
00:09:26.060
to resist were much smaller than what actually resisted and that they plan on disposing of those
00:09:31.400
people they plan on imprisoning them or eliminating them and they there was many places in the world that
00:09:37.840
actually put people in actual camps there are places here in the united states that were building camps
00:09:43.120
and we had leaders like justin trudeau saying what are we going to do with these people we had our
00:09:48.600
president saying these people we have a pandemic of the unvaccinated these people should be shunned
00:09:53.760
from society they should be uh you know basically shamed and and you know we had all these things
00:10:01.080
happening bro the rhetoric was insane go back and watch it and uh i think if people didn't you know
00:10:06.780
see what was happening they would have been ushered off and disposed of and and for the reason of
00:10:11.980
disposing of people who were going to stand in the way of the 2030 agenda which is what ultimately
00:10:16.660
they're trying to do so um you know i don't have an answer for you uh i don't think people should
00:10:23.480
forgive and forget i think people should be very cognizant and aware that those same people who said
00:10:30.240
that you know the unvaccinated people shouldn't be put in society the unvaccinated people are are
00:10:35.720
grandma killers and they're dangerous and you know all of these people you have to remember that was
00:10:41.020
psychological manipulation and those same people are capable of being psychologically manipulated
00:10:46.560
again into the same actions or even worse actions and so i don't subscribe to this idea of forgive and
00:10:53.080
forget and move forward i i subscribe to be aware understand that they were manipulated and if they
00:10:59.640
take responsibility for being manipulated like this person has is asking the question then we can move
00:11:06.160
forward but i i personally after witnessing that and witnessing what's happened from covid to the
00:11:13.580
vaccine to black lives matter to ukraine to now what's going on in the middle east i am very very
00:11:21.360
very aware that there's a large number of people that can be psychologically manipulated into literally
00:11:28.280
murdering a large percentage of people that they don't agree with and i think you know that's very
00:11:33.640
dangerous and i think it's something for all of us to be aware of and continue to fight continue to
00:11:37.400
work towards shining the light on how we were all being manipulated um to fight each other and so when
00:11:44.360
we look at the situation as a whole we have to remember that you know the only way they can maintain
00:11:50.040
power over us is by dividing us and getting us to do these kind of things and this is why we see this
00:11:55.440
same pattern over and over again you know we saw it with covid we saw with the black square it's always two
00:12:00.660
sides yes right it's this or that and pick a side and if you don't pick a side you're a piece of shit
00:12:06.000
that that never yeah you can't even stay neutral no bro they don't allow you to so you have to stay
00:12:13.520
neutral and you have to look at them right in their fucking eye and say i don't give a fuck okay and
00:12:18.880
that's where i'm at i don't give a fuck what you think about me i'm going to say what i think i'm going
00:12:24.180
to say what i'm observing and you can call me any motherfucking name in the book see the best thing that's
00:12:28.520
happened to me over the last three years is that i have become highly conditioned to being called
00:12:32.680
names i don't care anymore i don't care i have no fear i don't give a fuck what you think which gives
00:12:38.020
me the freedom to say whatever i want to say okay so if we could all get to that point and we could all
00:12:45.220
get to that point where we say hey fuck you all right things will change in this country but they use
00:12:51.140
fear to control us and they use the fear of social rejection and social outcasting and mob
00:12:58.080
mentality to keep us from speaking the truth because when we speak the truth and we say i don't
00:13:02.760
give a fuck what you call me they lose all their power okay like when people call me shit on the
00:13:07.820
internet and i'm like yeah okay what can they do right they're punching air so like be okay with it who
00:13:16.620
cares you know the truth yeah i'm trying to i'm i'm this is about solutions this is not about who's right
00:13:23.180
in the moment we have too many people out here trying to be right and then spouting misinformation
00:13:29.200
and spouting bullshit and propaganda because they want to be right because they weren't famous before
00:13:35.000
covid like how many social media influencers do we have that nobody knew before covid who now have a
00:13:41.640
brand have a page having a way to sell t-shirts and they're monetizing that as hard hard as they can
00:13:47.480
and at the same time propagating the uh the the misinformation that's intentionally put out like
00:13:54.820
we talked about on on last friday show the atrocity propaganda these these tales that have been proven
00:14:01.260
to not be true right and they do this because they want to get likes clicks and shares and then you know
00:14:06.960
they become a pawn for the overall propaganda machine and and dude i think it's shameful i think a lot of
00:14:13.960
these people who claim to be freedom fighters and claim to be for the people and claim to be about
00:14:18.040
