If you want to make your dream become reality, the people that are running after their dream know they're going to have hard times.
00:00:06.840
They keep on running because they're saying within themselves, I'm the one, I'm the one.
00:00:12.080
No matter how bad it is or how bad it gets, I'm going to make it.
00:00:20.260
What is up, guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project.
00:00:23.320
I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO.
00:00:26.900
If this is your first time joining us, welcome.
00:00:29.740
The goal of this podcast is to get you to become the MFCEO of your life.
00:00:38.020
That means figuring out how to take control, how to be effective, how to rise above the bullshit that we have to deal with in society
00:00:49.180
and realize that you are the person that ultimately dictates your success.
00:00:54.780
Today is Sunday Sermon, and as always on Sunday Sermon, I'm joined by my co-host, Vaughn, the pastor of Disaster.
00:01:08.540
I'm good, man. I have lots of questions I want to ask you that really don't have anything to do with our specific topic,
00:01:14.120
but man, I would love to ask you at least one of them.
00:01:19.040
Yeah, so I was reading this article the other day saying that, you know, the Lakers, they got LeBron James,
00:01:24.380
and I know that you're not a basketball guy, but...
00:01:28.940
So apparently LeBron James is not buying into defense as much as he should.
00:01:35.000
Like, for the Lakers to be truly transcendent, he needs to play better defense.
00:01:39.480
If you're Luke Walton, you're a young guy, relatively young head coach, how do you motivate a guy
00:01:48.360
who's already the level of greatness, but apparently is not...
00:01:54.240
I don't know. I mean, but how would you, how would you, Andy Frisella, sit down and talk to LeBron...
00:02:05.600
I would fucking sit the motherfucker down, and I would say, hey, look, dude, you got all
00:02:10.000
the tools to be great. You've already been great, but here's the reality. The reality
00:02:15.880
is the people who are greater than you, which is not debatable...
00:02:20.460
You might think it's debatable because of your own ego, but it's not debatable. The people
00:02:24.760
who are better than you did these things, and these things are the things that help the
00:02:30.180
team become great, and if you're just worried about you being great, you're leaving a lot
00:02:35.380
of greatness on the table, and you might not understand that right now because you're
00:02:38.860
still young. You're very wealthy. You've done very well, and it's hard for you to really
00:02:44.140
wrap your brain around your legacy at this point in your life, but your legacy is going
00:02:49.200
to be... It's not going to be how many titles you won. It's not going to be how many points
00:02:56.800
you scored. It's not going to be how much money you made. Your greatness is going to be judged
00:03:00.760
by how much you left on the table, and that's what I would talk to him about, and I would
00:03:05.020
have, obviously, a longer conversation than that, but the truth of it is people's greatness
00:03:11.380
is not ultimately spoken about in terms of what they accomplish. It's spoken about in
00:03:18.240
terms of what they didn't accomplish. You know what I mean?
00:03:23.020
If you think about anybody who's been great in the world, they talk about all these things
00:03:27.020
that they did. They conquered this. They won this. They did this, this, this, but really
00:03:32.020
when you're alone and you're at home and you're by yourself, you know how much you left on the
00:03:41.760
table, and so while everybody else might think you're great, you're not going to feel fulfilled
00:03:47.400
because you know what you left on the fucking table, and that's a problem. I deal with that
00:03:52.280
a lot, to be completely honest, because I'm not the wealthiest guy. I'm not the most successful
00:04:00.340
guy in our industry. I'm not the most successful guy in any industry, but the truth of it is
00:04:07.760
I've done pretty good so far from where I started, okay? But when I'm at home and I'm alone, dude,
00:04:14.620
I know I got a lot more to fucking give, and that's what bothers me at night. The things that
00:04:20.600
bother me keep me up at night aren't, you know, I don't, like, people think, like, oh, yeah,
00:04:25.960
you're just sitting there and you're talking, you know, I had this kid stop me at the gas station
00:04:30.600
today. Oh, I've got to take my sweatshirt off. I had this kid stop me at the gas station today.
00:04:36.180
I was driving my Aventador SV, and he's like, dude, that car's so cool, and I'm like, yeah,
00:04:45.280
thanks, man, blah, blah, blah. He's like, dude, I love following you on Instagram. We were talking
00:04:48.500
and stuff, and he's like, dude, what's it feel like to have, you know, accomplished all the things
00:04:53.980
you've accomplished and this and that? This kid was, like, 19, 20 years old. He's working across
00:04:58.540
the street at the Ford dealer from the gas station I was getting gas at, and dude, to be completely
00:05:05.360
honest, like, it put me in a bad mood when he asked me that because I don't celebrate
00:05:12.260
these things. You know, I think of all the things I could have done differently and could
00:05:19.160
have done better, and all the times that I could have went 100 when I fucking went 60 or
00:05:26.000
I went 40, and you know what? My 40 is better than most people's 100, and that's the fucking
00:05:30.880
problem with LeBron James right now. LeBron James' 40 is better than fucking everybody else's
00:05:35.340
100, and to the outside, he's fucking amazing, but I guarantee you, dude, that dude has a lot
00:05:43.500
left in the tank. Well, physically, he's a superior specimen to Jordan. I wouldn't know because I
00:05:49.260
don't know shit about him. Yeah, but no, but I hear what you're saying, man. It's not what you've
00:05:54.200
done. It's what you could do. It's like, dude, growing up playing sports, Andy, who was the
00:06:00.400
hardest competition if you were on a good team? I was on a good team? If you were on
00:06:04.980
a great team, team sport, who did you play the worst against? The teams that sucked. Exactly.
00:06:10.560
Right. Yeah, because you expect, you don't, you know, it's like that in anything. It's like
00:06:16.500
that in school, you know? The hardest class are the ones I always did the best in. The easiest
00:06:21.200
class, I didn't do shit. Yeah. You know, and I don't know, man. Like, I don't know,
00:06:30.400
you caught me on a weird day because I'm actually, like, having one of those days where I want
00:06:37.500
to fucking murder everybody, and I'm so sick of society that I can't even fucking stand
00:06:42.840
it. You know, everything about it, dude, I just feel like people in general are just
00:06:48.100
fucking pieces of shit. That's the fucking truth. Like, dude, they're so shallow. They're
00:06:53.300
so fake, you know, and dude, it makes me fucking miserable. Like, I'm scrolling through
00:06:58.400
the internet. Like, I want to delete my fucking Instagram. Like, people are like, why haven't
00:07:02.220
you been posting? Because I fucking can't stand to be on the fucking app. You know, dude,
00:07:06.620
all we see on the internet is these people with nothing else to offer other than their
00:07:11.040
looks. You know, all the quote unquote entrepreneurs trying to sell courses and bullshit programs
00:07:16.900
that have never fucking done the things that they're selling in real life. Right. Which
00:07:21.340
is morally fucked up, in my opinion. You know, all the humble bragging, you know, the
00:07:25.840
people, you know, first of all, if you're going to brag, fucking brag. Like, brag. Right.
