00:00:07.260

00:00:12.420

00:00:23.480
mf ceo project i'm andy i'm your host and i am the motherfucking ceo guys today is sunday sermon
0.77
00:00:32.880
i'm here with my co-host vaughn otherwise known as dj dj god only on sundays that's right what's
00:00:41.020
up dude uh a lot of things are up took my great boner hey dude look dude i was thinking last night
00:00:49.780
i was watching uh um there's a good netflix series my buddy my buddy uh chris prada who's a plastic
00:00:57.480
surgeon he does all the fake titties here in town which i think would be an awesome one sal's wife
0.99
00:01:02.540
works for no no no that's not that's mike niac okay he's a plastic surgeon too but he's in their
00:01:07.140
their buddies but anyway that's how i met uh chris dr prada from niac but uh talk about two great
00:01:14.260
business guys fuck man yeah great business dudes uh good dudes too but uh he recommended us to watch
00:01:23.820
this uh mini series or a documentary series a netflix original called medal of honor all right
00:01:30.340
i just saw that advertised okay yeah it's good is it really good yeah it's good so like what it is
00:01:36.680
is like it's like the stories of medal of honor recipients told by other guys who also won the
00:01:46.580
medal of honor for something else so like one guy who's won the medal of honor is narrating the story
00:01:51.480
and while he's narrating it they have like a like actors that's awesome okay it's really cool
00:01:57.880
uh but what are some of the things that you have to do to get the medal of honor um
00:02:04.840
you have to go above and beyond uh the call of duty uh you have to risk your own life and there
00:02:12.080
has to be witnesses okay and that's that those were the three things that they said in the
00:02:16.820
documentary now there might be more yeah but they said it's very hard to determine um the difference
00:02:24.460
between somebody who gets uh the award right below the medal of honor and the because there's so many
00:02:31.560
guys that do crazy heroic stuff right so i just first of all if you're into that kind of stuff
00:02:39.020
like band of brothers you ever seen that oh yeah that's my favorite series ever that's an incredible
00:02:43.720
one and then the one that's kind of the counterpart to that isn't too bad the pacific did you ever
00:02:48.320
watch yeah yeah yeah the band of brothers though is just i think that's the best one ever it's
00:02:52.140
awesome well i'm all about world war ii okay so you'll love this all right because it also covers
00:02:56.980
like modern metal medal of honor recipients it's not just like it's old and new guys who were past
00:03:03.120
guys who are still living it's just really cool that's awesome um but dude i was i was watching it
00:03:09.780
and uh one of this at the end of this each series they show the actual ceremony where they get the
00:03:17.480
medal of honor and then read uh the citation of the description of what they did and dude
00:03:24.560
it's no secret that like i tend everybody that listens to this knows that i tend to lean towards
00:03:31.560
conservative we talked about this on last sunday i think i can't really remember what we talked about
00:03:36.680
because i was in the middle of a fucking rant but uh people liked it yeah well i believe well dude it's
0.92
00:03:42.420
the fucking truth and everybody knows it's the truth yeah okay i don't even want to get started
0.94
00:03:47.020
because i will go off certainly when it comes to national defense you are conservative well i'm just
00:03:52.180
fiscally conservative and i'm socially liberal i'm more of a libertarian but i lean towards voting to
00:03:56.820
the right because the left is so fucking aggressive with pushing their views on people right that i
0.90
00:04:02.380
don't i don't believe in that right like i believe in live and let live like if you could do your thing
00:04:07.260
do your thing you don't need to push it on me yeah all right that's not equality equality is we all get
00:04:11.780
to do what the fuck we want to do right all right so um anyway so i never voted for obama and i quite
0.50
00:04:21.240
honestly i thought he was a terrible fucking president terrible in every fucking way terrible
0.97
00:04:25.320
for the country's culture terrible for race relations terrible for the economy i think he's the worst
1.00
00:04:31.100
fucking president that ever lived he's up there for sure okay and and and if you look at the statistics
00:04:36.760
that's not an argument that can be argued okay the stats don't fucking lie numbers wise it is what
0.89
00:04:44.180
it is right but here's what i here's what i remember thinking as i was watching him
00:04:48.720
i'd like to have a fucking beer with that guy absolutely you know what i'm saying yeah like people
0.93
00:04:55.280
think because i didn't vote for him and i think he was a bad president that i somehow hate him
00:04:59.340
no like dude i don't hate him and dude bill clinton too like i would i would rather have a beer with
00:05:04.920
you know what though i would like to have a beer with obama and bill clinton yeah and you know what
00:05:08.880
i didn't vote for either one of them right and the thing is is like uh i i just think that it's weird
00:05:17.480
today because i remember i was sitting there and i'm thinking my god he just seems like a cool dude
00:05:24.440
