00:00:22.800

00:00:32.160
he made a team decision here and I got to explain it to you, so we brought in lunch for the whole
00:00:38.560
crew, we got this little place in town called Pisketti's, it is fucking amazing, Pisketti's
00:00:44.040
sponsor me, you should, been going there my whole life, we got Sal here, Sal, tell them
00:00:50.080
about Pisketti's, Pisketti's is one of those places that God invented himself and he happened
00:00:55.320
to pass it on to the Brandon family and the Brandon family has done a phenomenal job of
00:00:58.820
representing God's taste buds, yes, it is Jesus' taste buds, it's a proven fact, I read about
00:01:05.220
it, and they have also have a very significant role in the obesity of the Frisella family,
00:01:12.240
no, there is no question, this is a place you go to and you feel so good when you eat it
00:01:19.860
and you feel so guilty afterwards and you don't give a fuck, because it was worth it.
00:01:23.800
You know like the, I don't know if analogies or whatever the, where they say you smoke a
00:01:27.420
cigarette after good sex, this is like the fucking, this is what I would do after sex,
00:01:32.380
I want to eat Pisketti's because it's so fucking good.
00:01:33.840
Yeah, and then like you want to lay there and kind of bask in your fatness.
00:01:37.160
There's a story, dude, that Randy Johnson, and I don't know if it's a myth or legend or
00:01:41.300
whatever the fuck it is, that Randy Johnson used to, after he pitched, he'd get so fucked
00:01:44.820
up that he would sit there in his, in his hotel room after he pitched and he would watch TV
00:01:50.640
and he would put ketchup on his chest so he could dip the fries out of it and eat it.
00:01:56.260
Yeah, I know, but that's how I think of Pisketti's in bed, you know, like maybe I'll just set it
00:02:01.580
So dude, so Vaughn goes back and checks out the little spread we got back there, the $877
00:02:13.240
Sal asked me, he's like, man, what'd you order from Pisketti?
00:02:19.860
Dude, my Amex was, I looked at it, I was like, how the fuck do you even spend that much
00:02:24.160
So dude, so Vaughn goes back there and he's like, man, if I eat this, I'm not going to
00:02:32.000
So, you know, we don't want Vaughn to have a little gluten hangover and, you know.
00:02:38.640
So, I mean, look, we really appreciate you making that team's decision for the quality
00:02:53.480
But you know, there's actually a Pisketti's out in...
00:03:02.640
Like, I remember opening one of them one time and looking at it, I'm like, what the fuck
00:03:06.700
I remember seeing one come out of Harry's butt one time.
00:03:08.880
I hope you women out there understand how confusing tampons are to men.
00:03:13.180
Like, I look at that thing and I'm like, how the fuck does this work?
00:03:15.480
Like, it's got like a tube and it looks like a mouse inside the tube.
00:03:27.040
Dave's over here laughing like he's a fucking expert at it.
00:03:30.780
Dude, when I was in high school, I had to go through the line.
00:03:32.840
My mom wanted me to get a big box of tampons for her.
00:03:44.860
They get on the phone and everybody's like, we need a price check of tampons.
00:04:02.000
You ever had moments in your life where you just kind of step outside your life and you
00:04:05.640
kind of look around and you just feel like something big is going to happen?
00:04:18.800
Like, you know, get a little excited there, you know, in the shorts.
00:04:24.600
Oh, you have a great penchant for turning anything in that direction.
00:04:33.240
I mean, you and I have had some good conversations.
00:04:37.000
You and I have had some good conversations lately, but I just feel like...
00:04:40.380
I feel like something really momentous is going to happen soon.
00:04:45.240
But we got a lot of cool stuff coming down the pike.
00:04:48.820
I had a good talk with our team next door yesterday.
00:04:56.280
Because we're going through a big transition here at First Form.
00:04:58.500
You know, we're moving into a huge building, state-of-the-art, you know, top-notch.
00:05:14.020
You know, I sat down with the guys and I said, you know...
00:05:18.100
Because I could sense their frustration, you know?
00:05:20.720
I said, I know you guys are frustrated and things are getting stressful and that.
00:05:25.040
But it's just like we used to talk about on the MSCEO project, man.
00:05:28.640
Those times when things are, like, really fucking hard is right...
00:05:37.300
So, like, you know, we've been working hard on a bunch of projects.
00:05:40.560
You know, the guys here and the companies have been...
00:05:44.000
It's kind of weird because the timing's all coming together.
00:05:50.020
In the last half of 2019, I mean, obviously, it was good.
00:05:57.960
I mean, you went through all sorts of really terrible things, you know?
00:06:26.440
This is a really, really overused word, but it feels epic.
00:06:32.740
I'm glad you feel that way because I feel like the last six months, I've been getting kicked
00:06:38.140
But don't you feel like you're coming to the end of the tunnel there?
00:06:43.920
I swear I feel like I'm getting shot in fucking every direction.
00:06:46.800
But I feel like the life is like that, that you just get put through the grinder and then
00:06:51.480
all of a sudden something happens where it's like, wow.
00:07:01.380
Like, I think that's a big delusion that people have about, like, their own selves.
00:07:09.160
When I talk to a lot of people and we talk about, you know, hey, how you doing?
00:07:14.080
I feel like I'm just getting hit with thing after thing.
00:07:23.800
Like, you know, when you look out there and you see people living a life that you want
00:07:27.420
to live, those motherfuckers deal with the same kind of shit.
00:07:35.720
I mean, dude, you've heard it in ministry for years and years and years.
00:07:51.260
And the people who live fulfilling lives that matter, and I'm not talking just financially
00:07:56.600
in every way, those people do exactly what Sal just said.
00:08:04.620
And when they don't want to push, guess what they do?
00:08:09.920
And, you know, we've talked about this before, but I think the thing that you really, I think
00:08:13.340
if you're paying attention, the thing that you really come to understand when you start
00:08:16.040
getting up there in years a little bit is you're going to make it.
00:08:20.940
Like, you're going to take the blows and you're going to experience all sorts of bad stuff,
00:08:37.220
And we've said this a thousand times on a podcast.
00:08:40.960
It's, there are very few things in life you can't bounce back from.
00:08:49.280
But I'm coming back from that shit too, motherfuckers.
00:08:53.280
I'm going to be like the invisible man in the fucking lady shower.
00:08:56.040
Um, well, we, uh, you and I both have been watching a show on Netflix called Messiah.
00:09:12.320
I actually ended up, you told me about it, I ended up watching the whole season.
00:09:17.740
Very rarely do I like turn something on Netflix and think, man, this is worth watching.
00:09:22.020
But it's very, it's very compelling and we'll get into, I mean, we'll get into that.
00:09:24.940
By the way, dude, I found a show last night when I was, when I, cause I text Tyler last
00:09:31.820
So, so I text Tyler last night, like seven o'clock.
00:09:34.780
I just wanted to fucking have a, basically a normal night and I'm like, Hey bro, what's
00:09:40.140
And he fucking lists off all this shit and I couldn't help but think, how the fuck do
00:09:58.500
Listen, I always ask Tyler what the good shows are cause he really does know.
00:10:02.060
And I did find one though, that Narcos Mexico show.
00:10:15.020
How many times have you walked by his window when you're going in there and instead of the Netflix
00:10:24.220
I watched the first couple episodes of Narcos, the original Narcos.
00:10:28.640
I actually think that dude, what was his name again?
00:10:35.660
I actually think that Pablo Escobar was more evil than Hitler, but he just didn't have the
00:10:55.760
Everybody's capable of doing some sort of evil, but I think that there are certain people
00:11:02.180
I think there's evil, and evil is fucking evil.
00:11:13.440
Well, it's, you could argue that breaking the law, it's wrongdoing.
00:11:27.400
Evil, to me, is like the intent to do something harmful.
00:11:45.040
Do you think stealing a toy is profoundly immoral?
00:11:48.220
I guess what I'm saying is I think there's different levels of immorality.
00:11:51.860
Yes, I think there's a difference about doing something that's simply an immoral act
00:11:56.120
and then doing something that's actually profoundly evil.
00:11:58.780
Obviously, there's a difference between murdering someone and stealing a toy from the mall.
00:12:10.800
You were saying you thought fucking El Padrino was more evil than Hitler.
00:12:15.700
The point is that I actually think he could have done worse than Hitler had he had the power.
00:12:21.540
I think he would have put people in concentration camps.
00:12:25.860
Yvonne, you're going to get a lot of kickback from that.
00:12:34.000
He just seemed to really revel in money, not power.
00:12:51.080
Point being is I was overwhelmed by how bad he was.
00:12:58.140
Most people will argue because of the end result of Hitler was way worse than what the
00:13:04.360
end result of Escobar was, that Hitler was more evil.
00:13:08.320
But, you know, is there degrees to evil or just fucking evil, man?
00:13:15.700
Do you see a murder as the same, like shooting somebody in the head?
00:13:20.040
Versus like a heinous crime where they carve their eyeballs out.
00:13:26.200
See, I would, I mean, I guess it's situation dependent.
00:13:30.520
I would say, I think they're different in my personal, just because I think there's a,
00:13:40.840
Violence that is, I mean, maybe that's the sheltered inner feelings coming out of somebody at that
00:13:46.000
It takes a sick motherfucker to carve somebody's eyeballs out.
00:13:57.520
I don't buy the argument that somebody's, that, you know.
00:14:09.540
I think it's an interesting topic because, you know, you could say, I mean, if you ask
00:14:15.500
the world, if we put a poll up on Instagram, who was more evil, fucking 100% are going
00:14:20.880
And because Pablo Escobar was, is kind of branded a little bit of a hero and a little
00:14:31.880
And people want to make a lot of money and that gangster lifestyle is glorified in society.
00:14:40.800
You know, I mean, listen to every fucking rap song.
00:14:51.400
I mean, the great movies about Hitler are still fucking sad as fuck.
00:15:00.220
Imagine if Hitler had an island and Fyre Festival was hosting it on Hitler's Island
00:15:10.220
But that, that was a huge drawing point to their, to their, uh, Fyre Festival was the
00:15:26.860
I'm just saying like the difference between how, how the public perceives.
00:15:29.400
People think the island's cool because it's Escobar's Island.
00:15:32.500
But it was, it's like people that go to, uh, to, uh, mafia tours.
00:15:41.380
So there's almost a certain, that's what you said.
00:15:51.240
Well, getting back to, getting back to Messiah.