00:07:32.480
But humble bragging is annoying as fuck. Like, when motherfuckers, you know, get their nails
00:07:36.820
done and then they put their fucking hand on the steering wheel and it shows the Mercedes
00:07:40.680
symbol. And like, dude, I get it. You're fucking proud of your Mercedes. But instead of being
00:07:45.160
a fucking douchebag and being like, oh, look at my nails. They're so good. And like, trying
00:07:49.600
to show, just take a picture of your fucking car and say, I love this fucking car. And I love
00:07:53.780
that I'm being able to post about it. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, honest about it. Yeah. It's
00:07:57.980
just, it's so fucking inauthentic and annoying. And like, dude, we have all these fake motherfuckers
00:08:05.000
that pretend like they care about people just so they could sell them some shit. You know,
00:08:09.620
all the fucking, you know, it's like high school amplified over the course of the fucking universe.
00:08:16.960
And it's like destroyed our fucking society in like three years. Dude, now, you know,
00:08:23.400
dude, when we were kids, when you got upset, you went home and you know, you said, oh mom,
00:08:30.540
the teacher's being fucking mean to me. And she says, well, what did they do? Well, she yelled
00:08:35.340
at me. Well, what did you do to get yelled at? Well, I didn't do my homework and I was talking
00:08:39.620
in class. And she's like, well, you should have been yelled at for that. Right. Or they fucking
00:08:44.980
spank your ass or the principal calls and says, Hey, your son or daughter was doing this.
00:08:49.260
And guess what? You get in trouble. Now we have a situation where because motherfuckers
00:08:55.040
were picked on in high school or made fun of in high school or told whatever in high school,
00:09:00.440
instead of doing what, what successful people do, which is fucking use the fuel to go out
00:09:07.200
and win. They're going out and shooting up fucking schools and shooting bars and killing
00:09:13.180
innocent people. And people are arguing over, oh, it's the guns. It ain't the fucking
00:09:18.520
guns. We've had guns for fucking through how old is the country? 250 fucking years. We've
00:09:25.820
had the fucking guns. It's not the guns. It's the culture. Right. And it's the heart of
00:09:31.380
the person. It's the culture. Right. And until we stop fucking taking the accountability
00:09:37.460
away from all these fucking kids growing up their whole entire life, that shit, that gun
00:09:44.560
shit ain't going to change because they don't know how to fuck. They think this is my way
00:09:49.240
to be relevant. This is my way to make a difference. Oh, Jerry and Bobby and Tony in high school
00:09:54.360
when they used to beat me up, fuck them. I'm going to be famous and I'm going to kill 30
00:09:58.740
motherfuckers. Right. You know, I don't know if you saw it. There was a video of one of the
00:10:02.980
fucking victims' dads online. I saw it on Tyron Woodley's page. Finding out that his son was
00:10:08.420
killed by an innocent fucking, you know, or killed by the gunman. Just an innocent dude
00:10:13.220
drinking beer like it could be any of us. Right. You know? And dude, it's just society
00:10:20.780
is so fucked, man. It's crazy. And I'm just like, like I'm at my end with it, dude. I don't
00:10:29.100
know how I, the pro here's the problem. And the problem for me personally is I don't see
00:10:33.640
how the fuck it's going to get better. Like I can't see the fucking answer. I can't see
00:10:37.840
how, you know, we're going to fix this shit. Like, dude, you got all these fucking liberal
00:10:43.440
motherfuckers saying, Oh, just take away all the guns. Motherfucker. Are you that fucking
00:10:48.260
stupid? Are you that fucking stupid? Do you think that fucking criminals? Oh, guns are fucking
00:10:54.820
basically illegal in California. And guess what else illegal? Murder. Did that stop
00:10:58.520
it? Are you fucking retarded? Right. Get the fuck out of here. And then you got all the
00:11:03.020
fucking redneck fucking conservatives being like, Oh, fucking guns. Dude, first of all,
00:11:08.040
let me tell you something. If your first fucking move is to politicize a fucking tragedy like
00:11:15.280
that and to say guns or no guns and make it a, you are so fucking morally fucked in the
00:11:21.280
head, your brain is fucked. A hundred percent agree. You know what I'm saying? A hundred
00:11:26.380
percent. Like your first thought and both sides do it. Yes. They both do. Yeah, dude, look,
00:11:30.760
we all have our beliefs and I'm in the middle, you know, I'm socially liberal. I don't care
00:11:35.080
what I'm a libertarian. I don't care what anybody does. Leave me to fuck alone. Don't push your
00:11:39.440
shit on me. I, I tend to sway towards the right because the left works so hard to push their
00:11:46.520
shit on everybody that it makes me fucking sick. Okay. But most of the shit that they do
00:11:51.400
outside of their economic policies, I don't have a problem with. Just leave me to fuck alone.
00:11:56.740
This is, this is funny. So this is something I kind of observed from you, uh, talking about you
00:12:00.940
being an introvert, you know, and I think society made you that way. You didn't always used to be
00:12:07.160
like that. No, dude, dude. I'm sick of people, dude. I'm sick of it. Like you're wanting to retreat
00:12:11.640
from the, it makes, yeah. Dude, the more I get out there, the more I'm around it, the more like,
00:12:17.100
you know what my fucking saving grace is and why I don't blow my fucking brains out? Your dogs.
00:12:21.920
No, besides, besides the dogs, it's being able to come here in this office and see all the
00:12:27.100
motherfuckers working hard, building a life for themselves, doing the shit that society is supposed
00:12:32.820
to do. And me being reminded that it's not all what I think it is. Right. You know what I'm saying?
00:12:40.960
And like, dude, I, I know there's other people that feel this way because they, every time I talk
00:12:46.980
about the shit, they message me and they're like, bro, like, dude, social media is just fucking us
00:12:52.380
all. It's fucking us all because it's making us, it's dude, besides the fact of the ridiculous
00:13:02.580
arguing and the politics and, you know, all the little meaningless, annoying shit, just annoying,
00:13:11.780
like girls just, you know, fishing for compliments or dudes just like doing, dudes do the same shit.
00:13:18.140
You know what I'm saying? It's doing a different way. Um, I just, I just feel like, dude, it's made
00:13:28.340
everybody's attention, their need for attention. It's put them at such a heightened, like that's
00:13:35.540
what they value the most is some fucking attention or some fame or some this or that to where like,
00:13:41.420
dude, they don't have any, it cancels out everything else. Like it doesn't matter if
00:13:44.800
they're true. If they're like, dude, all these motherfuckers online post all these stupid
00:13:48.380
ass fucking memes for likes that make no sense. You know, there's dudes on the internet that have
00:13:53.200
a million plus followers, million, 500,000 plus followers, million plus followers, two million
00:13:58.220
plus followers that post this fucking shit that is total bullshit. And like you look at their
00:14:08.600
business, what have they done? They don't have a company. They're a speaker. Okay. Well, you know,
00:14:16.120
speaker is a lot like teacher. Okay. It's what you do when you can't actually do it. And that's a
00:14:22.920
fucking truth. And if you're a teacher, sorry, if you were fucking teaching entrepreneurship,
00:14:28.560
you'd probably be an entrepreneur because it pays a lot fucking better. You know,
00:14:33.240
you don't like to fucking hear that, then go start a business. I don't give a fuck.