like and and he does seem like a cool dude like he seems like a guy i would fucking drink a beer with
0.74
00:05:30.400
that we would joke around shoot some fucking hoops talk shit smokes of cigarettes you know what i'm
0.98
00:05:35.780
saying maybe smoke some weed like you know if nobody was fucking watching you know what i'm saying
0.94
00:05:40.200
like he just seems like he seems like a cool fucking dude yeah and uh and i think it's interesting and
0.74
00:05:44.980
it got me thinking um how it's interesting today that if you disagree with someone's motives or you
00:05:57.000
disagree with their politics or you disagree with what they believe that somehow they have to be
00:06:02.960
your enemy right you have to hate them yeah and like why is that what is that like where where did
00:06:09.520
where did it go that like you and i as grown men who have totally different worldviews can have
00:06:17.480
different points of view about what we've experienced and what we believe and all of these things that
00:06:30.260
compared to what we have in common right okay because we have much more in common than we do
00:06:37.080
different and that and if you were a black man it would be the same right if you were an asian man
00:06:41.400
it would be the same if you were a woman it'd be the same we have far more in common
00:06:45.220
than we do to fight about right but human nature at least human culture culture over the last
00:06:53.080
and i do think obama had a part in this honestly over the last 12 years or so
00:07:01.420
has become so polarizing and divisive that it makes
00:07:07.100
us believe that if we disagree with someone's point of views that we don't like that person or we can't
00:07:16.860
hang out with that person or we can't go to dinner with that person or we can't like their shit on social
0.86
00:07:21.400
media you know what i mean and like like they're you're either all the way with me or you're all
00:07:26.480
the way against me and that's it right you know and i think that's yeah i think that's a shame it is a
00:07:31.020
shame i think it's i think it really is because somehow we've let the extremes dictate what's the
00:07:37.360
normal policy in america like i mean i experienced this as a pastor i used to hang out with a lot of
00:07:44.660
people that were were not very good christian people and and there were more jesus yeah and
00:07:49.800
yeah exactly and there were there were really really conservative people in my congregation this
00:07:54.460
wasn't the majority but there were really really conservative people like hyper conservative that'd be
00:07:59.020
like why are you why are you hanging out with these guys but is it bavon isn't your job as as a leader
00:08:05.420
of the church to help people improve yeah they thought that by me they thought that by me hanging
00:08:12.360
out with guys that were radically different that i was somehow approving of what they did or said
00:08:18.220
and i and i think that's crazy but of course the exact opposite extreme is the liberals who say
00:08:23.100
you only love me and really value me if you subscribe to what i say like which is not true and i honestly i'm
00:08:31.460
i won't get into this but i do think that there are certain people with certain kinds of lifestyle
00:08:35.640
that they either say you approve of it you celebrate it or you hate me no you don't you don't have to
00:08:41.400
approve or celebrate and you don't have to hate either right exactly you know so my question is why do
00:08:47.540
people like you and me why do we have friends that are all over the spectrum and i do yeah and i do too
00:08:54.940
and and i why do we have friends who are all over the spectrum i talk to on a regular basis who are
00:09:00.280
dude i have people that represent my company that are extreme fucking liberal feminists extreme right
1.00
00:09:08.140
like the furthest i know exactly who you're thinking okay and you know what dude they represent
00:09:14.480
their views in a respectful manner and they're they have logical discussions and i can respect that
00:09:20.900
now do i agree with those viewpoints no i don't agree with a lot of the things that are said but that
00:09:27.180
doesn't mean that we can't work together we can't do things productive together we can't be friends
00:09:31.440
can't have drinks can't have a dinner can't support each other you know and i think that's something
00:09:37.060
that really i think that's a big problem with uh with our culture right now you know kind of
00:09:44.780
continuing on from what we talked about last sunday where we you know basically just went off on all the
00:09:49.540
problems i've had some time and you've had some time to talk about some of the maybe the actual
00:09:55.040
causes and the causes yeah on a on a person by person basis right and i think that's what we're
00:10:00.780
talking about here is that you know we have to recover the lost art of disagreeing with one
00:10:08.600
another without despising one another and there are there are many ways to do that uh but they require
00:10:15.100
maturity and they require logic and they require understanding and tolerance and compassion which
00:10:22.340
by the way are all the things that the extreme left preach right but they don't exercise you know
00:10:30.380
what i mean yeah i agree man i i grew up i mean i'm i'm getting old i'm older than most people in our in