00:15:53.980
So we won't go into the whole premise right now, but it's obviously this, this very charismatic
00:15:58.900
figure shows up on the world scene and he assembles a group of people that begin to follow
00:16:05.360
him and, uh, consider him sort of the savior of, of humanity.
00:16:09.060
But, uh, it got me, got me kind of interested in, uh, looking up cults, which I know is
00:16:16.840
And although when I admit to people that cultic leaders fascinate me, I almost always get
00:16:24.220
Well, yeah, because there is a, there's an innate fascination with how the fuck you can
00:16:29.600
You know what do when people say like, you know, everybody asks that question who, if
00:16:34.000
you could spend a dinner with someone dead or alive, who would you spend it with?
00:16:40.300
And when I say that, cause dude, I said that in front of 10,000 people on events and everybody
00:16:44.200
goes, but look, dude, what I'm trying to understand is how the fuck someone could make that many
00:16:58.140
And you know, the, the, the difference is the intent.
00:17:02.920
Like I was talking to Gary V on the phone the other day and we were talking about the
00:17:07.560
responsibility that comes with your ability to influence and like, dude, he's got a, Gary
00:17:13.500
is a fucking tremendous, has a tremendous ability to influence people.
00:17:17.980
So do I, if we weren't morally connected, what kind, what kind of damage could we do in
00:17:24.140
And there's a responsibility that comes with the ability to move people and get people
00:17:28.980
gathered to put them on a right track versus a fucking immoral track.
00:17:33.280
And because people that discover they have the ability to move people a certain way, I
00:17:41.760
mean, you better fucking hope those people are morally correct or do they do a lot of
00:17:46.040
Look at all these third world countries out there with these, with these leaders who are
00:17:50.580
able to convince people to do shit that is completely fucked up.
00:17:55.220
Drink the Kool-Aid or cut people's heads off cause they're gay or rape women because they
00:18:02.960
Like, dude, like who, like who in the world could fucking think that's okay?
00:18:07.060
You know, it's just a hard, it's a hard thing to understand.
00:18:13.020
It's an interesting thing I think is for a lot of people.
00:18:18.480
So anyway, I, so I, I looked up cults and I came across this like 10 craziest cults.
00:18:26.160
And then I got to, and then I got some questions I want to ask you guys.
00:18:28.380
So one of the craziest cults was called the Honohana Sanpagyo cult.
00:18:33.620
And this was, uh, started by a guy who claimed that he was the incarnation of both Jesus and
00:18:39.420
Buddha and he could solve people's emotional, spiritual, psychological problems by examining
00:18:45.420
So a number of people apparently started, uh, amassing around this guy.
00:18:53.060
That's like one of the motherfuckers on Instagram asking all the girls for their sweaty socks or
00:18:59.320
So he apparently was doing pretty well building his cult, but the whole thing unraveled when
00:19:04.340
his followers fought back, when he instituted a $900 fee for charging to inspect their feet.
00:19:12.140
They got pissed that, uh, he was, he was charging $900 to inspect their feet.
00:19:16.640
I mean, one, that shows me that that was a really good lure for stupidity.
00:19:21.520
Like you could lure some people, but they weren't stupid enough to pay $900.
00:19:32.120
Listen, Russell Brunson, super successful dude, kicking ass with ClickFunnels, very successful
00:19:39.500
If you ask him, he'll tell you, everything's a marketing problem.
00:19:44.960
Maybe if he had charged a hundred bucks, he'd still be in fucking business.
00:19:52.360
So there's another group called the Freedomites, who were originally formed in Saskatchewan
00:19:57.280
in 1902, broke off from several different religious groups.
00:20:02.380
But Freedomites insisted on three different things.
00:20:11.040
Just running around naked like causing trouble?
00:20:12.280
Yeah, they became most famous for their all-nude public demonstrations to show opposition
00:20:22.280
It sounds like one of these fucking marches we see on fucking Instagram, where people
00:20:26.100
got their fucking shit hanging out, their titties and their dicks, and they're running
00:20:29.520
all over the world saying, you know, crazy shit.
00:20:33.980
Like, dude, you ever seen these fucking naked bike rides where everybody fucking runs through
00:20:40.740
But I mean, like, dude, nobody wants to see your shit.
00:20:44.240
I mean, and I wear all those stupid suits when I do triathlons.
00:20:55.560
But I mean, my seat, like, I would have to look at my seat differently.
00:21:09.720
I mean, I bet you the seat I have is like $2.95.
00:21:35.820
This raised in my mind the very, very important question of what would you guys form a cult?
00:21:43.220
If you had to start a cult, like, what would you call it?
00:21:54.160
I mean, but see, cult has a negative connotation.
00:22:00.200
You know, when it has a good connotation, it's called culture.
00:22:06.880
And people have a hard time, you know, understanding that.
00:22:10.080
If I was going to start a real cult, I would definitely-
00:22:15.540
It would have something to do with nudity, I'm sure.
00:22:22.300
Yeah, fucking Chinese food, egg rolls and shit.
00:22:36.100
Is that all the shit you think about on your drive?
00:22:44.120
Like, you know, Vaughn, he didn't want to do the real AF too much.
00:23:11.200
Because there's more of an air of magic and excitement at night.
00:23:18.540
Vaughn, have you ever seen Monsters University?
00:23:21.160
There's Monsters, Inc. and Monsters University.
00:23:25.880
I could see you being the head of the Monsters, Inc. University.
00:23:36.500
You could be, you know, like they do the breaking in in the mom's basement in college.
00:23:42.640
You know, like it's kind of like they're in the dark.
00:23:49.120
We're going to get real badass in mom's basement.
00:23:56.940
That show on Netflix where the fucking kids, there's like an underworld and there are monsters
00:24:11.980
I just didn't, I was at a time in my life where I was like, I don't have enough time to sit
00:24:18.340
Did you play Dungeons and Dragons in your basement?
00:24:21.300
Because when I was younger, that was very, like, that was the devil.
00:24:29.020
And plus at the time, a couple kids got killed.
00:24:32.180
Like, right when I was about the age to do that, a couple kids got so into it that they
00:24:37.420
killed each other or they formed some sort of suicide pact or something.
00:24:44.640
I did get into the superhero version of that, though.
00:24:46.680
So in your Dungeons and Dragons cult that you for sure had, did you guys have, like,
00:24:52.080
a special robe that you wore or, like, rituals and stuff?
00:25:01.620
So you guys got dressed up in your robes and you, like, did, like, a chant?
00:25:04.680
No, but I just asked somebody about, did you guys have robes?
00:25:07.660
Like, literally, like, did you wear robes before you went to bed?
00:25:19.900
It was the Jim Frisella Walmart red sweatshirt, red sweatpants, Adidas shoe.
00:25:26.860
Like, that was our, our robe was like an outfit that we got at Walmart.
00:25:33.920
But, I mean, if you want some dirt on us, we did wear tighty-whities.
00:25:43.480
And then I started realizing, like, the girls started looking at me funny.
00:25:47.520
Started getting into college, and I realized, like, I'm one of the only motherfuckers in the locker room rocking tighty-whities.
00:25:52.180
Well, so I'm older than you guys, but there was, like, tighty-whities were very standard.
00:25:56.640
And then, at a certain point, like, I think it was my sophomore year or junior year in high school, and then all through college, boxer shorts became very popular.
00:26:05.620
So, I just started wearing boxer shorts, but now I'm kind of back to the standard, you know, briefs.
00:26:14.020
I kind of liked them, and now I'm comfortable enough.
00:26:18.520
I wear boxer briefs from, and I got to be honest, like, I used to make fun of Louis Vuitton so hard.
00:26:30.920
All right, well, I thought they were fucking underpants.
00:26:40.200
I've learned to, like, because I used to wear sliders all the time after the tighty-whity transition.
00:26:44.860
But what's funny is, no, for real, like, underarm, dude, that was, like, my main investment in underarm.
00:26:49.240
Dude, I still have a pair of fucking underarm sliders that I wear now that I had in fucking college.
00:26:56.620
Actually, surprisingly, they're in fucking phenomenal shape.
00:26:59.460
Do you, when you put those on, do you reminisce?
00:27:01.460
You're like, yeah, I'm a girl on the baseball field.
00:27:18.380
Do you wear, like, crazy stuff, like leopard stuff?
00:27:24.700
I wear the fucking packs of Fruit of the Loom shit you get at Walmart.
00:27:37.580
They got a heater and a vibrator going on them.
00:27:41.120
But I promise you they're fucking worth the investment.
00:27:44.680
But I'm telling you, you're taking care of your goods, man.
00:27:55.360
There's an example of what we were talking about before the show.
00:28:12.060
So the premise, getting back to the Netflix series, the premise of this.
00:28:22.980
And what the fuck is wrong with you guys listening to us?
00:28:26.620
That they've just spent 15 minutes of their life listening to this?
00:28:29.600
They have the same conversations in their head.
00:28:33.660
But so the premise of this series is basically this mysterious figure.
00:28:40.040
Yeah, so this mysterious figure appears in the Middle East.
00:28:42.700
And he seems to have these supernatural powers.
00:28:46.260
And the central question of the series is basically,
00:28:48.400
is this guy really Jesus returning to Earth as a different person?
00:28:56.100
But I just, just generally speaking, like open-ended,
00:29:00.920
Dude, I thought the whole show, honestly, was put together really well.
00:29:05.180
From the top to bottom, the directing, the acting, the script.
00:29:07.900
Yeah, but the whole, but let's just take away that.
00:29:13.040
Well, you and I will look at it from a production value because we work together on production value literally all day.
00:29:21.240
So, I definitely notice movies and shows like that, like on their value.
00:29:25.520
But, dude, the storytelling of that show is really good.
00:29:30.180
At every point, I found myself, like, wondering, like, okay, is this dude a fraud or is he real?
00:29:39.120
And the truth is, bro, what I really thought was cool about it was, I bet that's how people felt about Jesus.
00:29:48.540
Don't spill the beans because I want to watch tonight.
00:29:51.840
It'll just have you questioning a lot whether or not what you believe inside the show, not in real life, but inside the show what you believe.
00:29:57.740
No, I totally agree because I think one of the things I always tell people is, like, because historically America is a Christian nation.
00:30:06.860
We're just, we've heard, most people have heard about Jesus from the time that they're, you know, little.
00:30:12.280
So, we're so used to him that we just think he's like Mr. Rogers.
00:30:15.720
But the reality is, when he came onto the scene.
00:30:22.220
Like, he just, I mean, clearly he disturbed a lot of people.
00:30:27.320
So, but, so what, I'm just curious, what do you think is really.