00:14:36.360
But here's the truth. I'm so fucking sick of it. And it's, it bothers me on such a deep level
00:14:43.480
that like, dude, it makes me want to delete all my shit and like, just go away. You know what I mean?
00:14:51.380
Let the motherfuckers here at first form run the company. I'll help and do the things I need to do
00:14:56.240
and just fucking shut it down. Because like, dude, I just feel like the culture's going crazy.
00:15:07.820
It's disgusting, man. Disgusting. Yeah. No, I hear you. I hear you. You know,
00:15:13.140
like, dude, when it's, when you're seeing shootings every other fucking week,
00:15:17.240
that's not a gun problem. That's a fucking culture problem. You know what I'm saying?
00:15:23.100
And everybody wants to fucking put their two cents in because they saw some celebrity or they fucking,
00:15:28.920
their parents told them, or they have some sort of, um, installed belief that came from somewhere else
00:15:37.140
that they identify with and they, they can't think for themselves. They can't think logically or systematically.
00:15:43.240
They just want to be right. I just want to be right. I just want to win the argument.
00:15:47.700
I just want to post something. So it gets a lot of likes, you know what I mean?
00:15:52.160
And like, dude, that is not what the fuck we're supposed to do.
00:15:56.220
The only thing that truly fucking like gives me a little, um, a little bit of relief when I think
00:16:07.840
about this shit is that, you know, those people aren't going to win. They're not going to win in
00:16:13.080
life. They're going to fucking lose. If you're somebody who only post shit because you want likes,
00:16:17.420
you're going to lose. If you're only somebody who only says shit because you want to stir the pot,
00:16:22.000
you're going to fucking lose. You know, dude, this world needs people that are contributing
00:16:28.080
and helping and bringing other people up, not fucking polarizing. And dude, a lot of it's from
00:16:33.560
the media, the fucking media, the media, the whole entire fucking media, but all of it, CNN, Fox,
00:16:40.000
all of them, they should be fucking wiped off the face of the fucking earth. Dude, all they do
00:16:46.820
is pit brother against brother and make fucking me hate that person. And that person hate me,
00:16:53.380
you know, they're basically rewarded for creating division. Do they? No, they are rewarded for
00:16:59.720
creating division. And the problem is the average person is too fucking stupid to see how it works.
00:17:06.880
No, all news media outlets are owned by like three companies. Oh, and do you know how they get
00:17:10.920
paid? How do they get paid? How do they get paid? They get paid when companies run ads and when do
00:17:16.440
companies run ads, when ratings are high and winter ratings high, when people have some fucking
00:17:22.020
shit to argue about. And the media is a business. The media is the biggest fucking business. And
00:17:28.660
right now they are in the business of controversy. Dude, we have the best economy we've had in fucking
00:17:34.520
forever. And you don't hear nothing about it. You don't hear anything about the 200 and fucking
00:17:40.400
80,000 new jobs that were created in October. You don't hear it. Why not? Because that's not
00:17:46.640
fucking news anymore. The only news now is, you know, fucking Donald Trump said some shit to his
00:17:55.020
fucking somebody in the white house or revoke someone's hard pass. Fuck out of here, dude.
00:18:01.400
You know? And like, dude, let's, let's address that. Like, how about this?
00:18:08.760
Can you imagine in another country, a reporter standing up and arguing with the fucking president
00:18:14.380
when he's trying to give a press conference? Dude, in a lot of countries, you get your fucking
00:18:18.580
head cut off for that shit. Right. If you're, if you're, if we're being completely honest,
00:18:24.580
that whole fucking thing is representative of what's great about America is that you can say
00:18:30.880
things, even if you're out of line and you won't get killed for it. You know what I mean? But the
00:18:36.380
truth of it is, is like, dude, it would be nice if fucking people would smarten the fuck up,
00:18:41.120
wise the fuck up and stop buying in to the way they're being manipulated, dude. Like I, it's
00:18:48.040
dude, it's hard for me to fucking swallow, man.
00:18:52.580
No, you're expressing the frustration that a lot of people are feeling. And unfortunately,
00:18:56.320
you know, kind of along the lines of what you're saying, we always hear that certain people are
00:19:02.800
quote unquote outraged. All right. So it might be, you know, conservatives are quote unquote
00:19:08.200
outraged or liberals are outraged over fill in the blank. And I don't know if anybody's ever
00:19:14.040
taken the time to ask like, so who, who are these people that are outraged? Is this just,
00:19:20.700
are the vast majority of the people on the planet, or at least the people in our nation,
00:19:24.440
are they not outraged? They might not agree with something or they might just disagree with
00:19:29.040
something, but we're being told that actually everyone is outraged. Like who, who's outraged?
00:19:34.420
Dude, I was having this conversation with a friend of mine on Instagram, who's a black female. Okay.
00:19:42.920
And we were chatting and we were talking about something and it came up like we got on the topic
00:19:48.740
of like how, uh, how it's on the news. Everything seems to be like the world's fucking getting ready
00:19:57.460
to end. You know what I mean? If you hear the way, if you hear the way that people talk about,
00:20:04.540
uh, Trump or the way that fucking conservatives talk about liberals, it's like, dude, we're getting
00:20:10.920
ready to go to civil war, right? That's fucking war. But dude, do you, I don't see that in society.
00:20:17.960
Like here I am talking to a, uh, liberal black female. I'm a, what people consider probably
00:20:25.940
conservative, even though I'm only conservative fiscally. Right. And we're like, yeah, this is
00:20:31.940
fucking stupid. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's just, everybody's getting along.
00:20:37.120
It's just like, dude, the fucking shit that we're getting shoved down our throat, we're
00:20:42.640
starting to choke on it. Right. You know? And, and it is starting to affect the dynamics.
00:20:48.020
Like you're right that people are getting along, but we're also, there's enough of a, of a success
00:20:53.240
that the media is having and the politicians are having where they're stirring the pot enough
00:20:57.880
to, to now where, when, when we do meet people in, in real life, you know, who might be different
00:21:04.080
from us, uh, politically, morally or whatever, we're just kind of assuming that that person
00:21:08.900
hates us. And what do you do when you assume somebody hates you, you get defensive and then
00:21:13.500
they think, oh man, that guy's getting defensive. He must hate me. And then it's, it, so I do
00:21:18.280
think it is a, you're right that I think the vast majority of people in our nation are pretty
00:21:23.360
level headed, but I do think that there's a danger that there's so much of the fringe is
00:21:27.660
being stirred up that it's beginning to affect everybody. You know what I'm saying?