america are not they're about themselves and it's evident by the way that they regurgitate information
00:14:23.500
and try to be first so that they can sell some fucking shit okay that's not why i do this guess what
00:14:28.980
motherfuckers i was pretty famous before this started people knew who i was i had the number one
00:14:33.880
entrepreneur podcast on the motherfucking internet okay i was also rich okay before this happened that's just
00:14:41.040
real i'm not bragging i'm just saying stating facts i've been working for 20 years to build my life
00:14:45.880
and now i'm in a position where i thought this whole entire time i'd be able to live my life in
00:14:50.920
peace right this whole time i've been working i've been thinking fuck dude all right i'm gonna get in
00:14:54.820
my 40s i'm gonna fucking enjoy my life okay and you guys know this you listen to my show remember when
00:15:01.480
i had been talking to you guys about how i was gonna buy a second place in florida and do all this shit well
00:15:05.880
you know what that's not happening now you know why it's not happening because i have to take on
00:15:09.940
this battle now because if i don't take on this battle and i don't come in here and fucking do
00:15:14.320
this work which i do for free by the way then i'm afraid that you guys who have always listened to me
00:15:19.760
for years and years and years and years and years will never have the opportunities that i had to build
00:15:24.640
a life that i have which is my whole entire teaching prior to this happening yeah so like understand
00:15:32.220
there is a difference between people who actually want to solve this problem and create a freer
00:15:37.760
better america for the future generations and then there's a lot of motherfuckers that are just
00:15:42.660
existing because this is the only identity they've ever been able to create for themselves and they
00:15:46.780
don't give two fucks if they're right or wrong they care about the reaction and the attention because
00:15:51.000
that's the economy that we live in so to answer your question in a roundabout way um i don't forgive
00:15:57.860
people for the way i was treated because it was horrible i had people break in my house i had people try to
00:16:03.340
assault me i've had to arrest i don't know what a dozen people over the last few years
00:16:08.140
okay for harassment all kinds of shit i've had to put up with for having this voice and for speaking
00:16:13.760
the truth and it's been frustrating because i haven't been able to get you guys fully engaged
00:16:18.700
behind me to speak with me because if it was you guys and me and all of us they couldn't do anything
00:16:24.180
about it but because you're scared and you're probably scared of some fucking dumbass in your family
00:16:30.180
who talk shit to you for 10 years because they don't know what the fuck they're talking about
00:16:34.360
and they shame you for everything you've been conditioned for silence and if we would all just
00:16:39.020
wake the fuck up and we would all just say you know what i'm done with this i'm gonna say what i think
00:16:44.260
just like andy's saying what he thinks and we're gonna stop this shit the shit will stop okay so that's
00:16:50.020
what i'm waiting for to happen i'm waiting for everybody to engage and join in and preach the
00:16:55.320
fucking message of real american freedom okay i am tired of innocent people dying
00:17:00.080
i'm tired of our families being taxed into poverty i'm tired of our economy being shit i'm tired of
00:17:06.200
being taken advantage of i'm tired of being manipulated i'm tired of being purposefully
00:17:10.540
enraged i'm tired of the division i'm tired of the hate our life is not supposed to be this way
00:17:16.140
our life is supposed to be peaceful and pleasant and filled with opportunity and joy and because we
00:17:22.020
are led by a bunch of greedy fuck tyrants we aren't allowed to have that life our whole entire life
00:17:27.920
gets stolen from us that's what i'm aware of i'm in my 40s now i'm not 25 i'm not 35 i'm in my 40s
00:17:35.520
time is more valuable when you get a little bit older and when you start to realize what's actually
00:17:40.460
happening what's actually happening here is that they are stealing our fucking lives that we will
00:17:45.460
never get back okay and that matters to me i'm not here to fight this fucking battle because these
00:17:51.160
people are evil fucks we're here to fucking live life and make this place a better place and we're not
00:17:57.040
able to even do that because these people are such shitbags anyway i don't forgive any of them
00:18:04.200
they all need to be held accountable at the highest level your friends and family they're useful idiots
00:18:09.880
they don't know any better i don't forgive them either if they come around and they apologize and
00:18:14.220
they admit they're wrong and they join the team great i can fucking forgive that but trying to
00:18:19.020
pretend that like it didn't happen or they didn't say this shit i'm not with that shit bro
00:18:23.000
own your shit say you're sorry apologize to people that you fucking insulted okay and then
00:18:29.300
we can work together moving forward to fix some of this shit going on and until that happens this
00:18:34.300
these operations will continue to happen over and over and over and over again and they'll continue
00:18:38.100
to destroy our lives you know absolutely bro absolutely all right guys andy question number
00:18:44.040
two mr frisella this shit is good yes it is it does taste like a squirt you want to squirt what'd