00:30:35.320
People are worried about making a fucking sales call.
00:30:37.360
Well, and what's great about the show is that it does show, like, different, it shows how the government responds to this guy.
00:30:44.480
It shows how the real, like, extremist religious people respond.
00:30:47.960
It shows how the everyday sort of person of faith responds.
00:30:57.500
Do you find the guy, do you find the character compelling?
00:31:04.000
Well, I, see, the only thing that's hard for me is I don't feel like if I were to meet Jesus now, I don't think, I think he'd be, like, compelling, but I don't think he'd come across creepy.
00:31:16.340
Dude, I think if Jesus came back, he'd come back as, like, a cool black dude.
00:31:34.800
But I couldn't see Denzel in Birkenstocks, though.
00:31:38.880
Because, like, dude, he's going to come back looking kind of like what society, you know, looks like now.
00:31:44.820
Like, that's the one thing about the show I didn't really get.
00:31:48.660
Because I didn't think, like, because the guy looks like Jesus, right?
00:31:52.640
So, like, in my mind, I've always kind of thought, like, dude, this is just weird shit that I think about.
00:31:59.960
Like, if Jesus came back, what the fuck would he look like?
00:32:02.040
And what I think Jesus would be is I think he'd be a cool dude who he'd probably say some curse words and he'd probably live a pretty normal life and he'd probably be a regular dude.
00:32:13.620
And there's no question that he would attract everyday people.
00:32:17.300
So, like, when I think of, like, the delivery mechanism of that, I think of, like, a cool, you know, like a cool hip black dude.
00:32:35.100
But, dude, speaking of Denzel, isn't it weird that he played?
00:32:39.120
At some point in the show, we'll do a prediction on that.
00:32:45.700
So, what I mean by that is, like, I mean there's certain people in society that have the ability to move people and make people feel good and make people feel cool.
00:32:57.140
And, you know, like, I don't know why I think it's a black dude, but I just feel like a cool black dude can, like, make white people feel cool.
00:33:07.860
Dude, the book of Eli, he basically brings back the word of God to society in, like, a really rough time.
00:33:12.460
I thought that book was, or that movie was genius.
00:33:21.900
Funny thing, so when I was real little and, you know, my younger brother, he would draw these pictures of Jesus, but he would always draw pictures of him like he was Arnold Schwarzenegger.
00:33:32.340
And I was like, Lance, why are you drawing Jesus so buff?
00:33:38.460
And I go, yeah, but being perfect doesn't mean you're buff.
00:33:41.400
But I always thought it was funny because in my little brother's mind, to be the perfect man, like, you look like Arnold Schwarzenegger, which I thought was kind of funny.
00:33:52.860
Like, think about this for real, because if, speaking of the show, I mean, we're getting off kind of on a religious tangent.
00:34:03.280
Yeah, well, and it's a popular series as far as I know.
00:34:06.420
Let's just say God wanted to move people here to hear that message.
00:34:14.920
He would have to send someone who other people would naturally notice, I think.
00:34:29.540
Like, it's a fucking deep rabbit hole to think about.
00:34:32.560
I mean, it's interesting that, I mean, Jesus himself was born in Nazareth, which is like a tiny little backwater nothing, you know?
00:34:39.880
And I mean, to me, what's amazing is, well, all right, so let me switch gears just for a second.
00:34:45.560
So we were talking about the different characters, right?
00:34:47.760
So you have the cynical CIA agent who thinks he's a scam artist.
00:34:51.160
Then you've got the simple, trusting Mid-America folks who are ready to follow him anywhere.
00:34:58.000
You have cynicism, and you have like almost unquestioning credulity, you know, just like, oh, yes, we're not even going to question this at all.
00:35:08.620
Like, what's the best combination of being cynical or critical but being trusting?
00:35:15.780
You know, like, what would you say to each of those people?
00:35:19.980
Who do you identify with more, the really cynical people or the really trusting people?
00:35:29.160
I think that people would do themselves a favor, generally speaking.
00:35:37.200
Generally speaking, I feel like most people are quick to believe shit.
00:35:40.140
And I think most people would do themselves a favor in society if they would, instead of just jumping into the herd mentality, that they would, you know, take a minute to do their research and decide on their own.
00:35:53.780
I think a lot of people's decisions out there aren't necessarily their own decisions because we're ingrained through our culture to kind of jump in on what's hot, right?
00:36:07.060
Like, you know, it's no different than bandwagon stuff or mob shit.
00:36:13.420
Mobs happen because there's an emotional situation happening and people don't think.
00:36:23.780
You know, most people are just quick to, because, dude, they have this thing in their ego that says, I want to be right.
00:36:33.540
And it's very hard for people, I feel like, to, because they're not aware enough or haven't reached that phase yet, and some people never do, where they consider why things are the way they are.
00:36:49.360
So, my, I would say for me, I probably am somewhere in the middle where, you know, yes, I notice when things are, seem to be, but then when I start to catch myself, like, believing it, I also then do the research to look the other way and say, okay, well, is this actually true?
00:37:21.440
We see a lot of motherfuckers that hate Trump, and you ask them why they hate Trump, they can't fucking tell you.
00:37:36.520
Well, every motherfucking man on the face of the earth has said some perverted shit at some time in their life.
00:37:45.720
What I'm saying is, you're judging someone on, that's like saying, dude, the guy jerked off one time in his life.
00:37:53.160
When every fucking dude on the earth jerked off.
00:37:57.680
So, like, you know, we can't, and that's how I see it.
00:38:04.940
And I think people would do themselves a favor, you know, just like I say about Obama, right?
00:38:10.840
Like, I fucking think Obama would probably be an awesome dude to fucking hang out with.
00:38:15.060
Bro, I'd love to have dinner with him and hang out and fucking, you know, whatever, whatever.
00:38:20.800
I just didn't like his policies of what he thought the economy should be.
00:38:26.260
So, I just think, like, people, if they took a minute to stop and say, why do I feel this way?
00:38:40.500
And just question themselves, they'd find a lot more truth in their life.
00:38:44.680
Bro, so you know that famous quote by Socrates, the unexamined life is not worth living.
00:38:50.560
Don't you think, whether it's religious people or non-religious people, the problem with most people is,
00:38:56.220
and this is what I hear you saying, is that we don't even know why we believe certain things.
00:39:01.460
We don't even think through what we do believe.
00:39:03.320
Vaughn, our society, our system has gotten so good at spoon-feeding the shit that we should and shouldn't think that people don't question it.
00:39:16.260
You know, but that comes from a violation of trust.
00:39:20.900
So, for example, I think it's reasonable that when we watch somebody on a news platform that we expect them to tell the truth and report.
00:39:44.940
It's a reasonable expectation that we, when we watch a fucking professional organization deliver some news,
00:39:56.160
And what has happened is we have a violation of trust amongst these big media companies
00:40:05.220
And people haven't caught on that they're violating a covenant between the relationship.
00:40:18.240
Now we've evolved into a scenario where we have basically a marketing company putting a message into our fucking face
00:40:28.260
that we believe, because it always has been for the past 70 years, supposed to be the truth.
00:40:38.600
And what's happening here to the media is people are slowly starting to wake the fuck up
00:40:43.720
because there's so much transparency in social media and in life that people are starting to notice,
00:40:56.560
There's not as much racial division as what's going on out there.
00:41:00.420
People aren't fucking, you know, wait a minute.
00:41:06.780
You know, like, we're starting to notice, like, some of the things they tell us are just massive exaggerations
00:41:14.900
or different perceptions on facts instead of actually delivering the facts,
00:41:21.520
which I believe is a violation of fucking trust.
00:41:24.500
And so now we have a scenario where we have a lot of people who are starting to wake up and say,
00:41:36.620
We're getting told how to think, how to live, how to eat, how to vote, how to fucking do everything.
00:41:44.560
And so I think, personally, we're on the verge of a massive awakening
00:41:56.800
And I'm not even saying that I necessarily think this is a good thing or a bad thing,
00:42:01.120
but we're now getting to the point where, you know, if something happens somewhere in the world,
00:42:05.560
you know, you got camera crews that are rushing to go cover it and people have a choice.
00:42:10.340
Well, I'm either going to watch CNN or Fox News or whatever,
00:42:15.320
or I happen to know somebody who's there right now and they're live streaming on their camera.
00:42:20.180
Who do I trust more, my buddy or the news agency?
00:42:28.180
But even in that scenario, you have to consider what your buddy's perspective is on what he's reporting.
00:42:36.160
Because there's always two sides to literally every fucking story.
00:42:40.000
And the problem is we've began to trust the message that's delivered to us too much.
00:42:45.960
Instead of us thinking and saying, okay, well, your buddy's saying something different to the news,
00:42:51.660
but he also happens to be an extremist and this, this, this, this, this.
00:42:55.240
So the truth actually is probably somewhere in the middle.
00:42:59.100
So we've lost the ability to be logical when we get information.
00:43:04.380
And that's, I think, the root of the problem amongst all of these different causes.
00:43:08.800
When we have people, you know, marching for this cause or that cause or this or that or this,
00:43:15.240
it's all because they're not really saying, well, is this the truth?
00:43:23.200
And the reason they're not is because they're emotionally invested in the cause.
00:43:28.360
It's okay to be emotionally invested in a cause.
00:43:33.160
But understand that your reasoning for being there is a fucking motions, not facts.
00:43:41.600
Like, as long as you're aware of why you're there.
00:43:46.180
And make an effort to be more critical and ask hard questions.
00:43:53.500
one of the characters sees a quote from Oprah written on a table.
00:43:58.900
And I got to hear what you guys have to say about this,
00:44:01.560
because I think this is relevant to a lot of people.
00:44:12.060
I think that most people become exactly what they believe they're supposed to become.
00:44:21.180
I think that's one of the secrets of this whole universe,
00:44:23.880
is that what you think of yourself and what you believe of yourself
00:44:30.280
And if you listen to some of the experts out there on quantum physics and metaphysics
00:44:34.760
and all these different, you know, like let's say Dr. Joel Dispenza,
00:44:40.960
you know, he's at the forefront of these types of thinkings.
00:44:45.460
Because it's also, you know, why, like, I think people who truly believe they're supposed to play hockey in the NHL,
00:44:55.620
I think people who truly believe they're going to be a fucking successful entrepreneur,
00:45:03.340
I think when people believe that they're a piece of shit and that they think I'm no good,
00:45:13.160
And so I don't think it's a, I don't think it's,
00:45:15.760
I think it's more about fixing your belief about who the fuck you are
00:45:25.920
And there's mystical shit to this, but I believe it.