00:21:30.880
And you know what? There's only a hand, there's only a fucking few hundred politicians in the
00:21:35.560
country. Right. And they're the ones benefiting from it, from the 300 million people getting
00:21:40.040
pissed off. Right. You know what I mean? That's a very dangerous game for them to be playing
00:21:44.120
because what are 300 people going to do when 300 million get fucking pissed and sick of it?
00:21:50.180
You know what I'm saying? Right. Like, dude, I'm, I don't know, man. Like I would just
00:21:55.660
appreciate, I would just appreciate some people making an effort to just be good fucking people.
00:22:09.780
Well, talk about that a little bit because, I mean, we talked about how crazy the culture
00:22:13.840
is. We've talked about how the, the movers and shakers in culture actually benefit from
00:22:18.000
us being in conflict with one another. But, so give your prescription for actually
00:22:23.720
little things to do to kind of improve the situation.
00:22:28.060
I don't fucking know. You know, and that's the problem. Like, all problems,
00:22:36.500
all the big problems start with little bitty actions. And they all are solved by little bitty
00:22:41.640
actions. You know, being polite, holding the door for people, shaking someone's hand,
00:22:47.520
making people feel comfortable in a situation where they otherwise wouldn't, you know, basic
00:22:52.680
common human courtesy. And it's just like, and I think that should extend onto fucking social,
00:23:00.520
man. Like, dude, what do we have on social? We got to do, we got fucking do. We got high
00:23:06.680
school kids sending each other naked pictures of themselves. You get what I'm saying?
00:23:11.800
Yeah, dude. I know. I get it. That's not okay. I have kids. I've I'm like, there's a part
00:23:17.120
of me that's scared, like super scared, dude. I would be, you know, I would be, yeah, I would
00:23:22.140
be. And like, I, I just don't, I just don't see how it's going to fucking flip around.
00:23:33.420
You know what I mean? And what's fucked up, dude, is we have a situation where a couple
00:23:37.360
dudes who own these social media platforms are profiting, they're profit profiting off
00:23:43.240
of, off of society going on the toilet, you know? And then you got centricism on social
00:23:48.480
and all this other shit. Like, it's just hard, man. It's just hard. It's hard to fucking
00:23:56.180
see how this is going to play out because, you know, and what's all this shit for, you
00:24:05.720
know? Like, for example, how many people get killed texting and driving a year? A lot,
00:24:14.580
right? Yeah. A lot. Yeah. How hard would it be for the fucking cell phone companies to
00:24:18.840
fucking put a device on their cell phone that once it was moving faster than five miles
00:24:23.520
an hour, it fucking didn't allow any data to go through at all. Right. And no signal.
00:24:27.840
It just didn't work. Right. How hard would that be for them to do? That's a good question.
00:24:31.780
Well, it wouldn't be very hard, but why don't they do it? Because people will get off their
00:24:36.220
phones. And, and guess what, what they don't do when they're off their phones, they don't
00:24:39.240
use up their fucking data and they don't spend money. It costs, so they, it's, it's all about
00:24:42.900
money, dude. And that's not okay. No, it's not fucking okay. You know? And like, dude,
00:24:50.020
today's just one of those days where I'm like the whole entire world is fucking, like I'm
00:24:54.340
seeing all the issues with the world and they're all hitting me in the face at once.
00:24:57.660
No, I, I, I hear you, but going back to the whole, um, the, the reaction to, uh, to shootings,
00:25:05.940
like if your first reaction to something like that isn't, oh my God, 11 human beings lost
00:25:16.180
their lives. If your, if your first response is, we're desensitized to it, man. No, it's,
00:25:22.000
it's crazy. If you're, if your first response is not 11 human beings lost their lives, your,
00:25:27.980
your, your identity politically has eclipsed your identity as a human being. You know, it's
00:25:34.760
crazy. Dude, it's, it's desensitization, you know, like we're, we're, we're desensitization.
00:25:41.180
Desensitization. I can't say the fucking word. You know what the fuck I'm saying. We get
00:25:43.640
it. Yeah. But no, I think you're, I think you're articulating, dude, you're expressing
00:25:52.900
the frustration and the anger. I like guns. No, I get it. I like guns. I'm a pro gun
00:25:57.300
person. Obviously like I have a fucking shitload of guns, you know? Uh, would I ever get so
00:26:03.760
pissed off that I go shoot fucking 20 fucking people? No. You know why? Cause I'm not culturally
00:26:07.760
fucked in the head. I would address my problem with that one person or that two
00:26:12.280
person and then five persons and better. Yeah. You know what I would do? I would go
00:26:15.640
out and become something and rub it in their fucking face. And then you have all these do
00:26:19.480
gooders on the fucking internet, you know, saying, Oh, don't, don't do it for the people
00:26:24.120
that those three people that want to see you that, that picked on you've 10, 10 years
00:26:27.720
ago. You know what, motherfucker? Sometimes that's all you got. So fuck you. And you know
00:26:32.640
what? That's coming from people who have never built a real fucking company and who
00:26:37.140
are only trying to become famous. They're only on the internet and they're only putting
00:26:42.680
out this garbage fucking information so that they can get likes. It's pandering. You know
00:26:49.440
what I'm saying? What happened to people that said what needed to be said versus saying what's
00:26:54.540
going to make you popular? You know what I mean? Absolutely get what you mean. Yeah.
00:27:01.300
I get it, man. I, uh, Oh man, this is it. This is a dude. We got fucking success coaches
00:27:07.420
online, right? Right. They're saying shit like posting memes. I see this meme all the
00:27:11.420
time. Fuck. It drives me crazy. Happiness is the new rich. Well, let me explain to you
00:27:17.600
the fucking, what is that? What is that really saying? What is that telling people? I don't,
00:27:22.020
you don't have to go out and make anything for yourself. No, that's not what it's saying.
00:27:25.500
It's saying it. What it's really saying is to somebody who has no money, it's saying you
00:27:31.240
could choose to be happy or you could choose to be rich. False choice. It's a fucking false
00:27:35.740
choice. There's, there's plenty of motherfuckers out there to have a fuckload of money that are
00:27:41.260
really fucking happy. They're so fucking happy. They got money flying out their fucking asshole.