00:10:35.600
our uh in our listening audience and the truth is is that i remember being a young kid and all the
00:10:43.740
democrats that i knew all the liberals that i knew they were the ones that were protecting free speech
00:10:48.840
they were the ones that were saying like no you ought to be able to share that and not have
00:10:53.360
somebody jump all over you and in some ways it was the hyper conservative people that wanted to like
00:10:58.220
censor people i remember you know yeah and now it's gotten to where liberalism has become this like
00:11:02.920
if you don't toe the line with political correctness if you speak your mind you are censored
00:11:07.520
right and and we only tolerate that which like it's almost like they assume that we all really think
00:11:13.800
what they think right we're scared to say it's crazy and the worst the worst thing about it the worst
00:11:18.880
thing about it is is that it's like literally that whole mindset has completely infested our
00:11:25.960
university system oh yeah so all the people i'm not all of them but they're by and large you know
00:11:31.120
these kids go to these state universities and there's not really a healthy marketplace of ideas
00:11:35.740
there's the really off the rocker professor who's espousing his views and if you question him or any of
00:11:41.660
the really active liberal groups on campus you're somehow a hate monger or you're a bigot or racist
00:11:47.520
or whatever you can't raise any legitimate questions and the funny thing and what that what those people
00:11:52.240
don't understand is that by attacking people for questioning what they believe with those sort of
00:12:00.200
attacks all you're doing is removing the validity of those statements like now the term racist doesn't
00:12:07.620
mean what it meant five years ago right eight years ago right like everybody everybody is everybody's
00:12:12.920
a racist have you have you heard about what this what's happened and i'm using this as an example
00:12:17.600
but have you heard about what's happened with this this young asian girl at the university of
00:12:21.720
california berkeley her name is isabella wong or something like that well there was a there was a big
00:12:26.960
like student government vote and it was on something i don't i don't know what it was but it was on
00:12:31.840
something about the whole transsexual issue and what she did is she she's a student senator and
1.00
00:12:37.260
what she did was she said hey listen i have all the love in the world um for all different kinds of
00:12:44.020
people wherever they're coming from but me personally from my personal point of view i believe that they're
00:12:50.580
really only two genders man and woman and so i can't in good conscience vote for whatever this
00:12:56.680
whatever they were voting for sounds reasonable right i mean she's just speaking up to it for her
00:13:02.640
thing she has been absolutely vilified like she's been called a hate monger she's been called anti this
0.96
00:13:09.920
and anti that because she actually thinks that there's two genders instead of 27 genders um it's
1.00
00:13:16.340
and again i'm not getting into who's right and who's wrong on that issue what i'm getting into is that if
00:13:20.240
you read what she said it was very it was expressed very respectfully very lovingly and let and yet she is
00:13:25.660
being tarred and feathered like in the media in the media really at california berkeley like there's
00:13:31.180
all these student groups that are calling her a hate monger and that she's anti you know transsexual
0.95
00:13:36.340
or whatever whatever but it just goes the point being is that how have we gotten to a point in our
00:13:43.060
culture where we can't like legitimately express ourselves in very honorable uh respectful you know
00:13:50.840
loving ways without all of a sudden somebody coming back and saying no you're a hate monger or
00:13:55.400
you're you know homophobic or whatever that's an easy argument it's easy it's easy to call someone
00:14:02.240
a bigot it's easy to call someone a racist it's easy to say you're fear mongering or hate mongering
00:14:08.520
it's easy to say someone's a homophobe but what's not easy is to sit down and examine their argument
00:14:16.100
their argument and then also examine your own argument yeah and then see what pieces fit where
00:14:22.980
that takes thought that takes reflection and it takes humility and there's not a lot of those
00:14:28.280
things going around right now no not at all uh you know it's interesting um well i was saying we you and
00:14:34.060
i both we have we have lots of friends who are on a wide variety of a spectrum and on the one hand we
00:14:38.540
get along with all of them on the other hand we're not actually saying that you know the differences
00:14:45.000
between what you believe and what i believe we're not saying oh they don't matter we're striking that
00:14:49.500
balance between saying hey what we believe on this does matter and our differences do matter but
00:14:55.240
they don't keep us from engaging one another in friendship you know so my question is why is it
00:15:02.060
that you and i and a lot of people like us are able to do that but the vast majority of people aren't
00:15:05.920
like why don't why i don't consider myself super special i don't think i'm like super unique in my
