00:00:00.000 What is up guys, it's Andy Fussell and this is the show for the realists, say goodbye
00:00:20.720 to the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking
00:00:24.720 reality. Guys, today we have a real talk. All right. And, uh, I'm just going to get right
00:00:31.700 into it. Okay. I see all kinds of people all over the internet every single day complaining
00:00:39.860 about how modern culture is soft and how it's weak and how, you know, we're not able to do
00:00:48.820 what our grandfathers did and our, our great grandfathers did. Yeah. And guess what? That
00:00:55.800 is by design. The machine that they have built is designed to keep you weak. Okay. Every single
00:01:05.280 thing, if you are paying attention to it is working to make you more comfortable. It's
00:01:11.680 designed to keep you soft. It's designed to be more convenient, easier access, instant
00:01:18.880 everything. Okay. This is the problem that people are not recognizing. Nobody is out here pointing
00:01:27.900 out that the system doesn't work. Okay. When you look at what's going on in the world and
00:01:35.460 you see all these people who seem to not have any care in the world or any understanding of
00:01:41.620 what to do, you have to understand that they have been programmed by a system that has
00:01:49.040 engineered them to be slaves. And if you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Okay. They
00:01:56.280 start off in school when you're real little. And what do they tell you? They say, you could
00:02:00.660 be anything you want. You can be an astronaut. You could be a professional athlete. You could
00:02:06.740 cure cancer. You could be the president. All right. But as you grow and as you get older,
00:02:13.300 the conversation starts to spin. It starts to become, well, you need to be more realistic.
00:02:21.300 You know, that's going to be really hard to do. You know, not everybody gets to do that.
00:02:27.120 And then as you get even older, it becomes even worse. Don't forget where you came from.
00:02:35.360 You're becoming materialistic. You're starting to get greedy. You're not very humble. Yeah,
00:02:43.560 motherfucker. That's the point. The point is to stand out. The point is to create a version
00:02:50.320 of yourself that is immune from the system that is designed to make us weak. If you think about how
00:02:57.240 most people live, most people do the exact same thing every day. They have been programmed their
00:03:04.060 entire life. Think about the things that are said in television. Think about the things that are said
00:03:10.880 in social media. Think about the overall attitude that people have. They want to wake up. They want to
00:03:17.340 put in their 40 hours. They want to brag about how they put in their 40 hours. Like it's some sort of
00:03:22.680 exceptional thing. They say things like, I pay my bills. I pay my taxes. I go to work. Yeah,
00:03:30.800 you're fucking supposed to. That is the bare minimum, bro. Okay. So it should be no surprise
00:03:37.340 that when we look around, we are dealing with the product of a system that produces weakness. Okay.
00:03:45.460 And then on top of it, what do we have now? We have all this social media. We have all this
00:03:51.640 entertainment. We have all of these things designed to take our attention away from the fact that we
00:03:59.440 are not becoming what it is we're supposed to be. It is manufactured compliance. It is manufactured
00:04:06.780 obedience. It is intentionally manufactured oppression that we just never,
00:04:13.960 ever notice because it's what we hear all the time. Think about it. Think about what your teachers
00:04:20.340 told you. Think about what you heard from your parents. Think about what you heard from your
00:04:24.500 aunts and uncles. Think about it. Eventually they stopped encouraging you and then they started to
00:04:32.800 pull your dreams back. They started to make sure that you don't want to go out there too far.
00:04:39.820 You don't want to, you don't want to forget where you came from, motherfucker. Sometimes forgetting
00:04:46.460 where you came from is the best thing you could ever fucking do. Okay. So you have to understand
00:04:52.600 that when you set out to become better, when you set out to become great, when you set out to do
00:05:00.500 something that nobody, you know, and nobody in your family has ever done, you are going to face
00:05:07.620 massive resistance because of how they have been infected by the system. Okay. We can go out there
00:05:18.280 and we could build anything. We could become the main characters. We could do all of these things,
00:05:23.220 but most people can't get over the fact that nobody wants to support them. Nobody wants to cheer for
00:05:31.940 them. Nobody believes in them. Well, how the fuck can anybody believe in you if they have never seen
00:05:39.120 what it is that you're trying to do actually be produced? And then on top of that, they've never
00:05:45.520 seen you do anything meaningful. They've never seen you follow through. They've never seen you hold the
00:05:51.320 standard that you say you're going to. Okay. And every time you have designed a goal for yourself,
00:05:58.880 you have fallen short because you get sucked into the mentality and the culture that is weaponized
00:06:05.320 in society against you. You start looking for the shortcut. You start looking for the easier path.
00:06:12.020 You start telling yourself that the weekends are the best part of your week and you hate your job.