00:27:46.420
Tons of them. You got a lot of motherfuckers that don't have any money that are miserable as
00:27:52.480
fuck. And if you ask me, I will bet you that if you, if you pulled the fucking, all the miserable
00:28:01.140
people out there and you ask them what the fuck they wish they had, they're going to say fucking
00:28:05.220
more money. And while money might not cause them to be happy, it will make their day to day life
00:28:12.000
easier so they can focus on what's going to make them happy longer and more fulfilled longer. But,
00:28:17.400
but, but what do we have? We got these do good, feel good motherfuckers online trying to tell
00:28:22.160
people, Oh, you could be happy or you could be rich. You know what I'm saying? Like, dude,
00:28:26.300
it's just shit like that. Like I'm so fucking sick of it. Um, I don't know, man. You know,
00:28:33.740
I have a whole list of fucking memes I wanted to go through, but maybe we'll just go through that
00:28:39.660
next week. Yeah. No, I mean, I don't even feel like necessarily we need to quote unquote provide
00:28:45.300
answers because I think your, your expression of your frustration and your expression. I just think
00:28:50.000
people need to do better. Yeah. Like you motherfuckers listening right now, you're,
00:28:54.060
you're feeling like I'm feeling. And if you're shaking your head, you might be saying, fuck you
00:28:58.480
Andy. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. And if that's you, that's fine. But if
00:29:02.480
you're feeling the shit that I'm feeling, how do we fix it? We got to fix it together. We've got to
00:29:08.060
fucking be better people. We can't buy into the media's bullshit. We can't, you know, because they
00:29:16.000
post, uh, uh, a black man shooting a white man or a white man shooting a black man. We
00:29:22.400
don't have to pick sides. It's just fucking wrong. It's wrong either way. You know what
00:29:28.660
I'm saying? Like, dude, and that's just one of the issues. There's tons of them. It's
00:29:34.120
I'm just, dude, I just think we need to be better, you know, and we need to shift from looking,
00:29:43.220
uh, for validation from people that we don't know and we don't fucking care about really
00:29:50.280
to actually telling people useful shit, sharing experiences, sharing positivity, you know, Gary,
00:29:58.620
Gary Vaynerchuk, good buddy of mine. All right. And, and the reason we're good buddies, by the
00:30:03.640
way, is we don't fucking agree on everything. Everybody else sucks his fucking nuts. And you
00:30:07.920
know what? When Gary says some shit that I don't like, you know what I do? I text him and
00:30:11.680
I say, Hey, here's what's wrong with that statement. And then we talk about it. And you
00:30:15.900
know what? He does the same shit to me. We're that's why we're fucking respect each other.
00:30:20.520
But one thing he says that I totally agree with is, is dude, you, we need to make positivity
00:30:28.460
louder. I like that saying he, that's the truth because what do we see online? We see a lot of
00:30:37.340
self-serving false positive shit, right? Like dude, these fucking chicks who take a picture
00:30:43.820
of their fucking ass and then tell us fucking four paragraph story about how they're fucking,
00:30:48.720
uh, got picked on. I don't fucking, you know, like, it's just like, bitch, how about you just
00:30:54.760
post your fucking ass and say, Hey, my ass looking good today. You know what I'm saying? We would
00:30:58.100
appreciate that a lot more. I'm just being honest. Like dude, I would, you know, it's like, dude,
00:31:04.740
just be authentic, man. Like just fucking, Hey, I'm fucking six packs looking good today.
00:31:09.980
Motherfuckers. What do you think? You know, like dude, like this, if you're going to brag,
00:31:15.540
brag, you don't got to hide it. I don't know, man. That's just me though. Like I ain't scared.
00:31:19.740
I ain't scared to brag if I got to brag. I hear you. I hear you. I don't know how this ties
00:31:25.840
in, but I'll throw this out there and you can tell me what you think. I don't know if any of
00:31:28.260
this ties together. I just feel like I'm ranting because I'm frustrated. Actually, no, I actually
00:31:32.180
think this is, I think you're expressing people's frustration. I think people are going to resonate
00:31:36.100
with this. Yeah, this is my frustration. But, um, I'll say this. So we recently had the, uh,
00:31:41.580
those four winners in town, the iTunes winners. Yeah. By the way, they were awesome. They were
00:31:46.560
awesome. Yeah. Very, very good people. And, um, they weren't weird either. No, they weren't
00:31:51.640
weird. Like, you know how sometimes you meet people and they're fucking weird. Sometimes
00:31:54.580
they're weird. Yeah. Yeah. It's cause we allow Vaughn to pick them. Right. I mean, dude,
00:32:00.620
let's be real. Some of you motherfuckers listening right now are weird motherfuckers. Let's be
00:32:04.540
fucking real. We're all weird in our own way, but some of you guys are a little, little real
00:32:08.660
weird. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, they were telling me that, you know, we put them up in the four
00:32:13.560
seasons. There's a nice restaurant there. And, uh, and basically they, you know, they, they
00:32:20.660
had a nice, you know, a nice meal there. And I think it was something like three, three 47
00:32:24.620
was the total. One of the girls told me that that was the first time she'd ever have room
00:32:28.600
service ever. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. And I was like, that's awesome. I thought that
00:32:32.600
was really cool. Yeah. Very cool. So they were telling, uh, they were telling me that
00:32:36.460
they had, they had, uh, this great meal and they were so grateful that it was paid
00:32:41.440
for. You know what, dude? Are you going to, are you going to, are you going to steal my
00:32:44.740
punchline? No, I was going to say they were very grateful. Yeah. They were extremely, very
00:32:48.020
grateful. So I thought this was awesome. They were the $347. Right. Um, and they were
00:32:54.800
so grateful that, that, uh, you, you know, you paid for that for them, that you, that
00:32:59.180
you, uh, provided that kind of hospitality. They decided amongst themselves to give a hundred
00:33:05.740
percent tip to the waiter. So they split up the cost of the meal. Basically they, they
00:33:11.200
didn't add it onto our credit card. They, they just, they paid it. Right. So they gave it
00:33:15.780
to them. And, uh, and that was just something that they wanted to do to, to add a gratitude
00:33:20.460
to show, you know, to show their, their appreciation for the waiter. And I, apparently he was just
00:33:24.700
like, oh, I'm sure that shit don't happen in St. Louis. Right. It doesn't happen too
00:33:29.020
much in St. Louis, but it reminded me that when I was a pastor, we had this thing that
00:33:32.200
we used to call random acts of grace, which we would do something similar is that we would,
00:33:35.720
you know, we'd like go into a, you know, uh, international house of pancakes. We'd all
00:33:39.720
order a bunch of food. Um, actually take that back. We would order nothing. We would just
00:33:44.080
order water and the waitress would come out like, well, what are you doing here? You
00:33:47.820
know, and we'd, she'd serve us. And then at the end we'd say, well, you haven't really
00:33:51.100
done anything, you know, per se, but we just want to give you a huge tip and we'd give it
00:33:55.120
to them. And in some cases they'd like break down crying cause it was so impactful to them
00:33:59.060
and everything. But, but the word gratuity, you know, where we get tip, it's actually from
00:34:03.960
the word grace, which is, which is actually a spiritual concept. It's actually giving somebody
00:34:08.960
something that they don't deserve. It's, it's like being generous in a way that just
00:34:13.820
goes beyond above and beyond, uh, like what's called for what's normal. It's almost supernatural
00:34:21.040
on its level of, uh, of kindness. And, you know, as you're talking about, you're talking
00:34:25.200
about like, you know, what's the answer? What's the answer? I don't know, man. For me, I feel
00:34:29.840
like God has been so good to me beyond anything that I deserve. He is gracious. And I feel like
00:34:34.840
if we can just all do everything we can to promote that, that sense of abundant kindness,
00:34:40.960
that's not deserved. Cause it's easy. It's easy to actually be nice to people who are
00:34:46.140
nice back to you. But when people are actually unkind to you, uh, difficult, mean, um, I think
00:34:55.600
the best way to answer that is to respond with grace is to respond with gratuity, you know,
00:35:00.440
something people don't deserve. Yeah. And it's hard. It's hard to do that. It is hard. I almost
00:35:04.500
feel like it takes supernatural power to be able to do that. Well, I think it's a skill like
00:35:07.900
anything else. I think what the, at the core of all of this that we're seeing and what
00:35:14.840
we're talking about here is two things. I think one, we, we, our attention, our, our want
00:35:24.900
as a society for attention has become so heightened that it's causing people to literally sell their
00:35:31.580
fucking souls, sell their morality, uh, do anything to fucking be recognized. Cause if
00:35:40.600
you're not recognized, you ain't shit right now, you know? And two, I think that because
00:35:49.320
we're so used to expressing opinions and arguing and fighting with one another, that we have this
00:35:59.060
need, this heightened need to be right. And I think those two things are at the core of the
00:36:06.440
issues that we're talking about, you know, and people might be saying, well, how is,
00:36:10.060
how is shooting up a school have to do with those two things? Well, I could explain it to you real
00:36:16.780
easy. You're irrelevant. You kill fucking 12 people. You're all over the fucking world news.