00:15:12.700
ability to get along with people but it does seem like what we well let's be exercise in our own
00:15:18.780
lives is increasingly rare let's be real dude okay uh i was just on phone with randall pitch right as i
00:15:27.380
was driving up to the headquarters today and we were we were talking and we were laughing about how like
00:15:34.120
we were actually talking about this exact thing uh but we were laughing at how um you know
00:15:41.660
if you we were literally having almost this exact same conversation uh but we were laughing about
00:15:51.600
how like dude neither one of us will go on facebook very much anymore and the reason why we don't go on
00:15:56.620
facebook is because the amount of stupidity and negativity and it's so negative that like when
00:16:03.900
you're busy you've got to be conscious about what you allow in your brain because if you let those
00:16:13.700
things take a space in your brain that's less space for things that are going to be productive and you
00:16:17.560
just can't do that because we're like anybody else dude uh you know i could read something online and
00:16:22.440
it can infuriate me and cause me the next three hours to be concerned with shit that really doesn't
0.86
00:16:27.740
fucking matter and um we were laughing you know i think the first difference of what you're asking
0.76
00:16:36.040
on that question is that dude first of all you got to believe you got to understand all right what
00:16:41.840
we're bombarded with on a daily basis is literally and i don't say this to be mean but it's literally the
00:16:49.380
one percent lowest intelligence of the world the malcontents of the world absolutely so we see the dumbest
00:16:56.720
people arguing with the dumbest motherfucking people right okay and then we're and then what
0.86
00:17:00.600
we assume is that everybody's like that but the truth is is that most people are keeping their
00:17:05.220
mouth shut like you and i and they're having logical conversations so first off don't think that just
00:17:11.100
because and i'm talking to myself here too don't think just because you see this shit everywhere
0.66
00:17:15.600
it's how everybody is because it's not true right okay um second of all uh i believe that like
00:17:24.800
you know intelligent people especially you know once you grow up a little bit um and and when i say
00:17:35.320
grow up i mean like you know you start to think for yourself okay instead of like looking to other
00:17:43.660
places for validation or looking to the news uh because dude let's be real the media has an agenda
00:17:49.540
and their agenda is to be extreme okay uh that's why you know we have all these shootings is because
00:17:56.380
the fucking media sensationalizes the fucking shootings and these kids who are lost think that
0.87
00:18:02.620
their only way to be relevant is to do shit like that if the media would be responsible media and
00:18:08.600
promote shit that was actually productive and positive in an unbiased format we would have a lot
00:18:14.380
less of these fucking things going on yeah and and the truth of it is is that we're going to watch
0.90
00:18:19.160
the media's message no matter what so um it's it's a commitment that that they got away from you know
00:18:29.260
it used to be the news used to be and when you went to school for journalism it was learn how to report
00:18:36.460
what what does that mean that means observe right and fucking say what happened and let the people
0.75
00:18:44.000
decide what they think about it now when you go to journalism school it's about how to make a spin
00:18:51.360
so that you can get the spotlight on you and and position yourself as some sort of authority so that
00:19:00.320
you could move up and get your own show and become dude if you if you watch these people on the news
00:19:05.880
and you take a step back and you watch them and not listen to what they're saying you can truly see
00:19:11.360
that they're in it for themselves absolutely they're in it to become a star they want to be the bill o'reilly
00:19:17.380
they want to be uh the uh rachel maddow they want to be those people so how do they become those people by
00:19:25.260
acting like those people on every fucking story that they get you see this shit in sports how many times
0.94
00:19:31.700
in sports do you see somebody make a three-yard fucking run and the guy calling the play is trying
0.94
00:19:37.540
to make it sound like he just won the super bowl you know what i mean right oh he's about to oh he
00:19:42.240
got tackled and you know like dude it's the most annoying shit in the world but all that is is them
0.96
00:19:47.740
trying to progress themselves and by them trying to progress themselves they are feeding us shit
00:19:53.360
that hurts us absolutely it hurts our ability to relate to people it makes us think poorly of
00:19:59.600
people it makes us think that issues that are my minor issues are massive issues right and if dude
00:20:07.400
if you watch the news black people and white people fucking hate each other right all of them all of
0.93
00:20:12.200
them yeah like yeah like all the black dudes in the warehouse they fucking hate all the white dudes
0.98
00:20:16.680
that's why they're back there fighting right now right right they're having a fucking race war in a
0.89
00:20:20.480