00:18:52.660
you say you don't even know what squirt is bro i know what fucking squirts are what is it sodas
00:18:57.820
they're fucking great soda yeah it tastes like squirt i personally like the mellow yellows i think
00:19:04.380
they're underrated you ain't ever had a mellow bro i fucking love mellow yellow bro and the only
00:19:11.120
place that i know that still serves it on fountain is like penn station pretty good mellow yellow is
00:19:16.900
good bro it's pretty fucking good yeah i'm pretty sure like i saw some shit about the dye or whatever
00:19:21.060
they use in that you know it's whatever but yeah well they put atrazine in our water it makes our
00:19:26.080
balls shrink so i'm pretty sure whatever the fuck is in mellow yellow is probably not that bad well hold
00:19:30.780
on yeah what still good yeah well i'm just being honest guys andy question number two uh mr frisella
00:19:40.800
i am in my first year in college and i'm part of a division one track team one of my dreams is to
00:19:47.540
become a professional track athlete but i am not a naturally gifted athlete i had to work very very
00:19:54.520
hard to be in the position i am in now i struggle with comparing myself with others in this sport i have
00:20:01.500
to be compared to others but i believe it rules more of my headspace than it should how should i begin
00:20:07.160
to attack the issue um you should attack it the same way you've been attacking it here's what you
00:20:13.200
have to understand there's talented people and then there's people with less talent that have to work
00:20:19.340
very hard and the people with less talent that have to work very hard if they actually do the work
00:20:25.300
end up being much better than the people with just talent alone when you're young and especially in
00:20:31.460
sports but this applies to business or anything else in life when you're young and you have talents
00:20:36.040
you assume that you're going to continue to be good and you assume that you're going to continue
00:20:39.700
to perform at a high level and what happens is is you never learn how to actually follow that with
00:20:44.900
the work ethic and we see this over and over again in professional sports and all kinds of areas of
00:20:49.460
life we were just talking about this yesterday on a walk talking about being athletes in high school
00:20:54.440
and like you know going back yeah yeah yeah line on just talent yeah but what i'm saying here
00:20:58.620
is that the people who have the work ethic who have less talent end up producing much more than
00:21:06.680
the people who just have talent all right because the people who work they develop the work ethic
00:21:11.840
early because they have to to compete and then that work ethic sticks with them and they continue
00:21:16.560
to push and push and push and push and eventually their skill set gets to the level of the talented
00:21:21.120
person which is the max level for the talented person but is a mediocre level for the person who
00:21:26.360
wants to continue to work and so what ends up happening is kind of like what happened to tom
00:21:30.300
brady all right tom brady gets drafted at the end of the nfl draft reason he got drafted at the end of
00:21:35.920
the nfl draft is because he wasn't as talented as a lot of the other players but during his high school and
00:21:41.480
during his college years he developed this insane work ethic and that insane work ethic he kept while he
00:21:46.640
was playing professional sports and he continued to improve and get better and better and better and
00:21:50.700
now is considered probably the greatest nfl player ever by most people look at michael jordan michael
00:21:58.540
jordan got cut from his high school basketball team the reason michael jordan got cut from his high
00:22:03.200
school basketball team is because he wasn't as talented as the other players so what happened to
00:22:08.240
him he understood i have to work hard i have to do things that other people aren't willing to do
00:22:13.320
and because of that he developed this insane process for improving himself and over the course
00:22:19.520
of his career he kept on that process and he got better and better and better and better and better
00:22:24.340
and he now he's the greatest basketball player that's ever lived and some people consider him the
00:22:28.980
greatest athlete that's ever lived so none of these people that you consider the greatest of all time
00:22:34.460
whether it be sports whether it be business whether it be anything are the most talented people these are
00:22:39.800
people who who had a little bit of talent but had the work ethic to attach to so the fact that you're
00:22:45.580
one of those people is a gift the fact that you're someone who doesn't have the raw talent that everybody
00:22:51.400
else has around you is a gift if you match it with the discipline and you match it with the work ethic
00:22:57.260
you're going to go 10 times further than any of these other people because when they max out they won't know
00:23:03.160
how to get any better and you'll never max out because you'll continue to get better and better and better
00:23:07.560
the longer you go so obviously there's limits on physical capabilities as you go but here's the
00:23:13.200
cool thing about this process when you develop this work ethic and you develop this process of
00:23:18.000
understanding that if i work and work and work and work and work and work and work i win that starts to
00:23:23.480