00:36:22.800
Okay. All right. So that's the recognition. Well, he's dead. So how's he right? Well,
00:36:28.380
that's, I don't know that people in that state really care about that. Um, two, that's how
00:36:33.360
insane it is. They want to be famous even if they're not around to enjoy it. Well, I mean,
00:36:37.480
dude, you've, I've, you've heard people say that like fuck you fucking talk, talk to, go
00:36:41.560
to any art fair art show and all the artists will tell you the same shit. Well, I'm hoping
00:36:46.040
that once I pass away, my shit becomes more valuable. So like people think like that, right?
00:36:50.340
Like they're so, they're so enamored with like fame that they will literally fucking die to have
00:36:58.320
it or recognition, die to have it good or bad, you know? And then the will to be right. How about
00:37:04.060
this? I fucking told you so. I told you so you shouldn't have fucked with me. You shouldn't
00:37:08.880
have picked on me. You shouldn't have done this. Shouldn't have sent me to detention. Now I shot the
00:37:13.740
school up, you know, dude, it's fucked up. And like, and, and, and really in my opinion,
00:37:20.820
where this all comes from is the softening of the parenting strategies that we've had,
00:37:25.300
which is the whole reason we have this fucking show. The whole reason we have this fucking show
00:37:30.480
is so people can correct the path that they've been taught was the right path when it comes to
00:37:41.860
success in business. But the truth is success in business is very parallel to success in life.
00:37:47.800
You just apply the same principles in different areas, your fitness, your family, your relationship,
00:37:53.540
your friends, all those things, the principles of success are universal, you know, and that goes for
00:37:59.820
life. So. Dude, I just had a funny thought and that would be, uh, it might be a long shot, but
00:38:07.260
you know, you were talking earlier about people who teach entrepreneurship. Well, how funny would
00:38:11.340
it be if a school adopted this as an hour class? Cause we have enough episodes now to last an entire
00:38:17.480
school year. And on each episode you get graded. Like they, you just sit in, you sit in class and
00:38:22.080
you listen to a podcast next day you get graded on it. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think they would go for
00:38:27.480
that. We're not there yet. No, I'm just saying it would be a hell of a concept for a progressive
00:38:32.740
school. We're not there yet. It would be, but you're, you're right about the parenting. A buddy
00:38:37.440
of mine was telling me that, um, he was in parent teacher conferences with his wife and the teacher
00:38:44.100
who is a really good teacher just said, you know, I really, I don't relish the idea of telling you this,
00:38:52.260
but the reality, and then by the way, this is a seventh grade, seventh grade class. She's the
00:38:57.480
teacher said, I don't really enjoy telling you this, but your son cries about too much. And the
00:39:03.000
reality is, is that I'm actually concerned about him because now he's in a smaller grade, but in two
00:39:08.100
years when he's in the larger high school, those people are going to eat him up. And my buddy was
00:39:13.020
telling me that he was really, he was really conflicted because he totally agreed with the teacher
00:39:17.120
and his wife was like, really want like super angry that the teacher had said this and was like,
00:39:23.400
he needs to be in touch with his feelings and all this kind of stuff. And it just made me sad because
00:39:28.320
the reality is, is that what the teacher said was right. And if the kid would, would understand that,
00:39:33.140
you know, emotions are fine, but you have to, you have to learn to stand up and you have to learn to
00:39:38.140
be a man. And if he doesn't learn that, then in the next four years, he's going to get, you know,
00:39:43.480
the bullied and he's going to, he's going to, you know, continue to go to the people who are going
00:39:47.360
to coddle him. And he's never going to feel secure in who he is because he's never faced it. He's
00:39:54.700
never had to deal with it himself. And he's had people helicoptering around him his whole, you know,
00:39:59.280
his whole life. And then that's what's going to happen. I'm not saying this kid in particular is
00:40:02.680
going to do this, but kids like that who are sort of protected and, and insulated and coddled,
00:40:09.880
it doesn't work. And so over time they just go insane and they, and to, to, to hit back,
00:40:17.440
they do this kind of stuff. Right. You know what I'm saying? Does that sound goofy to you? No.
00:40:21.880
It's the same thing when parents try to protect their kids from getting sick. Like you're not
00:40:26.500
letting the immune system build up. Dude, I was playing, I was in the fucking yard making mud pies
00:40:31.620
in our fucking septic system. Probably eating it too. Yeah. Like, dude, we had a septic tank and that's
00:40:36.780
where the good mud was. I didn't know that was shit until I was like fucking 10 years old.
00:40:41.080
I'm down there making mud pies, me and salad and I'm throwing them on each other. Like,
00:40:45.000
dude, we fucking lived, you know, like these motherfuckers, they don't even do Perry. Most
00:40:50.160
of the fucking parents in the world right now are pussies. That's the truth. That's the truth.
00:40:54.520
Yep. Oh, your kid fucking got five goals scored against him when he plays goalie.