00:45:37.020
Well, no, I mean, you've got to do your part of it, too.
00:45:40.000
I mean, just because you believe, right, you believe that Obama was the very best president,
00:45:49.560
I understand that, but just because you believe there is more to that story is where I have a problem with it.
00:46:02.020
And I can see where, if you were to peel back that statement, it could be true.
00:46:06.140
But left at that point, I think it's a very fucking, it's got a lot of work to be done.
00:46:13.580
There's a lot of people believe that they should have my job.
00:46:17.620
Yeah, but also a lot of people don't understand what it means to actually believe.
00:46:24.660
No, when I'm saying believe in, like, I mean, like, you know, inside your fucking heart what the fuck you're supposed to be.
00:46:33.640
Like, when I was living with my dad in 2007, after seven years of living away from home, and I had to move back in with him so that I could fucking survive in business, there wasn't a thought in my mind that I wasn't going to be a successful entrepreneur.
00:46:51.120
There wasn't me, I wasn't like, oh, well, am I supposed to be this or that?
00:46:58.840
Now, I went through a point of doubt after that, right?
00:47:04.940
I'm going to maybe go clean carpets or go do this.
00:47:07.780
But that belief of what I was meant to be always fought that.
00:47:13.260
And it turned out, you know, so far to be correct.
00:47:24.620
I think you guys are emphasizing different aspects of it, which I think what you're emphasizing, Andy, is the power of the mind.
00:47:30.900
You've got to get your mind focused on the right things.
00:47:35.740
More than just the mind, he thinks that there's actually powers at work in the universe.
00:47:40.680
I mean, the law of attraction is real, but I'm saying, like, just because you believe it, there's a whole lot of fucking work that comes with it.
00:47:48.580
And there's also the flip side of there's the subjective belief and then there's what's objectively true.
00:47:52.620
Well, that's why I don't like that book, The Secret.
00:47:57.000
The secret is the coloring book of the law of attraction.
00:48:02.500
It's because it makes it sound like if you just believe that a fucking elephant is going to show up, that an elephant is going to show up.
00:48:10.580
The truth is you have to believe and then you have to also go that direction.
00:48:18.460
Like when you know what the fuck you're supposed to be, the cards sort of align for you to become that.
00:48:24.800
But so many people believe that that should just come all the way to you, that they don't do their part and meet it at the 50 percent mark.
00:48:36.120
And my real life reflects that belief for the evidence.
00:48:41.760
So I'm not saying I'm right, but I'm doing okay in life.
00:48:45.980
So the thing that has really fascinated us, another aspect of this Netflix series that's fascinated us, is this issue, the central issue of charisma.
00:48:55.740
Because the guy that is the Messiah figure, he's a very charismatic person.
00:49:00.080
And we've always been interested, obviously, throughout the whole 300 plus episodes of the MFCO Project and in other areas.
00:49:07.700
We've talked about how do we make a really profound impact on somebody in business, in life.
00:49:15.320
Gentlemen, it has been, at the time of the recording of this podcast, it's been just a little bit more than a week since Kobe Bryant was tragically killed and his daughter, as well as the other people in those families lost their loved ones.
00:49:31.120
And obviously, a lot of people have expressed their love for Kobe, their admiration for Kobe, have extolled different aspects of his character.
00:49:40.300
Obviously, Kobe wasn't just a basketball player, not just one of the best basketball players of all time.
00:49:51.320
As a way, partly to honor him, I would love to talk about a little bit, like, what do you think was the source of his charisma?
00:50:02.420
No, I think he represented a lot of amazing qualities that people wish they had in themselves, and I think that's what people were so attracted to him for.
00:50:14.180
Whether you loved him or you hated him or you rooted for him against him, I mean, you can't deny the guy's work ethic.
00:50:23.760
And you can't deny what he did for other people.
00:50:27.540
So, like, I feel like he lived a very, like, even somewhat misunderstood but noble existence.
00:50:38.540
They aspire to be somebody who, you know, finds their niche and then goes all in on that niche and wins and then also does good things.
00:50:51.400
Because I think he represents what the dream of America is all about.
00:50:58.620
I'm just talking about finding where it is you're supposed to be, recognizing that, going all in, and then achieving in that lane.
00:51:10.480
And, you know, he did it so well that he became a legend, you know?
00:51:15.860
You know, there's a lot of guys who have done a lot of cool shit that if they died, people would say, man, that sucks.
00:51:22.860
But, like, dude, when I heard of that Kobe's death, I almost fucking threw up.
00:51:28.920
Because I think a lot of it was because he's close to my age.
00:51:31.940
And I feel like, and I don't know Kobe, I never met him, but I feel like I felt kind of aligned in what he was trying to do with his life.
00:51:48.360
Like, he worked his fucking ass off his whole life.
00:51:54.060
And I could, you know, you could see him starting to have some fun and live a little life.
00:52:01.620
And so, like, you know, I see that as, you know, that could fucking happen to me.
00:52:09.960
Like, I've been working my fucking ass off my whole life.
00:52:13.400
And so, I personally take it as a signal to, like, hey, bro, maybe you should go on a trip or two.
00:52:23.120
Or maybe you should live a little bit, you know?
00:52:25.540
That's saying get fucking lazy and abandon the reservation.
00:52:28.880
You know, but, you know, because, dude, it takes, he's got a legendary work ethic.
00:52:39.540
And when you work and put that much time into something, you're giving up a lot of shit on the front end.
00:52:45.760
And, you know, I think that's a, it fucking sucks.
00:52:55.000
Because I know in his mind he was, like, thinking, man, this is my time to live.
00:53:00.460
This is my time to do all the shit I couldn't do before.
00:53:06.120
Sal, Andy mentioned he found his niche and then he went all in and he had an amazing work ethic.
00:53:12.800
I mean, I think Kobe is the prime example of not talking about it, being about it.
00:53:17.820
And the shortcoming for me is, you know, I was never a Kobe fan because I'm not really a basketball fan.
00:53:23.180
And, you know, since his passing, you know, I dug into all the information and really learned a lot about him in the sense.
00:53:30.000
And I really, you know, I felt cheated in the sense where, you know, there was an opportunity.
00:53:36.780
Yeah, because, you know, there's pieces of people that I associate and want to be like.
00:53:42.520
And I always think, like, all right, this is to the belief part.
00:53:45.140
Find somebody who you'd like to be and emulate those aspects of their life.
00:53:49.500
And in diving into Kobe's existence, I liked it.
00:53:55.520
Like, a lot of the things that he thought and preaches and how he responds to questions is exactly how I think.
00:54:03.540
No means do I think I'm Kobe Bryant in that sense.
00:54:07.380
And when you look at not only how he led in the locker room, how he competed on the floor, how his mindset is, it's definitely not by accident.
00:54:18.720
But, again, going back to the belief, it's built out of work, you know.
00:54:22.100
And when you look at a man like that who has all that power, you know, he had his flaws, right?
00:54:28.840
And that's a huge fucking piece about life is, like, dude, you'd be a real fucking man, you've got to own your shit.
00:54:35.480
You know, talking back to the beginning of the conversation.
00:54:37.380
And then the piece of not only him being a champion and a teammate, because he was a teammate and not all of his teammates liked him.
00:54:45.260
They didn't like him because he expected more out of them than they expected out of themselves.
00:54:48.920
And I think when you look at that, especially inside the business setting, like, when I get fucking pissed off at my guys, like, I often do, like, I want more for you than you want for yourself.
00:54:58.980
And so then it creates a little bit of that competitive piece.
00:55:00.980
And so, like, diving into, you know, Kobe's life, it made me really respect the man.
00:55:06.780
And, you know, going into him being a father, that's a different level.
00:55:11.080
You know, because you look at, you know, to Andrew's point, he worked his entire life to get to this point.
00:55:15.900
And you could see it in his face and his smile and how he communicated with Gigi.
00:55:20.260
You know, being a father, like, I could only, not even imagine, I couldn't imagine, you know, what not only, because in my head, like, the first thing, this is like, I don't know, my brain's weird.
00:55:32.020
But the first thing I think of is, like, how did he respond when the helicopter went sideways or what happened?
00:55:36.360
And in my brain, thinking, because I process all negative shit like that, I think he ultimately, the first thing he did is look at his daughter and tell her he's going to be okay.
00:55:46.040
And I think, you know, the champion inside him, that's the action he took is like, hey, we're going to be fine.
00:55:51.100
And when you look at how he's lived his life with that mindset, it's really fucking awesome.
00:55:58.940
And I don't think how his greatness is, it's not an accident.
00:56:03.040
And, you know, I always tell people, like, because I talk about death a lot, like, to my guys.
00:56:06.360
And I always say, hey, when I die, the line needs to be from here to China.
00:56:09.040
And if, you know, if I live my life correctly and do what I'd like to do, it's going to show at my funeral.
00:56:15.820
And I think what we learned about Kobe Bryant that day is it shut the internet down, shut the world down.
00:56:19.880
And so at 40 years old, that motherfucker made the impact, like, the impact that I want to make, right?
00:56:25.940
So there's a level of admiration there that it's far beyond anybody that I have seen, and I wasn't even a fan.
00:56:31.500
I mean, that does, it does show someone's greatness when someone doesn't enjoy the game of basketball, but they want to watch Kobe.
00:56:42.420
All of his YouTube stuff, like, I'm watching just because, you know, there's things that you can pick up from sport to business or from sport to life.
00:56:53.520
Like, how good do you have to be to stop the world?
00:56:55.360
Well, dude, and no shit, and I've seen a lot of negative comments about people coming from people, like, saying, well, why doesn't fucking other people die all the time?
00:57:09.720
You want people to fucking make a big deal about you?
00:57:12.100
You better dedicate and go all in on what the fuck you're about.
00:57:15.580
Because people that aren't great, you don't get that shit.
00:57:19.780
That's not, to me, that's fucking people whining about the way things are.
00:57:25.060
You know, oh, well, it's not fair to fucking blah, blah, blah, so-and-so, no one cared.
00:57:31.100
Well, no one cared because it fucking wasn't valued enough to care about, no matter whose fault that is.
00:57:39.320
Whether it's the person's fault, whether it's the media's fault, whether it's the culture's fault, but at the end of the day, people don't value it as much.
00:57:55.400
And the result that you see from Kobe's ability to lead and to produce, he was producing a legacy.
00:58:03.660
You know, built through core value system of work and lead by example and being a great father and being a great teammate and being a great mind.