fucking back room if you watch the news that's what would be on the news yeah you know 17 white
0.95
00:20:25.700
guys beat up four black guys right in a racial racially motivated snowball fight right you know
00:20:31.060
because we just had a snowball fight this morning but like dude that's the shit that that you know
0.88
00:20:36.180
people the dumb people watch and then people put ads yeah you know and and more than that they'll
00:20:42.820
leave it in this in the situation you just described they'll find the one representative of his or
00:20:48.900
her race who's like the worst possible guy and they'll pluck that guy so they'll find the one
1.00
00:20:52.920
they'll they'll say uh one black man complained that the that the snow was white you know yeah no
00:20:59.460
and then like zoom in on that guy so that and then white people read that and they're like man stupid
00:21:04.180
you know you know what god's god's fucking racist dude you know why because he made snow white yeah
0.86
00:21:09.380
right exactly no it's just crazy but you know what that reminds me i i don't know if you'd be up for
00:21:14.140
this someday but i news has been so biased for so long that people are so so used to it
00:21:21.980
someday we ought to have a a show just about here's how to read the newspaper no here's how to pick up
00:21:28.440
on the bias because there are certain words that are telltale indicators that this this isn't a
00:21:33.920
headline dude this is a this is a statement of opinion people exactly by the way the new york
00:21:39.100
times is one of the worst offenders of it vaughn you're a fucking you're a writer you studied this
0.99
00:21:44.660
shit dude i truly truly believe that most people do not know how to watch the news and pick up the
0.60
00:21:55.220
bias i feel like they they feel like i should be able to trust the news what they're saying is true
00:22:00.900
and and that's why people who watch whatever station right regurgitate that shit
0.73
00:22:06.360
you know over and over and that becomes their beliefs like they truly believe it's the truth
00:22:12.240
right it is not the fucking truth and you have to be smart enough to be able to step above
00:22:17.880
and and think on your own and to answer your question what's the difference i i really think
00:22:24.240
besides all those little things we just mentioned the biggest thing is that once you grow up and you
00:22:28.720
start thinking for yourself and you develop the ability to rise above and look down and decide what's
00:22:34.040
what on your own right then you start to become very secure in your beliefs that's a key okay and
00:22:41.680
so when you become secure in your beliefs you don't feel the need to push them on other people
00:22:48.580
because it's not about other people it's about what you believe right it's about what your family
00:22:52.780
represents okay how am i going to raise my kids how am i going to run my company how am i going to
00:22:57.840
teach the people who follow me what message do i represent what core values do i stand for and when you
00:23:03.500
become solid there you spend zero effort arguing with people that disagree and you don't mind with
00:23:09.620
people disagree because you know what i know what i am i know what i represent i know what i'm about
00:23:15.960
so i don't need outside validation from joe blow on fucking facebook absolutely i mean
0.95
00:23:21.980
what would you do if if some 18 year old punk said to you hey andy uh
00:23:30.060
you don't know anything about building a business i would ignore it you would ignore it i would you
00:23:37.800
might get mad in the sense of get irritated but would you get offended no no why would you why
00:23:42.580
would you not get offended i know i know how to run a business right because you know it it's like
00:23:46.160
if somebody said to me dude i would i i get people to say that i have people to say that shit
0.90
00:23:50.520
like i have people to say that shit on my instagram literally every time i post oh dude you know what
0.84
00:23:56.020
you just got fucking lucky doing that you're just another fucking snake oil salesman that got lucky
0.92
00:24:00.100
blah blah blah like dude i just fucking block the motherfuckers right you know like and it's it's like
0.99
00:24:05.520
if somebody were to say to me you know you suck i don't even respond i just fucking block them
00:24:10.060
like it's not and then like i block them and then usually what happens is i'll get dude it's funny
00:24:16.380
because emily hates this shit by the way don't do this what i'm about to say bless you well
0.90
00:24:23.520
that was a big sneeze bless you god bless you thank you thank you i need it uh so uh but dude
00:24:35.220
they'll dm emily and they'll say your husband blocked me i was in a bad mood i don't know what
00:24:40.920
i was doing could you ask him to unblock me you know what the answer is no no don't be an asshole
0.97
00:24:45.680
right you know what i'm saying so um but i just feel like the more secure
00:24:51.140
you are the less you feel the need to defend yourself absolutely you know absolutely i can
00:24:58.780
say with a clear conscience and i'm not and i'm not you know we've talked about but don't you think
00:25:01.980
that comes with with with learning to think for yourself i think it comes with learning to think
00:25:06.200