00:41:00.960
It's the other kid's fault. No, it's your fault. Cause you didn't go in the yard and teach
00:41:04.560
how to play fucking goalie. That's the problem. Really dude, if we're talking about the core of
00:41:09.260
the problem, that's the fucking problem. A bunch of lazy motherfucking pussified parents that put
00:41:15.960
their kids on fucking Nintendo and Xbox and shit instead of raising them like our fucking parents
00:41:21.100
did. You guys should be fucking ashamed of yourselves. That's the fucking truth. And you
00:41:25.920
want to send me a message and say, Oh, I don't parent like that. Prove it, prove it. Throw your
00:41:32.840
fucking Xbox out the window, throw your PlayStation out the window, fucking take a kid in the yard
00:41:38.360
and show them how to fucking defend himself. Show them how to fucking catch a ball and throw
00:41:43.940
a ball. Basic shit. These kids nowadays, and I know because I have a fuckload of them that
00:41:50.340
work here. They come, they don't even know how to shake a fucking hand. They don't even
00:41:55.140
know how to say, Hey, nice to meet you. And shake a firm hand. They don't even know that
00:41:59.580
shit. And it's not their fault. No, it's not their fault. That's why we, that's why
00:42:02.520
the first thing we teach here is that. Yep. Okay. The first thing we do when people come
00:42:08.180
in here as new hires is we teach them basic skills. All right. I'm not, I'm not mad at
00:42:14.460
them for not knowing that shit, but their fucking parents are fucking shit balls. If your kid
00:42:19.860
doesn't know how to shake a hand and say, nice to meet you or fucking, you know, manage
00:42:24.300
his bank account with 500 bucks in it. So he doesn't go buy $400 pair of fucking Jordans.
00:42:29.240
You're failing as a fucking parent. Oh, that's easy for you to say. Cause you don't have fucking
00:42:33.840
kids. Let me tell you something, motherfucker. The reason I don't have kids. Cause I don't
00:42:37.880
want my kids hanging around your motherfucking kids. And that's a fucking fact. So you can
00:42:43.920
fucking say whatever you want and you could say, judge me. But the truth is, is I don't
00:42:49.000
want my fucking blood and DNA and dealing with your fucking shit ball kids. And then
00:42:55.180
me having to correct it all the time. So fuck you. You want to stop there? I'd keep
00:43:04.060
going. I'd keep going. What else we want to fucking yell about? If there was an app to
00:43:09.440
raise your kid, I guarantee like if there was some way to like plug your kid into that
00:43:12.880
app, like they would, most parents would be all about it. And let's be fucking real here
00:43:16.440
too. If you're a fucking parent right now and you're offended by what I said, the only
00:43:21.020
reason you're offended is cause you know, there's fucking truth to it. And if you're
00:43:24.100
going to judge me, I'm the motherfucker with bestselling children's books that's trying to
00:43:27.760
make an impact and fix your fucking problems, motherfucker. So you could fucking suck on my
00:43:32.100
fucking nuts. See you later. Oh wait, don't stop yet. I got one more thing. Let me ask
00:43:44.220
you Vaughn the pastor. Yeah. What's the most despicable thing on the fucking face of the
00:43:49.980
earth? Cause this is something I left off of my list. Oh, before you answer, I'll just
00:43:54.220
answer for you. Okay. It's in, this is why you're going to fucking resonate with this.
00:43:58.480
I want to hear your take. Okay. So don't suck on my nuts just yet. Okay. All right. How
00:44:06.440
about motherfuckers that profiteer in the name of God? They try to act holier than thou. And
00:44:12.840
so fucking this and that, but everything they do is a fucking lie. Everything they do is
00:44:17.240
bullshit. What do you think about those people? Cause I'm seeing a little rise of that. I'm
00:44:22.640
seeing people, you know, Oh, you know what? Praise the Lord and blah, blah, blah in public,
00:44:27.900
but everything they do in private is fucking fake. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like
00:44:32.240
every, every, you know, it's all a fucking, it's all a fucking show. What's your take on
00:44:39.080
that shit? My take on it is that, um, this isn't very, this isn't very PC to say these days, but
00:44:45.140
people forget, um, you know, God is good, but there is judgment. Like these people, these people
00:44:52.580
are going to have to stand account one day. They're going to stand, they're going to fucking
00:44:55.620
trying to profit in God's name and then turning around and doing, you know, you're just doing it so
00:45:00.840
you could get paid or be popular or become famous when everything else you do is fucking
00:45:05.700
hocus pocus and you're just fucking people. You're going to go to hell if there is one.
00:45:12.420
Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. If you believe in that shit. Yeah. No, I, I mean, I don't
00:45:17.540
know what to say. I'm willing to risk it. Yeah. I will tell you this. I think that, um, eternity
00:45:23.140
getting a fucking trident stumped up your ass don't sound no fun to me. Right. To you, baby.
00:45:27.700
A fucking hot one. Yeah. I know it sounds good to you, you motherfucker. Well, I will tell you this.
00:45:31.360
That's what you do on a fucking Saturday night. That's a typical Tuesday. Listen, I will say
00:45:36.280
this. Um, to your point, it's interesting how the con man ministers have a lot in common
00:45:44.300
with the con man entrepreneurs. They say exactly the same. They, they are. They say what people
00:45:49.880
want to hear and they don't say the truth. And, and the reality is, is that. Dude, it's
00:45:57.260
fucking, it's a, it's a hocus pocus. It's like, it's distraction. It's like David Blaine.
00:46:01.600
Hey, look over here at my left hand and my right hand's going in your pocket. You know
00:46:05.380
what I'm saying? Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at these cards over here in my left hand
00:46:08.200
and I could do this cool trick. And in my right hand, it goes right in your pocket and takes
00:46:12.120
the money out. Like, right. That's what those motherfuckers do. Right. You guys got to be
00:46:15.400
smarter than that. You know, anybody who's talking about Jesus and God and they're also asking
00:46:20.440
for your money in some way or form, I would highly fucking scrutinize them because. Oh,
00:46:27.120
absolutely. Because those two things do not go together. Yeah. Now I don't think it's wrong
00:46:32.360
to ask for an offering to support the church, but there's a way to do it. No, I know what
00:46:35.740
you're talking about. We're talking about the same thing. So I won't, but, but no, I mean,
00:46:38.940
I, I, uh, listen, dude, I'm talking about dudes whose business strategy is to be holy. Yeah,
00:46:44.400
I get it. I get it. And listen, at the end of the day, life is hard.
00:46:50.440
And. People are broken and we're messed up and we need help. And the people that, the
00:47:00.120
people that profit, whether it's spiritually or, you know, entrepreneurship, they're out
00:47:05.680
there saying everything's okay. Life is rainbows and unicorns and everything's okay with you
00:47:11.280
and you never have to. Happiness is the new rich. Right. Happiness is the new rich. And,
00:47:16.240
and the reality is, is that, I don't know, dude. I mean, this is a whole nother conversation,
00:47:21.420
but, you know, with regard to your, your, your frustration, I mean, I agree. The culture
00:47:27.520
is the problem, but I think culture is made up of people. And I think that the problem.
00:47:31.660
Yeah, but all of us here, you, me and everybody listening, we're part of that problem.