00:58:13.960
Like, his ability to influence the world is what made the world miss him when he was gone.
00:58:20.440
You know, and that doesn't come with just being average.
00:58:25.740
I thought it was interesting, or touching, not interesting.
00:58:31.220
You know, Gigi, the one that perished with him, was the one that he thought was the real beast, the one that was going to be better than him.
00:58:40.380
You can see it in how he communicated to her just through those videos.
00:58:49.100
And witnesses, close friends say that he took a real delight in sharing his love for the game of basketball with Gigi.
00:58:58.920
As far as charisma goes, is finding something that you have a real love and a passion for.
00:59:12.460
How do you find out what you're really passionate about?
00:59:16.980
Like, how do you find, how do you build a life that revolves around something you're passionate about?
00:59:22.100
You're only willing to sacrifice what that man was willing to sacrifice for something he's that passionate about.
00:59:27.780
Meaning, like, whenever they say you should love what you do because you never work a day in your life, the saying is kind of bullshit.
00:59:32.740
But when you look at the ability to go to the next level and the ability to be able to sacrifice relationships with your friends and sacrifice weekends and sacrifice nights and Christmas and New Year's Day, you can only do that.
00:59:48.760
And it's only palatable when you can figure out that that's something you'd love to fucking do.
00:59:54.240
You know, when you look at, like, why did he go to the gym at 3 o'clock?
00:59:57.760
Because he cared so deeply about the fucking game and being the greatest version of him that he was willing to sacrifice whatever that took to get there.
01:00:03.960
And if you're just willing, I mean, this is the 9 to 5 mentality.
01:00:06.820
If you struggle to be 9 to 5, like, you're not passionate about that.
01:00:14.320
At the end of your time, no one's going to give a fuck.
01:00:16.520
Yeah, and that's three or four people going to fucking hurt for about a week.
01:00:19.820
But I think that's the thing where passion should be the driver for your ability to find success, you know?
01:00:27.360
There's just a lot of motherfuckers out there that talk about wanting to have a legacy and don't do nothing to fucking create any kind of fucking legacy.
01:00:35.100
You don't get the fucking prize without doing the work.
01:00:37.260
If you want to matter when no one's fucking, when you ain't around, you want your shit to matter, you better do some shit that fucking matters.
01:00:45.280
I don't know how, I didn't make the fucking rules.
01:00:54.560
It's like, the problem we have in this whole fucking scenario is that people just aren't willing to accept the way things are.
01:01:07.100
Like, yes, I understand that every single person who dies tragically should get, you know, it's sad.
01:01:17.280
But the truth is that unless you do the work while the fuck you're here, nobody's really going to care.
01:01:26.400
But the people you, when people talk about legacy, they're talking about the world, right?
01:01:35.580
Well, the world has to know who the fuck you are for them to think anything.
01:01:39.460
You want to talk about narcissism at its finest.
01:01:41.660
I mean, I want the world to know my name when I'm dead because I want them to know that.
01:01:48.640
So I'm willing to sacrifice whatever I got to do because, you know, your name is infinite.
01:01:58.920
Well, the truth is, bro, is that legacy isn't really mad.
01:02:02.180
Legacy doesn't really, if you really think about legacy, it really has nothing to do with people remembering your name.
01:02:09.280
It has to do with the effects of what the people built in their own lives based around how you influence them to build that.
01:02:17.080
So there's a lot of people who have an amazing legacy and no one knows who the fuck their name is.
01:02:22.200
What I'm saying is if you want a fucking public legacy, you got to do things in the fucking public.
01:02:28.320
I see these motherfuckers commenting on people's shit saying, oh, well, fucking Kobe, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:02:38.340
If the world doesn't know who the fuck you are or what you stand for or what you do or nobody's going to.
01:02:46.180
Yeah, I mean, I think in that scenario, if you're willing to throw shade, you should probably go check yourself in the mirror.
01:02:55.820
But I mean, I'm assuming that there's not one listener inside this audience that is that type of person.
01:03:02.760
But if there is, you need to go look in the mirror.
01:03:07.540
So the quote that Kobe wanted to be remembered by is this, to think of me as a person that's overachieved, that would mean a lot to me.
01:03:16.960
That means I put a lot of work in and squeezed every ounce of juice out of this orange that I could.
01:03:26.260
I mean, I don't, I mean, that's the thing, right?
01:03:28.080
Like, I don't look at him and I don't look at Kobe and say he was fucking lucky or say he was talented or say anything.
01:03:34.400
I look at Kobe and I say, there's a fucker that, that got it.
01:03:39.540
There's a guy who identified his natural propensity to do a certain thing and went all in on it.
01:03:44.540
And I, and, and as a result, he created greatness and that greatness inspired lots and lots of people.
01:03:52.920
I watched a, I watched a phenomenal video on him and he was talking about, you know, like a lot of people will say that I was talented.
01:04:06.640
I was not, I was quick, but I wasn't the quickest guy.
01:04:08.820
Like, I could shoot, but I wasn't the best shooter.
01:04:10.720
And so, he identified all his weaknesses and then went in and put the work in to make the most out of it.
01:04:16.360
And I think the translation to life there is like, you know, people have, you know, quote, what is success?
01:04:21.420
Well, success is finding what your ability is and maximizing that fucking ability.
01:04:28.160
Did he work his ass off to take that gift and put him to be one of the greats of all times?
01:04:33.960
And I think when you talk about squeezing the orange, yes, he had a nice orange.
01:04:38.140
However, he squeezed the fuck out of that orange.
01:04:42.400
Well, we all definitely pray that he rests in peace and good stuff, guys.
01:04:47.260
Hey, not to have an awkward transition, but I'll do one anyway.
01:04:54.760
So, I put out a call for questions for you guys for some Q&As.
01:05:11.680
So, I'll start with one of the lighter ones, which is, this is one from T-Boy, The Rula.
01:05:23.580
So, Ty actually just wants Andy's breakdown of the whole cannabis industry.
01:05:29.220
He said, Andy said he got out of smoking when he was 25, hardcore smoking.
01:05:34.180
I just need you guys to elaborate on what you think about the whole trends in cannabis
01:05:38.560
and the cannabis industry and good, bad, and the ugly.
01:05:49.560
First of all, why the fuck was it ever illegal in the first place?
01:05:54.980
It's much less impairing than alcohol, in my opinion.
01:06:03.880
Tyler, you should look that up while I'm talking and then tell me the facts.
01:06:07.080
But, in my opinion, I feel far less impaired when I smoke marijuana than when I drink alcohol.
01:06:16.720
When I smoke marijuana, bad shit does not happen.
01:06:20.200
And so, I have to question why the fuck it was ever illegal in the first place.
01:06:25.240
I've always thought that it should never be illegal.
01:06:27.440
I've always thought it was insane that you put people in prison for years and years and years and years
01:06:32.980
for fucking selling something that just doesn't do bad shit to people.
01:06:39.880
Now, I know there's people who are going to say, oh, it's a gateway drug.
01:06:52.660
I think people who have a propensity to be that way are going to be that way regardless.
01:06:57.900
And if you're going to say that marijuana is a gateway, alcohol is a fucking gateway to a lot of bad shit.
01:07:05.060
So, and then if you take the physical effects of the product, they're far less than fucking alcohol.
01:07:12.780
So, to me, when I examine all the facts, I see a scenario where we had a society who felt like it should be morally wrong, or it is morally wrong.
01:07:33.100
What's the image that pops in your head when you think of a fucking person who smokes marijuana?
01:07:43.460
Because I know a lot of fucking, I know a lot of big CEOs that are rich as fuck, that are highly fucking effective, that smoke weed every day.
01:07:58.180
Right, so really what we've had here is we've had a scenario where the government finally woke the fuck up and realized, holy shit, dude, we could solve a lot of problems by legalizing this shit.
01:08:14.560
We could do all these things and create a new economy that helps fucking the country overall by not doing a lot of damage.
01:08:22.900
So, my opinion on the cannabis industry from a moral standpoint is like, dude, it should have happened a long time ago.
01:08:31.560
Now, for me, economic, I think it's the greatest fucking opportunity of our lifetime.
01:08:42.980
We have manufacturing licenses, cultivation licenses.
01:08:52.540
I think it's the greatest opportunity for business in our life.
01:08:58.280
Now, it's not the greatest opportunity for everybody because it's a high barrier to entry, and I like the way the government's doing that.
01:09:05.160
They're being strategic about how they're divvying out the licenses and who gets them and who doesn't, and they're trying to create – I know this just from being on the operational – to being on the end of it of trying to get these licenses.
01:09:19.480
They're trying to bring integrity to the business.
01:09:21.660
They're trying to keep the local fucking weed slinger from the corner out of the game.
01:09:31.300
And so, dude, I think it's a fucking hell of an opportunity, and I think marijuana does a lot of good for a lot of people.
01:09:43.480
I just know it does because I fucking smoke it.
01:09:58.780
It's just a personal vendetta because everybody – now everybody and their brother is like, oh, dude, I'll pay you 10 grand.
01:10:06.520
Now, in that regard, I've been smoking a long time.
01:10:10.840
Like, this ain't a fucking – I just want you to – like, you motherfuckers listening, this isn't something I just jumped on.
01:10:16.860
We were fighting about this when we were fucking 16.
01:10:19.180
Oh, no, I mean, mine's a total hold my beer, watch this.
01:10:23.540
You know, like – but, I mean, from the fundamental standpoint, if you're going to make weed illegal, alcohol should definitely be illegal.
01:10:31.020
You know, and the reason the government's in it is so they can get their hands in the money.
01:10:33.420
It has nothing to do with a fucking – they don't give a fuck about –
01:10:36.200
They don't care about your fucking health if they did.
01:10:39.820
They wouldn't fucking allow doctors to prescribe all these fucking opiates and get all these motherfuckers hooked on shit.
01:10:45.360
That's in the lined pockets of the government and the officials.
01:10:49.300
That's shame on them because now they've got all these fucking pain junkies because they're making money from the fucking J&Js of the world lining their pockets, lobbying against it.
01:10:57.800
The lobbyist pays the fucking – the politician, the politician passes the bill.
01:11:02.060
Now they say, okay, well, we're getting our – the opiates are getting fucking banned and our money's going away.
01:11:11.360
Like, hey, man – and listen, I'm a fucking drunk.
01:11:16.240
So – but I'm also a proponent then you start looking at like – I don't think the government should tell you what you can and can't do in your own home.
01:11:23.680
You know, if you want to fucking smoke crack in your own house –
01:11:26.960
Like, it's not okay to like molest kids in your own home.