for this yourself but i also think it comes with just taking the time to evaluate your own opinions
00:25:12.040
and your own beliefs it's not just thinking for yourself but it's actually giving some time to
00:25:16.680
studying what you say you believe for instance i know i get it i know that there are very very very
00:25:22.280
smart people out there who literally do not believe that there is a god but i've studied it enough i've
00:25:27.440
studied the arguments for and against that if somebody were to come up to me and would go dude
00:25:31.060
you're an idiot god doesn't exist it's that's just i wouldn't be offended which is not offended by
0.97
00:25:37.100
that that's probably an argument that you hear right i hear that all the time and i'm not offended
00:25:40.980
that by that because i'm secure in my own beliefs because i've taken time to study it i've taken time
00:25:45.360
to evaluate i'm not i'm not in a million years saying that i am infallible and that i couldn't
00:25:50.340
possibly in any way shape or form be wrong but i've studied enough that i'm not offended if somebody
00:25:55.600
says that i'm not offended if somebody says any number of things against my religion because it's
00:26:00.520
okay it doesn't mean that first of all i think people have lost the fine art of somebody attacking
00:26:06.380
their views without them thinking they're attacking them that's because of the internet
00:26:10.560
yeah dude the argue dude people have lost the fine art of how to fucking argue absolutely like dude
0.89
00:26:16.740
how many times have you and you and i argued a lot yeah you and i have argued a lot yeah like people
00:26:22.080
don't ever really hear it but like dude we'll be talking about something and we'll get an argument
00:26:25.640
yeah but have i ever said hey vaughn you're a piece of shit you know that's where people people take
0.79
00:26:31.720
it from like an argument online that then it becomes it automatically goes from i disagree with
00:26:38.360
you to you're a fucking piece of shit right fuck you right you know it's like right dude if that's
1.00
00:26:43.980
the best way that you know how to argue you're gonna have to learn how to argue really well in life
00:26:49.300
because guess what life is it's a long series of fucking arguments it's it's tension it's conflict
0.94
00:26:54.620
and that's how you grow and uh yeah so basically what we're saying so far i guess is that if you want
00:26:58.940
to be able to have these and i agree with you by the way yeah yeah yeah like i think we're saying
00:27:02.460
sort of the same thing no no i 100 i just wanted to take a second because we've covered a lot of
00:27:06.720
things i'm just going to say for those of you who are following us because i'm sure you are but you
00:27:10.020
know when when two geniuses get on the get on you know sometimes it's hard to follow that's true
00:27:13.940
you know well at least when there's one genius yeah exactly one genius and one would be um but no i
00:27:18.540
think i think with the with the art what we're saying here is that if you want to have the kind of
00:27:22.800
relationships where you can disagree but still really connect as friends one you got to be
00:27:27.620
securing your your beliefs which is what andy was talking about and the second thing is i think
00:27:32.820
kind of reading between the lines of what you said is you've got to learn how to attack the problem or
00:27:37.620
attack the attack the the claim not the person don't don't make it personal just say hey we're
00:27:43.260
just arguing about some sort of issue and i have good i have good friends like really good friends
00:27:48.380
that i know i could call in a pinch yeah that completely disagree with everything i fucking absolutely
0.98
00:27:54.020
like about about my political views you know they're on complete opposite end yeah but if i
00:28:00.020
call them today they will fucking show up absolutely you know what i mean and we've lost that we have
0.97
00:28:05.900
it's it's crazy but um i i just it is sad but i do think it i do think at the end of the day
00:28:13.080
the reason that most people are offended is not because somebody said something that is objectively
00:28:18.580
offensive it's because they themselves are insecure absolutely and they are thin-skinned
00:28:24.020
and they take everything personally right and they you know and dude you want to flip it around
00:28:29.120
on someone like when they get all offended and they fucking get pissed off because this is what
0.94
00:28:32.940
people do right like what i just said you say something or you type something or you post something
00:28:37.540
they disagree and then they say vaughn you're a fucking retard right right right and you just say back
0.96
00:28:44.420
you want to flip it on someone you should say something like this hey uh i don't know what i
00:28:49.120
did to to to take it to that level i respect that you disagree but you know they don't know what to do
00:28:55.400
no need to get like that and you know what they'll do every time you're right bro i'm sorry yeah you
00:28:59.660
know what i mean yeah yeah well but but at first it'll kind of stun them yeah because they're being a
00:29:04.360
bigger person yeah absolutely now look i'm the first guy that wants to say fuck you brother
0.92
00:29:08.380