apply to anything and this is why we see you know michael jordan come out of basketball and become a
00:23:28.980
multi-billionaire okay this is why tom brady comes out of football and is going to become a multi-multi
00:23:35.560
billionaire with all the projects he has going on all right this is why i'm successful okay i i was
00:23:43.000
nothing special i was never fucking special i wasn't considered smart i wasn't considered exceptional
00:23:48.760
i wasn't anything i was just someone who was a little bit had a little bit of drive and a little
00:23:54.300
bit of ambition and knew that i didn't want a regular life and i worked and worked and worked and
00:23:58.240
worked and worked and worked and worked and i have a skill set of the process of the work now
00:24:01.960
that's its own skill set okay now i'm going to continue to get better while all of my friends
00:24:08.720
who are the same age as me who might have had an advantage or rich parents or investors or this or
00:24:14.400
that they're kicking their feet up on a fucking beach in costa rica while i'm up here building a
00:24:19.320
fucking empire you see what i'm saying so like this shit if you're one of these people who is not
00:24:27.220
gifted with the natural talent and the natural ability but you understand that you can work to
00:24:32.000
develop it you're you're the right kind of person to become great that's the people that become great
00:24:37.560
we have this misconception that people think that greatness is like something you're born with or it's
00:24:43.220
something that you're gifted and it's absolutely not there's a lot of great players who were gifted
00:24:49.080
with greatness who never became great because they couldn't figure out that they needed to do the work
00:24:54.040
with it so don't be discouraged all right you're on the right path you're understanding exactly what
00:25:01.720
you are and exactly what you are is the best kind of person to be it's someone with a little bit of
00:25:06.280
talent a little bit of skill that allows them to compete in the game but also an understanding that
00:25:11.540
for them to be great they have to work their fucking ass off and that person those are the people
00:25:16.480
that people write books about that change industry that change sports that change the world it's not
00:25:22.240
the person that was born with the most talent it's the person who has a little bit of talent
00:25:25.760
and then pairs it with the insane work ethic i love that man i love that i feel like also too right like
00:25:31.500
would you agree that you know if you're one of these people you you truly do have to buy in
00:25:38.900
to whatever goal that is if it's running track like you know michael jordan the reason he had to learn
00:25:44.800
how to work hard is because he really wanted to play fucking basketball yeah you know i'm saying so i
00:25:48.480
feel like a lot of people they're not even committing to that overall objective to begin
00:25:52.000
with before the hard work even starts yeah well those people don't have a chance yeah you have no
00:25:56.680
chance of that you have to make a decision on what the fuck you're going to be it's not just for
00:26:01.360
nothing it's not just show up and work for nothing because here's the thing the the goal that you want
00:26:08.860
for yourself has to be so real and so vivid and you have to be so obsessed about it that you are willing
00:26:16.660
to suffer more than everybody else to achieve it that's the reality of achievement you have to be
00:26:22.920
willing to suffer when everybody else gives up you have to be able to endure when everybody else packs
00:26:28.700
it in and this is what creates greatness and without that vision of what you're trying to be
00:26:33.340
without that conscious decision that i'm going to do this no matter what the fuck happens you can
00:26:39.640
never achieve it because you don't have the motivation to stick through the hard times when
00:26:43.380
everybody else quits that's how it works i fucking love it i love it guys andy our third and final
00:26:49.720
question any question number three andy in my lawn care business my leaders at the top are completely
00:26:56.980
bought into the mission and vision and that rolls downhill with most of those under them these past
00:27:03.120
couple of years as the labor market has gotten even more cutthroat since covet i've noticed that some
00:27:08.840
of our newer hires aren't as quote unquote bought in and they seem to just be here for the benefits
00:27:15.340
themselves not the company as a whole we are the highest paying company in our markets with the best
00:27:20.480
benefits in our industry 401k health four-day work week etc and we treat our team extremely well
00:27:27.140
are people just that entitled now or are we missing something you're missing something all right you're
00:27:34.920
missing the understanding that if you make it too cush and too easy in the beginning people will take
00:27:40.600
advantage of you all right so they have to learn that if they work they will be rewarded and if you
00:27:45.860
give them the reward up front without them having to earn it they're going to act as you're describing
00:27:50.060
so here's the solution the solution is stop treating them like they've already won before they've won
00:27:56.520
all right figure out a way to compensate them and then paint a vision for their progress that they can
00:28:03.120
achieve within your company and make that vision so big that whatever vision they have for their own lives
00:28:09.680