01:11:29.820
But I'm talking about from the – if you want to smoke weed in your house, like if you wanted to grow weed in your backyard and smoke it in your fucking house and you don't want to sell it, like I don't see why that's a fucking problem.
01:11:37.920
You know, so like in that sense, in the grand scheme of things –
01:11:45.400
When you step back and you start looking at facts like we were talking about earlier, you start analyzing the situation, they don't give a fuck about your health.
01:11:52.020
They don't give a fuck about the – maybe your ability to hedge against the antidepressant.
01:11:57.880
They give a fuck about one thing and one thing only, taxation.
01:12:03.080
And they want to make sure instead of it going to Pablo Escobar, it's going to the U.S. government fucking pocket.
01:12:10.400
To think anything different is just fucking sheepish.
01:12:13.340
So, I mean like in the sense like do I have a problem with the monetization of weed?
01:12:19.420
I think it's – like to Andrew's point, it's the greatest opportunity that's probably going to pass from an exploding business in our standpoint.
01:12:25.820
Do I think these guys who go out there and fucking bang the fucking health card and the jockey card and they're paying all – it's bullshit.
01:12:39.320
Like all you motherfuckers out there with your medical cards, you ain't fooling us, bro.
01:12:42.560
Oh, dude, I got it because of my fucking – it helps me sleep.
01:12:57.800
So, there's – and when it comes down to it, it's all personal agenda.
01:13:02.220
Like this goes back to like the Democrat, Republican, the fuck – that's why I try to –
01:13:18.680
That way I can look at my children and say, you know what?
01:13:24.140
Dude, I could fucking – I could have smoked weed with fucking Nelly right here.
01:13:29.960
Well, it was pounding in our heads as a little kid.
01:13:32.500
You want to smoke weed, you're going to sweep in my warehouse.
01:13:36.420
But anyway, you know, to Andrew's story earlier about there's two sides to every story,
01:13:44.920
There's your side, your side, and the truth, which lies in the middle.
01:13:48.280
And so just because my personal stance is out here and their personal stance is over here –
01:13:59.060
You should be able to differentiate your personal agenda from what the facts are.
01:14:05.980
Like, people don't have the ability to do that.
01:14:07.820
You and I do that all the time because we have to do it to be effective in business.
01:14:11.520
Yeah, and I just – like, to me, like, I always relate it back to fucking sex.
01:14:17.760
Whatever you want to do with your husband and wife behind closed doors, go fucking do it.
01:14:22.160
If it makes you feel good, if it makes you sleep better, if you fucking both rocking and rolling,
01:14:25.700
you think it's the greatest fucking thing on earth, close the motherfucking door,
01:14:28.200
turn the fucking lights off, and go to fucking town.
01:14:36.760
Ain't nobody fucking – ain't nobody judging you.
01:14:47.160
I actually don't know enough about the issue to really say either way.
01:14:52.320
So I'm not going to share what ignorance I have about that whole issue.
01:14:59.980
You know, Vaughn didn't get the nickname, the Impaler, for nothing.
01:15:04.340
That's why he's got so many – that's why he's got all these kids.
01:15:10.220
All right, so this next question is from JNew14, Justin Neubauer.
01:15:17.380
So he makes a reference to Kobe, but I think – and I know we were kind of done with that section,
01:15:21.640
but I think it's a really good question, so I'm going to ask it.
01:15:25.180
So he says, I've always wondered Andy's take on this.
01:15:29.380
So Kobe was accused of rape early in his career, but ultimately, since that,
01:15:35.480
I've seen many people say – I don't understand his next statement.
01:15:42.840
He says, I've seen many people say why – oh, he says, I've seen many people ask
01:15:47.260
why praise someone who was able to do something like that.
01:15:55.280
So he says, in addition, my timeline was flooded a month ago with hate about Michael Vick
01:16:00.600
being a captain at the Pro Bowl because of his past.
01:16:05.820
If you make a horrible decision early in life or your career,
01:16:09.400
does that condemn you for the rest of your life, regardless of how much good you do afterwards?
01:16:13.500
No, that's the problem with fucking society, bro.
01:16:15.140
Nobody can even do something that's even fucking – dude, Kobe was an adultor.
01:16:24.340
That side girlfriend, that situation came to a head.
01:16:31.400
The side girlfriend, when she realized she wasn't going to be the main girlfriend,
01:16:36.520
decided to tell people that she was raped, okay?
01:16:42.640
There should be fucking legal ramifications for people to accuse people of rape
01:16:51.020
Those motherfuckers that make those accusations should go to fucking jail
01:16:54.340
because it's too easy right now for a man to be accused of that shit and it not be true.
01:17:00.260
And then – this motherfucker's dead now and people are still talking about it.
01:17:05.440
When it was proven in a court of law to not be true.
01:17:09.900
So the facts of the scenario are, dude, he settled with her.
01:17:16.820
When you have a lot of money, sometimes people pay people to shut the fuck up.
01:17:27.580
I personally believe that if you do some fucked up shit and you own it,
01:17:35.420
and you know how hard it was for him to stand and go through all that
01:17:41.840
And then to have to admit, like, well, listen, I had a side bitch, okay?
01:17:55.600
So how many of these dudes out there fucking accusing him
01:18:04.080
60% of the people who are jumping on the bandwagon saying,
01:18:08.860
fuck him, uh-uh-uh, they're doing the same shit.
01:18:20.520
My person – okay, this is a good example of how people should think.
01:18:24.780
I think it's – dude, I am the biggest fucking animal person
01:18:28.240
on the face of the fucking planet when it comes to dogs.
01:18:31.960
I don't even have kids because I love dogs so much.
01:18:41.020
I was trying to watch that documentary, Don't Fuck With Cats,
01:18:44.460
and they got to – Tyler knows this because we just talked about it yesterday.
01:18:48.940
like, they were showing the video of that guy going to kill these cats,
01:18:51.880
and I thought they were going to show – I had to turn it off.
01:19:00.020
So, my personal feeling is that Michael Vick, what he did is in-fucking-excusable.
01:19:10.120
But then I'm able to sit back and I step back and I say, okay, where did this come from?
01:19:17.340
Well, when he was raised, that was considered normal for what they did.
01:19:22.160
You know, in that culture where he comes from and what they do, that is not an abnormal thing.
01:19:28.720
So, at what point is the person a product of their environment
01:19:32.580
and not recognizing what they're doing is actually wrong?
01:19:37.640
But what I do know is that the motherfucker went to jail in the middle of his career.
01:19:47.640
And I personally think when we're talking about celebrating someone on a professional level,
01:19:55.620
like he got named captain of the Pro Bowl team or whatever,
01:19:59.620
I think, personally, I think what he did was fucking the most disgusting thing a human could really do
01:20:09.460
And I think at some point we've got to be able to say,
01:20:11.580
people deserve to pay whatever it is that they did to atone for their sins, so to speak,
01:20:21.100
And we have a problem with that in society right now
01:20:23.480
because we let our personal beliefs keep us in the pitchfork and the torch crowd
01:20:38.400
I feel like if people own their shit and they pay the price for what they did wrong,
01:20:47.100
In my experience, and this is certainly true of the history of the church as I've studied it,
01:20:52.040
is that the people who were total screw-ups and did really bad things
01:20:55.480
but then got on the right path ended up being more of a force for good
01:20:58.940
than the people who were goody-two-shoes all along.
01:21:15.200
Sometimes it's really fucking hard to forgive people.
01:21:18.420
Just like I got a motherfucker who stabbed me in the fucking face
01:21:29.740
And like, dude, that takes a lot of fucking strength for anybody.
01:21:33.680
Like, dude, it takes a lot of strength for people to look at Michael Vick
01:21:40.120
Even though I feel a certain way about this scenario,
01:21:43.520
I have to accept the fact of the matter is that he was dealt this punishment.
01:21:51.300
I think we allow somebody like that to move on.
01:22:03.500
when I started living like a true life of forgiveness in a sense,
01:22:08.360
it's going to sound really Bible thumper of me,
01:22:09.920
but, you know, I really did feel my life got insurmountably better.
01:22:15.080
And the reason I say that is because, you know,
01:22:17.300
I've learned to try to erase negativity from my brain
01:22:20.400
because negative thoughts steal a lot of your energy.
01:22:23.040
And when I started to really like start to see things,
01:22:26.660
kind of how Andrew was stating him, like, you know,
01:22:29.460
So for me to judge him for growing up in that environment, it's not fair to him.
01:22:36.040
However, you know, my ability to forgive has taught me to release that out of my brain
01:22:42.900
so that I have the ability to move on, you know, not dwell on it and not think about it.
01:22:46.600
And not like when people do me wrong, like I know they do me wrong.
01:22:49.380
And I know I could like get in a little bickering match back and forth with them,
01:22:53.440
Like it's my job to move on, forgive them for that portion of it,
01:22:57.620
and fucking step outside and keep moving, you know?
01:23:05.200
You know he paid his price when he walked back in that bedroom with his wife.
01:23:10.200
And I'm sure that relationship was never the same.
01:23:15.380
And that's part of that process is being able to forgive because, you know,
01:23:24.000
Oh, let he who is sinless cast the first stone.
01:23:26.260
Okay, that's a good fucking place to start, you know?
01:23:29.620
I think if people live by that, we'd have a much better world.
01:23:34.500
You know, like people think that they can hide in the crowd, right?
01:23:40.100
But, like, you know, God sees your fucking DMs.
01:23:51.700
I'm going to join this because I'm fucking for this.
01:24:05.440
Listen, every day of my life and every time I go to church,
01:24:10.980
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
01:24:15.060
The whole point for me is I don't know how people can just, like,
01:24:18.720
refuse to forgive people or refuse to give people a sense of mercy or grace
01:24:26.640
I've screwed up so many times and I've received so much goodness from God
01:24:38.000
Dude, everything good in life is the result of something hard.
01:24:46.300
You know, forgiving people who do really fucked up shit, guess what?
01:24:52.360
You don't have, forgiving people does not mean that you don't care.
01:24:55.680
It means knowing what they did and recognizing the gravity of what they did
01:25:08.260
You're overcoming something, and that's important.
01:25:11.000
It's an important thing for people to think about.
01:25:13.460
Well, and just because you've, like, the forgive and forget model,
01:25:18.100
You know, forgiveness in your heart and being able to move on
01:25:21.800
is different than acting like it never happened.