right like you know but the truth is is like i i don't really have the time or energy to deal with it
00:29:13.600
so i just block them but a lot of you guys like to argue with people so if you want to fuck with
0.97
00:29:17.520
them just yeah sort of agree with them be like yeah you know what sometimes i am retarded but i
0.78
00:29:22.420
don't think we need to take it there right now and they're like uh right but it is amazing though
00:29:27.500
that people have really lost the art of determining the difference between a statement that's an
00:29:33.420
objectively critical statement of a particular position or belief and something that's an insult
00:29:37.660
or or something that's truly offensive so for instance you know back in the day if somebody
00:29:43.740
if somebody said um you know some sort of racial slur they said oh you're just a stupid whatever
00:29:48.840
yeah well that is offensive okay but we've gotten to the point where if somebody says you know what
00:29:53.960
in evaluating the the antidotes for institutional racism in our country i actually don't feel like uh you
00:30:02.020
know affirmative action scholarships are really effective in helping that so that's just that's just
00:30:06.780
you're just making a statement about something you believe you're racist but you're racist right
00:30:11.480
and they don't they don't see the difference between stating an opinion on policy when i'm
00:30:16.760
actually making an insult yeah but when a real answer to that would be like you know what i don't
00:30:24.140
necessarily agree with that but there's probably some areas that we could improve on it right so
00:30:28.740
what are those areas you see i'm saying oh yeah yeah where's that conversation yeah like where's that
00:30:34.720
yeah well that would require once again a certain level of brain power and thinking right you know
00:30:40.700
what though dude i will say this on you're fucking honky yeah yeah you know yeah fucking racist honky
0.99
00:30:45.640
right you know we've we've been kind of tough on the on the left and by the way that goes both ways
00:30:50.880
yeah i was just about to say we've been kind of tough on the left the one thing that i get
00:30:53.760
really really frustrated because there's some fucking dumb motherfucking conservatives out there
00:30:57.480
absolutely it's like i was and there is some fucking fault as much as there is far left
0.97
00:31:02.260
ridiculous fucking dumb fucks there is the same amount of far right oh absolutely absolutely
00:31:09.240
and i think you do nothing but fucking stir the pot you know they're doing everything they can to be
0.96
00:31:14.760
to be offensive without actually saying offensive racial words right you know what i'm saying or like
00:31:21.560
divisive homophobic words it's like they say it without saying it just so you know guys listening
00:31:28.120
we don't like that shit either no absolutely that shit's fucking just as bad like the way you guys
0.99
00:31:34.300
see it uh like on the left is the same way that us in the middle you know white hand right see it too
00:31:40.280
yeah i absolutely i i we should honestly dude we should figure out a way to cut off like the the the
0.95
00:31:46.620
far left five percent and the far right five percent and like send those motherfuckers to different
1.00
00:31:51.120
islands and the rest of us could just be happy absolutely i agree you know it's um to kind of
00:31:57.600
illustrate that here's a perfect example while it is true that people take the whole there you know
00:32:02.320
there's a racist under every rock thing the flip side of that is that you know if you study our nation's
00:32:07.500
history like in 1921 50 000 clansmen uh congregated in washington dc and held a rally in like as late as
00:32:18.180
the 40s and 50s one in four of of the people that stayed of indiana i'm not picking on indiana because
00:32:23.580
hey i'm from kansas so we had some of our same issues but one in four were members of the kkk
00:32:28.720
holy shit oh yeah it's crazy really yeah one in four of of adult white males was a member of the kkk
00:32:36.540
wow um so and there's just been some like if you get into the i've i've i read the um the autobiography
00:32:42.380
of martin luther king i mean in the 50s and 60s there were literally white people blowing up black
00:32:47.600
churches and killing black kids and so when i hear somebody say today dude that was like 50 years
00:32:55.720
ago or just get over it you know like that wasn't that long ago that wasn't that long ago and we we
00:33:00.500
you know i do believe that this is the greatest country the world has ever seen that said it
00:33:06.220
doesn't mean we're perfect that's right it doesn't mean we can't learn from our mistakes right and just
00:33:10.380
to sort of casually dismiss our history well that happened like you know 50 years ago that's to me
00:33:15.660
that's the opposite extreme that's like so downplaying the fact yeah that we do have a
00:33:20.120
history of this now i'm not standing up for those people who say that because i don't like that either
00:33:23.860
but in the cases when that's when those kind of things are said i feel like they're usually provoked
00:33:31.260
by comments of saying well you guys got to pay reparations right you guys got to pay like this
00:33:38.060
extreme you you've got to pay money for shit that happened right right exactly so right no i totally