00:06:18.080 You start telling yourself anything you need to tell yourself to let yourself off the hook from doing
00:06:24.220 what it is you've always wanted to do. And then you're surprised that it doesn't fucking happen for
00:06:29.600 you, bro. You have to understand what's going on here. Everything they promote is designed to keep
00:06:40.740 you soft. They sell you comfort and call it freedom. They sell you dopamine and call it happiness.
00:06:48.260 They sell you convenience. Like it's success. Like the ultimate prize in life is doing the least
00:06:56.640 amount of work. It's not. That is the cultural trap that is set. That is the narrative. That is what we
00:07:04.300 are taught. And you're being programmed every single day to avoid hardship, to numb yourself with content
00:07:15.260 and scrolling and sports and entertainment, anything that will keep you from seeing the problem that
00:07:24.520 actually needs to be solved in yourself. Okay. Comfort culture, the culture that has been created
00:07:32.380 fast now, easy, convenient is designed to lure you in and put you to sleep. So you can't see the
00:07:43.100 chains that they are putting on you. The chains of luxuries and conveniences and instant and now and
00:07:51.280 free and no effort. These are the things that will crush your life. Every single shortcut, every single
00:08:01.240 corner cut, every single avoidance of pain and hard work and frustration that comes with building
00:08:09.420 anything great is moving you closer to them and further away from everything that you've ever wanted
00:08:18.680 to be. Okay. This attention addiction, this comfort culture, this is designed obedience. They've hijacked
00:08:28.120 our focus. They've hijacked our potential. They've done everything they can to convince us that we shouldn't
00:08:35.420 even try. They've removed the will to fight. And now we've got millions of men scrolling and snacking and
00:08:46.020 doing everything they can to have the easiest life possible. But guess what? Freedom doesn't exist in the
00:08:54.920 easy. It exists in the hard. Everything that you're chasing, the happiness, the fulfillment,
00:09:02.360 the end product, who you want to be, how you want to live. These things exist in the hard. If you want
00:09:11.960 freedom, you've got to go the complete opposite way of everybody else. You've got to turn off the noise.
00:09:19.800 You've got to turn up the work and you have to train your mind to be disciplined, to be hard,
00:09:26.660 to execute, especially when you don't want to. You've got to starve your weaknesses completely
00:09:34.260 and stop living like a pawn. Stop letting them insult you by making them believe this is somehow
00:09:42.620 supposed to be fucking easy. Okay. Because this culture, the one we live in currently, it's not
00:09:49.840 broken by accident. It was built to break you intentionally. And it is up to you to become
00:09:58.040 the resistance to that. But you got to break free of these chains. You've got to understand that the
00:10:04.680 reason that nobody believes in you isn't necessarily because they don't love you. It's because they can't
00:10:11.580 think outside the invisible chains that have been placed on them by society. Okay. And if you ever,
00:10:19.520 ever want them to break out and understand, then you have to become what you say you're going to
00:10:27.780 become because none of those people will believe it until they fucking see you do it. Okay. So when we
00:10:34.060 talk about personal excellence, being the ultimate rebellion, you have to understand that every single
00:10:40.600 person that goes out there and builds what it is they want to build and becomes who it is they want
00:10:47.660 to become and creates what it is they want to create is a glaring representation of the fact
00:10:57.000 that you can do anything. And that's a big fucking problem for the system that is designed to keep you
00:11:07.080 exactly where you are. Okay. You were not born to be another one of them. You were not born to be a
00:11:17.240 regular Joe. This is why you never feel comfortable with it. This is why you always think bigger. You
00:11:24.300 always think what if, or what could be, if you were completely satisfied with where you are, you
00:11:30.320 wouldn't even have these thoughts. You wouldn't even have these dreams of more. You wouldn't even
00:11:34.860 have this deep inside your soul drive to become more. It wouldn't exist because you'd already be
00:11:43.080 fulfilled and happy. So guys, you have to understand this. If you want things to change, you have to
00:11:51.060 change and you have to be very serious about it. Okay. Men and women for the last 250 years have died,
00:11:59.660 been injured, lost their families, sacrificed their lives for you to have an opportunity to be great.
00:12:06.440 And not enough of us are out here exercising that opportunity the right way. We talk about it.
00:12:16.260 We bitch about it. We cry about it. But how many of us are out there building, becoming,
00:12:23.560 and creating a life that shows people what's possible? Because if you don't fight the culture,
00:12:31.340 this culture will own you. This is a war for your mind. It's a war for your heart. It's a war for your
00:12:39.600 soul. And most of these people have already lost. And the reason they've lost is because they don't
00:12:46.180 know a single person. They haven't witnessed a single person become the best version of
00:12:54.240 themselves and do great things. And that's why it's on you.
00:12:59.020 Went from sleeping on the floor. Now my jewelry box froze. Fuck a pole. Fuck a stove. Counted millions
00:13:05.340 in the code. Bad bitch. Booted swole. Got her on bankroll. Can't fold. Doesn't know. Headshot. Case closed.