01:25:25.260
And so, for me, I think specifically in, you know, business relationships
01:25:30.180
or in life, like, I'm able to check down those mistakes a lot easier now
01:25:34.940
as I've matured as an adult than I used to because I used to hang it over their head
01:25:38.780
and, like, you know, I'm going to use this against you as a pawn and a chip.
01:25:42.320
And instead, then I would, now I choose to forgive and move on versus
01:25:46.280
and not utilize that relationship anymore than I do to hold it over their fucking head
01:25:52.700
Yeah, but also, too, like, you know, I don't think forget is what you're supposed to do.
01:25:58.780
I think it's forgive and remember and then be smart about recognizing
01:26:04.440
the pattern starts to repeat and be aware of that.
01:26:08.060
Well, the example I always use is if an extended member of my family
01:26:12.640
molested one of my girls, I could come to a point where I would forgive that person,
01:26:25.780
Right, and people mistake, like, forgiveness is bearing no ill will to somebody.
01:26:30.000
It's saying, I don't hope you die or I don't hope you have a miserable life.
01:26:34.480
There's situations where I'm not Christ-like because that's something that-
01:26:37.700
Yeah, hey, listen, bro, I would need God's grace to do that.
01:26:48.100
Sometimes you're going to feel things and do things and be infuriated by things
01:26:54.240
that you're going to have a really fucking hard time with.
01:26:57.780
And sometimes it's impossible to forgive people for things.
01:27:02.100
I personally agree with what you said, because if someone were to do that to your kids,
01:27:16.700
Sure, I can identify with that emotion for sure.
01:27:18.420
Yes, and I would say, okay, well, now I got to kill this motherfucker.
01:27:21.620
And I would know what I have to do to get right with God about that.
01:27:29.700
I have a much greater deal of forgiveness against me, personally, than I do against those closest
01:27:40.920
But like, in me, like, you can kind of cross me, and I'm like, you know what, it is what
01:27:45.820
Or one of my guys, or like, I'm very loyal in that fucking sense.
01:28:02.700
I don't remember how it got in my brain, but like, you know, when you have someone, okay,
01:28:11.020
like you, Sal, or like me, who are inherently very demanding about people's standards, especially
01:28:19.540
Like, dude, I don't fucking ask for people to be perfect.
01:28:36.940
But what I'm saying is, is that when you look at yourself, like a lot of people think,
01:28:44.120
oh, dude, you guys are just fucking, you're, you, you have unreasonable standards.
01:28:48.660
No, the reason that we have those standards on others is because the standards that we hold
01:28:57.260
So when you don't, when dude, look, I'll just be real.
01:29:03.480
You know, one of the reasons I've struggled with being down is because, dude, I fucking
01:29:07.880
think I'm a piece of shit because my standards are so fucking high that like, dude, it would
01:29:14.800
And I was talking to one of my friends, Aaron Wagner, who's a very, very smart, successful
01:29:22.660
Um, and we were talking about it and the truth is, is like, that's also part of being
01:29:28.600
a human is figuring out how to be imperfect, but also not to destroy yourself because you
01:29:38.680
I was just telling somebody the other day that, um, the, the account of God creating humankind
01:29:45.720
Like in the book of Genesis, where he takes dust from the, from the ground and he forms it
01:29:51.060
into human being and then he breathes into it, the breath of life, which is the Hebrew
01:29:59.120
And to me, that's the perfect thing we need to remember that we are given the spirit of
01:30:05.520
We can do everything we put our minds to, but at the end of the day, we're also dust.
01:30:12.760
So it's holding that tension of who we are as human beings that we're capable of so much,
01:30:22.880
Like the spirit part of it gives us a little sense of swag, but we have to remember that
01:30:35.340
It's hard as fuck to be humble when you're actually good at shit.
01:30:39.540
Like being humble when you're a normal motherfucker walking around the face of the earth, that ain't
01:30:49.100
You got to be good before you can be fucking humble.
01:30:53.960
And dude, another thing I want to hit on this since we're on this fucking talk of, of spirituality.
01:30:59.960
Um, why is it that these people will DM me or you or other people and say, I can't believe
01:31:08.960
that you, um, believe in God and use the word fuck.
01:31:12.400
Or I can't believe that, you know, you, uh, you, you say you're spiritual, but you know,
01:31:21.140
Like, dude, what the fuck are you guys talking about?
01:31:24.000
First of all, motherfucker, if I remember correctly in the 10 commandments, one of them
01:31:29.020
is thou shall not what judge, you know what I'm saying?
01:31:34.860
Like people are so ignorant of their own hypocrisy.
01:31:39.400
That's not one of the 10 commandments, but it's one of them.
01:31:42.380
It's, it's, it's in the Bible, but it's not one of the 10 commandments.
01:31:50.640
I take it as a pretty strong fucking suggestion.
01:32:01.080
But dude, again, like it's weird to me that in Christian culture, what people like how often
01:32:12.520
Like this goes against the foundation of your fucking beliefs.
01:32:16.240
Well, it was kind of crazy is that it's, it's usually two extremes.
01:32:19.960
It's either people who see, because I don't think people really understand even what it's
01:32:24.240
meant by don't judge, because for one thing, it's clearly not saying that we can't ever
01:32:33.580
It's not possible, but that's not what Jesus means.
01:32:36.640
He's not, he's not saying that we can't evaluate people's actions.
01:32:40.900
What Jesus says is judge, not lest you be judged.
01:32:43.300
Meaning you better be really careful pointing a finger at somebody else because there's another
01:32:50.620
If you live in a glass house, don't throw rocks.
01:32:56.060
It's the, again, you have the, you have the extremes.
01:32:58.920
You have the people who are always going around telling other people, condemning other
01:33:04.700
And the, and the, you know, like the, the, the, the word picture that Jesus uses is that
01:33:09.800
there are people who walk around trying to take a little speck out of people, uh, people's
01:33:13.920
eyes when they've got a plank in their own eye.
01:33:19.120
But then the other aspect of that, the other extreme is people who, who like, for instance,
01:33:24.320
if you were to evaluate somebody like, and say literally, Hey, there are ways that you
01:33:32.520
Well, they're wrong too, because it's okay to call people to account.
01:33:36.540
It's okay to say to people, Hey, listen, the way you're living maybe needs a little bit
01:33:44.460
You know, that's what's funny is that I feel like sometimes unsuccessful people accuse, uh,
01:33:51.120
successful people of judging them simply because of successful people might say, well, listen,
01:33:56.260
if you want to be, if you want to be where I'm at, you got to work.
01:34:11.540
Most of my fucking friends, most of my friends are in a completely different economic fucking bracket
01:34:24.540
Do you think I judge my fucking friends that don't make as much money as me?
01:34:29.860
But ironically, when you drive your Bentley into the gas station, you get flipped off.
01:34:37.880
I don't drive a Bentley because it ain't baller enough for me.
01:34:41.260
Well, let's fucking, if we're going to, we're going to judge my standards.
01:34:51.260
Completely different cars, different levels of balderdom.
01:34:53.880
By the way, if you have to go to the emergency room, I recommend being taken in a Rolls-Royce.
01:35:07.100
But the point being, people, when they flip you off for that, ironically, that's them judging
01:35:14.900
That's them saying, you must think you're better than I am.
01:35:25.220
He had somebody pull, he saw, we got on a camera, lady pulled up and fucking yelled
01:35:33.480
Because when people see a Lamborghini or a Ferrari or a fucking cool Porsche, they think,
01:35:38.560
When they see a fucking Rolls-Royce, they think that guy's fucking, that guy's gotta be
01:35:45.960
But they don't realize, if you ever drove a Rolls-Royce, you'd fucking get it.
01:35:51.260
I'm pretty sure the time that you got flipped off, though, was in the TDF.
01:35:56.440
But that, what you saw happen, that happens all the time in the Rolls.
01:36:01.600
None of the other, like, it's very, I've never actually had it happen in any other car but
01:36:05.680
This kind of goes back to the forgiveness thing for me, though.
01:36:07.880
Like, in my brain, I've learned, dude, if I get hate, I literally don't even, I don't
01:36:16.580
Yeah, like, I don't, but I've learned, like, it's been one of my strengths is, like,
01:36:22.380
But I've also learned that that doesn't, that means I can't bring the noise.
01:36:29.180
Like, you go make whatever fucking decision you want to make for yourself.
01:36:39.180
Well, Andy, you mentioned, you mentioned that there's strength in forgiveness.
01:36:42.340
And a quote that I've always loved is Martin Luther King Jr.'s quote, I will hate no man.
01:36:51.420
And I think that's a great way to, an attitude to have about it.
01:36:54.440
Because, like, if you're really enslaved to hate or unforgiveness, that's exactly what
01:37:06.000
I don't, that's why I was telling Henry the other day, I got to get back to swimming.
01:37:08.780
Because, like, swimming has allowed me to process a lot of things because it's just me.
01:37:12.280
And I get to talk to myself, like, in a crazy way, you know?
01:37:14.900
And today's crazy thought, this morning when I was swimming, I started thinking about,
01:37:23.180
If you come back and you're the person that you did the most wrong to, like the most ill-willed
01:37:27.640
decision that you made against somebody, you've got to go live that decision.
01:37:33.220
And then you start thinking about in the pool, man.
01:37:34.980
You start thinking about, you know, like, everything you've done.
01:37:37.160
You're like, oh, man, I've got to start thinking this way.
01:37:38.860
I've got to, every fucking decision in life, I've got to make, start living towards that
01:37:42.500
Because now that I think it, this goes to your point about believing it, now maybe it's
01:37:47.860
You know, now I've got to fucking, I've got to up my goddamn game.
01:37:51.660
People are like, man, you, what the fuck is wrong?
01:37:55.960
I think that's fucking actually a really intelligent way to think.
01:37:58.740
Because if you could actually take other people's perspective into account before you make
01:38:04.200
a decision that's going to affect them, I think you make better decisions.
01:38:08.600
That's why I believe a good business deal is one that's good for the customer and it's
01:38:13.940
I've seen you negotiate with kids in Mexico for chicklets for free.
01:38:23.940
Let's say I got a couple hundred grand off the furniture.
01:38:25.760
I will say this, you're a great negotiator and I'm teasing what Sal does in Mexico actually,
01:38:33.380
because people are going to, you know, boo, this fucking dick move.
01:38:35.980
The truth is, is what he does is he negotiates with the kids real fucking hard to the point
01:38:41.260
where they're like ready to give them the chicklets for free and then he pays them the
01:38:49.220
So I'm teasing, but it's one of my favorite things to go to Mexico when we go to Mexico
01:38:53.580
and talk to like the local people that are working the shops and stuff.