0.68
00:33:44.080
agree with you so it's like these two extreme arguments of that of stupidity right to be
00:33:51.380
completely honest absolutely and the rest of us are caught in the crossfire right which is why
00:33:55.120
what we're saying here guys about the internet right it gives the fucking it gives everybody a voice
0.75
00:34:01.080
yeah absolutely not everybody deserves that voice and i think the answer is is have a firm position
00:34:06.700
be proud of your position but be reasonable like don't don't don't refuse to hear any of the claims of
00:34:13.260
the other side that's to me that's the problem is that we're so caught in the crossfire between
00:34:17.320
extremes that that when somebody says hey listen you're right not everything's racist but we do
00:34:21.840
need to recognize that there are some there are some historical racial undertones and and just have
00:34:26.840
a reasonable conversation the problem is we can't because the the extremes are so loud dude it's
00:34:31.200
because everybody's a liar yeah everybody's lying everybody's lying everybody's lying about the
00:34:36.340
issues okay like dude if like i'm talking about racism like
00:34:42.920
generations that are still alive today that are 60 plus years old they grew up using the term nigger
00:34:52.360
as if it was the term dude right you know what i'm saying like it was a common term right and
00:34:58.440
if you don't think that every single fucking white person every single one has family members in
0.75
00:35:05.480
their family that use the term nigger right they're a fucking liar right that's the truth
1.00
00:35:09.640
okay it's way fucking it's way more than what fucking white people want want to fucking say it is
0.86
00:35:16.360
absolutely but you know what it's also the truth is if you if you're fucking black and you your family
0.91
00:35:22.320
doesn't sit there and talk about the fucking white man and you act like that shit don't happen
0.87
00:35:25.820
you're fucking liar too everybody has their issues that's right no question absolutely so
0.88
00:35:31.480
and until those conversations at home are fucking not tolerated right you know what i'm saying like
0.90
00:35:39.660
where you hear your crazy uncle fucking saying that you say hey don't fucking say that right that's not
0.94
00:35:43.940
okay you know what i'm saying absolutely or whatever and that goes for both sides until the fucking
0.97
00:35:49.120
conversation is handled on the home front in the family gonna fucking change yep 100 because that shit is
0.96
00:35:56.060
taught you know what i'm saying like your kids hear your kids hear your crazy uncle hear that shit
0.96
00:36:01.560
and then they're like what's that mean and that's where it fucking starts yeah and until those
0.86
00:36:05.420
conversations are controlled at home and you and i'm talking to all of you stop tolerating that kind
00:36:11.360
of shit it ain't gonna change because here's what's happening right now you have motherfuckers who
1.00
00:36:18.180
tolerate that shit at home and then come out in public and act like they don't tolerate right and then
0.80
00:36:23.040
they're like well i don't know where this comes from like everybody's a liar they're all fucking
0.99
00:36:26.640
lying and there are some excuses but almost to a person if some kid is saying it it's probably
00:36:33.680
because they heard it at home it's probably because they heard it from their dad no shit mom yeah yeah
00:36:37.120
100 so okay so in order to have these great relationships where we can disagree but not
00:36:41.900
despise each other you gotta be secure in your own beliefs and you gotta you gotta learn to attack
00:36:45.620
the problem not the person and don't take it personal but i'm curious and i think there's an
00:36:49.800
element of sales in this so i'm excited to hear what you say you have to say but let me ask you
00:36:55.340
andy if you are going to influence somebody if you are going to persuade them to your point
00:37:00.760
how do you go about doing it instead of just yelling at people
00:37:22.280
i when i was younger and when i say younger i mean like under the age of 30
00:37:37.040
okay uh like to dominate the conversation you know what i mean
00:37:41.780
i'm right and here's why and here's this this this this this
00:37:47.320
and until i completely destroyed the other person or we got in a fucking fight
0.98
00:38:05.120
when you're in business which a lot of you guys are that's why you listen to this
00:38:11.700
is to have a argument where the person walks away
00:38:16.420
um so i realized that and i realized that it probably would affect my money
00:38:22.560
and that's what made me start to like evaluate how i was
00:38:34.520
uh and and coincidentally when i started to realize that i started to make a lot more money
00:38:44.380
you first of all you got to know when it's appropriate
00:39:07.700
because 50 percent of the people are going to disagree with you
00:39:11.800
and because of the nature of our culture right now
00:39:29.740
like what if you're posting shit on your social
0.57
00:39:49.100
but you're probably not going to progress very well in that company
00:42:14.240
because that person has made a conscious decision
00:42:21.100
and even though he's upset with Chevy right now
00:44:14.800
I actually started to look forward to his jokes