they can fit that underneath your vision right if you're trying to cut lawns and that's all you're
00:28:15.180
going to do is cut a few neighborhoods these people are not going to be motivated they're not going to
00:28:19.000
show up because they're going to realize that you know all i'm getting is all i'm getting now and what
00:28:23.480
difference does it make if i work any harder so we have to create a scenario where they're driven to work
00:28:28.060
harder to achieve their own dreams and so what does that mean for you that means your vision has
00:28:34.220
to become so large that they can easily say well fuck dude if i work hard within this vision i can
00:28:39.460
afford the house i can afford the car i can afford the life i don't need to be you know worth a hundred
00:28:44.440
million dollars but like bro i can live in a nice hood i can fucking drive a nice car i can go out to
00:28:49.180
dinner at nice places if i just help build this vision okay so you're probably lacking that aspect in
00:28:55.180
your business and then you're turning around and blaming it on people for being lazy you're you've
00:29:00.600
actually got it all fucked up all right stop rewarding people when they first come in day one
00:29:05.760
yes take care of people yes do the right thing yes be fair but don't over deliver because then they
00:29:11.420
don't have any motivation to work and then on top of it create a scenario where they can very quickly
00:29:16.280
move up the ladder by executing and what you do there is you're you're creating the behavior of
00:29:20.840
achievement within the culture of your company and that's creating the drive right and then here's
00:29:25.440
how this works other people that you hire they come into your company and they talk to you know
00:29:30.800
let's say steve who's been here for for two years and steve's driving a decent truck and lives in a
00:29:35.920
pretty nice decent house and steve's telling the new guy bro when i started here i didn't have shit
00:29:40.480
okay i did this and this and this and i moved up and now i'm winning and that's going to inspire the
00:29:45.800
new guy to follow that so then you create a culture of achievement within your vision so you're
00:29:49.900
missing a few things all right you're missing the motivation built in you're missing the ability
00:29:54.640
for them to achieve their dreams and your mission you're missing most importantly your responsibility
00:29:59.660
to paint the big vision for them to work within all right nobody's going to be motivated to to work
00:30:06.240
for a mowing lawn company uh if you're just like trying to get by for yourself if you're already made
00:30:12.680
yeah that this is a common misconception amongst employers to employees all right a lot of employers
00:30:19.720
believe that they're doing these people like a big service by just offering them a mediocre or
00:30:26.060
shitty job you're not you're not going to have inspired people by offering them uh you know a
00:30:31.680
basic fucking level existence the way you're going to get people inspired is by showing them that they
00:30:36.840
can achieve a whole lot more by helping you do what it is you're doing and then you have to follow up
00:30:41.920
by actually allowing them and following through on your promise to them to provide for them the life
00:30:47.340
that they're after does that make sense absolutely okay a lot of people fuck this up don't feel bad
00:30:52.360
that you're fucking it up a lot of people do it yeah it's funny because when i was listening to to you
00:30:56.680
know like reading this question and then hearing you come to it like the word that came to mind is
00:31:01.460
like man the leadership it just feels complacent well that's usually they've almost like arrived at
00:31:06.720
whatever goal that they had as a company as leadership right like and it's completely counter to how you
00:31:12.340
you know describe the vision for all of your companies right like every single company you you work
00:31:17.060
uh or you run it's it's day one in every single one of them yeah right and that vision is massive yeah
00:31:22.240
i just i just felt complacent like i've had to describe it in the way well people don't understand
00:31:29.060
every company comes to a point where they're either growing or they're dying right and companies will grow
00:31:36.860
grow grow grow grow grow get to a point where the founder or the owner is comfortable and then they
00:31:42.180
start to regress and people can't ever figure out why that happens well the reason that it happens
00:31:46.760
is because you're no longer growing and the people that you are in the boat with no longer want to row
00:31:52.240
the boat because they don't see any forward progress for themselves ultimately people are selfish they
00:31:57.780
care and by the way they should be they should care about what they're getting out of the deal and if
00:32:02.400
you're not showing them that you're working to expand the business so that they can get more
00:32:07.080
out of the deal how do you expect them to be inspired to row the boat you can't you can't
00:32:12.620
fucking do it right man just a few things i've picked up over the years okay for me yeah i would
00:32:20.520
save you guys your whole fucking business if you listen that question closely bro i feel like there's
00:32:24.560
a lot of fucking nuggets right there man that's fucking awesome well uh that was three go pay the fee
00:32:31.280
yeah went from sleeping on the floor now my jewelry box froze fuck a pole fuck a stove counted millions
00:32:37.340