01:39:00.840
But what I think is cool, both of us have done this a million times, is we'll negotiate
01:39:05.400
the deal with those guys and then we'll pay what they asked the first time.
01:39:14.240
It's one of my favorite things about going to Mexico.
01:39:22.800
I'm negotiating with the motherfuckers in Haiti, dude.
01:39:28.960
Uh, I was going to do, uh, he, he mentioned maybe wanting to do predictions for the Super
01:39:36.200
So we'll have to say, these are our predictions.
01:39:38.360
We don't know if they came true, but you know, although, will that be weird?
01:40:18.520
I've never, I've never been able to figure out that whole, the way that that works.
01:40:23.480
They're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're
01:40:43.200
They keep Patrick Mahomes off the field and they run.
01:40:52.840
So I, I was going to just wrap it up by saying, here, I'll, yeah, I'll do.
01:40:59.360
Well, just so you know, I, when I put out that call for questions, I got a ton of questions.
01:41:03.340
So at some point, we're going to probably have to do a whole episode of questions because
01:41:19.380
I know you mentioned wanting to do some predictions.
01:41:23.260
At the time of this, the posting of this episode, the Super Bowl will have already happened.
01:41:33.660
Well, I'm going to say, I'm going to say that the Chiefs, and I don't like to bet on the
01:41:39.520
I have to say, I've been very cynical with the fact that they won the AFC Championship.
01:41:46.040
What the fuck have you been watching all year, bro?
01:41:48.620
But there were years that, there were years that the Chiefs were really good.
01:41:51.700
Dude, you can't judge somebody on their last year's performance.
01:41:58.080
But I am going to bet on the Chiefs, and I'm going to say that they're going to win 27-24.
01:42:16.180
I think if Richard Sherman can play lockdown corner, which he's capable of doing, I think
01:42:20.900
it dismantles the ability for Patrick Mahomes to do what he does best, which is stretch the
01:42:32.620
But I have to say, being in Chiefs Nation now, like part of the deal, like my heart's got
01:42:38.500
I mean, I just want them to win because I think it's, that place is Kansas City, the Kansas
01:42:46.600
This is, I was telling somebody this the other day.
01:42:49.420
You know what I love about Kansas City Chiefs is when you go to the tailgate, it's white,
01:42:58.640
And it's drinking beer and barbecue and no one gives a fuck.
01:43:03.000
They give a fuck about the Chiefs and they fly the flag high and you're walking through
01:43:07.360
And like, to me, that's, that's what fucking life's about.
01:43:20.540
That's a pretty good fucking predictor there, Vaughn.
01:43:23.820
I'm going to say it's going to be higher than that.
01:43:27.940
I'm going to say they can't keep, they can't keep fucking Tyreek Hill down.
01:43:40.900
See, Tyler's going to jump in and say Tom Brady's going to win the Super Bowl.
01:43:46.960
I did want to say something I found very intriguing when the Rams got sold and moved back to Los
01:43:53.180
There were a number of people here in St. Louis who said, you know what?
01:43:59.600
Now, now I can root for the Chiefs because I always felt bad rooting for the Chiefs because
01:44:04.760
But now that the Rams are gone, I can justify rooting for the Chiefs.
01:44:10.800
When I was living in Springfield, Missouri, I didn't like the Chiefs because for some reason,
01:44:14.840
the Chiefs fans in Springfield were always just dicks.
01:44:20.600
And if you're in Springfield and you're a Chiefs fan, be a real fucking fan.
01:44:27.140
Were they the kind of people like when their team lost, they just said, well.
01:44:30.660
Like they were just, when they lost, it was like, you know.
01:44:38.620
Maybe it's just the fact that I wasn't a Chiefs fan.
01:44:50.900
I will say I did go to a Chiefs game in early 2000s when they play the Raiders and I wore
01:44:59.640
The fans at the stadium, I thought they were going to fucking be total assholes.
01:45:08.160
And I really like, I really do like the culture of that team.
01:45:14.800
And if you're one of those people in Springfield, you know, be nice.
01:45:26.780
Before you go, though, I want to, dude, Patrick Mahomes, this goes back to the-
01:45:52.420
I don't think there's any question they're going to win.
01:45:57.800
I think they're going to, I think San Francisco's score will be 24-ish.
01:46:13.640
You said about Sherman, well, dude, the Chiefs have a lot more weapons
01:46:19.640
And if they can open up the offense and create space,
01:46:26.200
So the minute they start covering the over the top,
01:46:32.360
They're going to have to come up and watch the box.
01:46:40.520
And as long as they play the games that they've been playing
01:46:52.200
But, dude, I'm just saying, like, if they come out hungry
01:46:57.940
there's no fucking way San Francisco could beat them.
01:47:05.480
Well, I mean, dude, that San Francisco defense is tough.
01:47:06.920
That's not your fucking prediction because you just waited to see what I –
01:47:10.240
I asked you first and couldn't think for yourself.
01:47:20.680
That guy has – I guarantee has no problems getting laid.
01:47:30.940
You go in that dude's comments on IG, and it's like, fuck.
01:47:41.300
This is the battle of the two best-looking quarterbacks.
01:47:44.220
Them dudes – neither one of them dudes are struggling.
01:47:48.900
Like, I for real – and I'm not saying this because I'm a fan.
01:47:51.440
I am a fan, but I'm – this has been the constant theme of the show.
01:47:57.100
When I break down what I know about football, which I know a little bit.
01:48:06.140
It's going to be really – to me, in my mind, I don't see how the fuck they're going to stop them.
01:48:17.440
They're a more solid team, meaning they play a better defense.
01:48:21.800
The top-line talent of the Chiefs – it's like the 99 Rams.
01:48:28.740
Their offense is going to have to outscore them.
01:48:31.900
This will be really interesting for everybody listening to this, knowing that it's after the –
01:48:36.720
They're going to be like, you guys suck at predicting.
01:48:40.200
Dude, but that's how Super Bowls usually go, right?
01:48:55.700
The fucking Niners will be in the 20s, and Chiefs will be in the 40s or 50s.
01:49:02.540
I'm excited to drink a beer and fucking watch it.
01:49:07.920
I'm excited to drink a beer and watch this fucking Netflix show that you talked about for two and a half hours a day.
01:49:15.960
Oh, well, it's Dumbest Motherfucker in All the Land.
01:49:20.600
Yeah, so you guys have probably heard of the Penis Man, right?
01:49:31.120
Yeah, so SWAT recently kicked in his apartment door and arrested him for vandalizing, you know, universities and public areas by writing the words Penis Man all over.
01:49:44.040
And upon getting arrested, he actually said he's a copycat.
01:50:13.520
If you had to start this kind of movement writing graffiti, what's the crude words you would put up on there?
01:50:21.660
No, dude, I'd be writing I am first form everywhere.
01:50:27.840
We're going to have a huge graffiti wall on the back of the new gym.
01:50:39.760
I'm just saying I assumed that it was going to be vulgar.
01:51:00.020
I think that was in Seinfeld way back in the day.
01:51:09.940
You guys are losing steam here because you're being pussies.
01:51:16.880
Ladies and gentlemen, if you're not subscribed to the Andygram.
01:51:23.540
In all seriousness, those who are not subscribed to Andy's blog should subscribe.
01:51:28.360
I believe it's just andyfricella.com forward slash sign up, I think.
01:51:53.540
It's just a little bit of a tip to get your day started off in the right way.
01:52:01.860
And it gets you going off on the right direction.
01:52:04.660
By the end of the day, you'll be a professional ass eater.
01:52:19.740
No, it was $14,000, but I discounted it today only to $997.
01:52:26.240
Well, we established early on, though, that $900 was too much for the foot fetish.
01:52:33.000
No, I mean, lesson for the day is don't worry about how much talent you have.
01:52:42.180
And I think if Kobe Bryant taught us anything is you don't have to be the biggest.
01:52:47.580
You just have to be aware enough of what your weaknesses are and be able to correct those
01:52:55.480
And if you can correct your weaknesses, you can live the life that you want to live.
01:52:58.560
You can be remembered for the things that you want to be remembered for, but it comes
01:53:04.360
I think that's great advice, but my takeaway is something completely different.
01:53:13.300
Like, realize your own imperfections and try not to jump on people who do wrong and instead
01:53:30.280
Is my perception the truth or is it my own bias?
01:53:33.400
I think a lot of problems in the world could be solved by a little bit of self-examination
01:53:43.200
We're not supposed to be perfect in every single way.
01:53:50.200
And that requires us to understand that comes with the flaws that we have as well.
01:53:55.060
And so when you do wrong or other people do wrong, own it and extend people the same
01:54:00.760
courtesy that you wish you would have if you were the person that you're trying to jump
01:54:07.040
I think the world would be a lot better place if people would just take a minute, stop and
01:54:14.100
When you said, Vaughn, earlier, you said about throwing the stones in the glass house thing.
01:54:28.300
And so remember that when you fucking cast your stones at people, that people are going
01:54:34.860
to cast their stones at you at some point in time.
01:54:37.440
So when you jump on the latest trend to villainize someone or destroy someone or hurt someone because
01:54:43.300
you think they did wrong, realize that your time is going to come with that.
01:54:46.940
And for every fucking instance that you do that, you're going to get that back.
01:54:56.240
I want to expose a lot of the people out there and say all these things that I personally
01:55:01.800
But the truth of the matter is, I don't actually know.
01:55:07.480
So before you open your mouth and you throw some rocks and you try to hurt people, remember,
01:55:13.840
they're going to fucking hurt you back if you do.
01:55:27.920
People want to hear what the Jean-Claude Van Damme has to say.
01:55:32.840
I just go back to what we said earlier with the issue of forgiveness.
01:55:37.860
I think that people who have a really healthy sense that they themselves have received a lot of really good things in life that they don't deserve.
01:55:47.260
They've received a lot of breaks that they didn't earn.
01:55:52.300
I've done things that I should have suffered the consequences for, but God in His grace and mercy said,
01:55:58.400
No, I'm going to kind of protect him from this a little bit, and I'm going to give him something he didn't deserve.
01:56:02.900
And my life has been so absolutely full of things, good things, that I just, you know, literally if I stopped getting good things from now to the rest of my life, I would still have tons of reasons to express my thanks and my gratitude to God.
01:56:17.780
So, because He has acted that way toward me, I just, I feel like I'm bound, I'm obligated to try to extend that grace and that mercy to other people.
01:56:35.620