00:47:35.320
Right. That's what I'm saying. That's the problem. Like, I don't, I mean, people sometimes
00:47:38.560
ask me like, you know, what's your favorite? So it's going to take some self-examination
00:47:41.360
for all of us that includes me and you and everybody listening to be fucking better.
00:47:47.740
Right. And to say, I'm part of the problem. Like I'm part of the problem. And, uh, yeah,
00:47:54.160
I mean, dude, I mean, it's, it's amazing to me. Sometimes people come to me and they,
00:48:00.980
or that, you know, cause you're, you're real nice about talking about me being a former
00:48:04.000
pastor and everything. And, and people will, people will DM me questions and I love their
00:48:09.060
questions, but they're, you know, sometimes I know you like that because like, I do,
00:48:12.940
I do like to stay connected to that. I do. And I, I love it. But, but, but the reality
00:48:17.220
is, is that, dude, no, the, you know, the Bible says all have sinned and fallen short
00:48:23.300
of the glory of God. Dude, I know that I have fallen short. I absolutely know that I have
00:48:28.120
fallen short. And that's the starting point. That's the starting point of knowing that,
00:48:31.860
you know, you're not all that in a bag of chips as we used to say in the nineties, you
00:48:34.680
know? So, um, but, uh, man, my closet ain't fucking clean. I can tell you that shit.
00:48:41.460
Right. And yours ain't either. No, it's yours. And neither is yours listening.
00:48:44.920
Right. Absolutely. So I don't know, maybe that's the first step. You know, you, you, you gave
00:48:49.020
a, a Sunday sermon on this a couple of months ago, which was, you know, when GK Chesterton
00:48:54.660
was asked, you know, what's the problem with the world? And he, yeah, he said, I am. So guys,
00:49:00.260
think about that. I think that's, I think that's a good message. You know, it's something we've
00:49:05.800
already covered, but it's another one that we should be thinking about. It's like, dude,
00:49:09.360
what can we do in our day to day life to fix this shit? What can we do? You know what I
00:49:16.400
mean? Like there's, cause that's how it's going to start. And, and, and eventually, I mean,
00:49:22.900
dude, there's millions of people listening to this podcast, millions and millions were, you
00:49:26.620
know, that's a powerful group. And if millions and millions of people start to set the example
00:49:32.560
for being better, other people are going to follow. Other people are going to jump in.
00:49:38.660
Other people are going to see it as the cool thing to do. And that's how change happens.
00:49:45.400
And when those things start to happen and that, that momentum starts to gather and it doesn't
00:49:51.760
take that long. It doesn't take a generation. It could take, you know, fuck dude, we've seen
00:49:55.700
the stuff we're talking about over the last, not that long of time.
00:50:01.120
It doesn't matter what the media says. Then it doesn't matter what social media does. It doesn't
00:50:05.580
matter what the people who have the power do to try to control our thoughts, because we're going to
00:50:12.820
know how we live and other people are going to see it and be living the same way. And eventually it's,
00:50:17.640
what's going to happen is they're going to say shit. And this is already starting to happen.
00:50:21.780
And I think a little bit, they're going to say shit. Like, uh, per my example with my
00:50:26.180
friend that people are going to say shit on the news and we're going to look at each other
00:50:30.000
and be like, what the fuck are they talking about? You know, like, what are they talking
00:50:34.140
about? Like, we're all cool. Why? You guys are the ones fighting, you know? And I don't
00:50:41.280
know, man, that takes some open-mindedness. It takes the awareness to step back and say, Hey,
00:50:46.640
you know what? It's not them. It's us. Right. You know? And I think that's the key, right?
00:50:52.460
It's not them. It's us. And that's where it starts. So I think that's a, that's a good
00:50:59.400
thing to think about for, for Sunday. And you don't really have to suck on my nuts.
00:51:05.960
Amen. I got some peanut butter for you there, but I want a chunky. Yeah, I know. You nasty
00:51:14.780
motherfucker. All right, guys. Unconventional, uh, Sunday sermon, but we love you guys. Thank
00:51:20.980
you for the reviews. Thank you for the, uh, the shares. Uh, thanks for being the kind
00:51:26.600
of people that actually listen to what we talk about, because I do feel like there is
00:51:31.400
not another podcast or a person out there putting out the information that we are. Everybody
00:51:37.780
else is doing the shit that we're talking about. It's for fame. I don't, you know what,
00:51:42.420
dude, or money. You know what? I don't need your money and I don't give a fuck about being famous.
00:51:46.800
So I'm just trying to contribute. I mean, the biggest problem is the people that need to hear
00:51:52.100
this message are not the ones that are listening to the podcast. No, but that's right. And that's
00:51:56.160
why we need to spread it. Exactly. Yeah. I got one more word to say. Yeah. You close it up,
00:52:01.540
man. It is Sunday sermon. Listen guys, there's a phrase that goes around all the time in the
00:52:07.620
success and motivation industry. And the reality is, if I'm honest, there are people that Andy and I
00:52:11.780
both like that say this. And I don't know about Andy, but I hate this and I will never say it
00:52:18.460
in my entire life. And it's a stupid saying, I am enough. You know what? I'm not enough.
00:52:28.080
I know that. I fall short. I'm broken. I'm screwed up. I'm not enough. So I don't know why people say
00:52:35.660
that. I don't want to know why people are so obsessed about telling them that themselves that,
00:52:42.340
because I can tell you right now, the better thing is just to say, I'm not enough, but you know what?
00:52:48.480
That's okay. Bible says his grace is sufficient for you for his power is made perfect in weakness.
00:52:55.540
I'm not enough, but God is period. Dude, don't you think that the real saying should be,
00:53:00.980
I know I'm not enough. So I'm going to work to try to be, you know what I'm saying?
00:53:05.440
It's just like, I hear, am I the only one that's super annoyed by that?
00:53:08.240
Bro? No, it goes along with the fucking, the lack of accountability in today's society. It says,
00:53:13.460
dude, you got 400 motherfucking pound people saying, you know what? I'm beautiful. Yeah. But
00:53:19.240
you're going to fucking die in two years. You know what I'm saying? And like, then you got fucking,
00:53:24.420
uh, you got fucking these people saying the shit that you're saying, I am enough. You're dude.
00:53:32.340
That's like saying, you know what? I know I'm fucked up. I'm not gonna do anything about it.
00:53:36.440
Right. And that's fucked up. You know what I'm saying? Hey, you know what, baby? You know what?
00:53:44.460
I fucking fuck all kinds of chicks and you know what? I'm gonna keep doing it. Cause I'm enough.
00:53:48.680
Right. You know, how's that going to go over at home? Not too well. Yeah. Not too well. Hey,
00:53:54.320
you know what? Uh, I know I fucking only paid you half your paycheck, Tyler, for the last six months
00:54:00.640
in a row, but I am enough, but you know what? I'm enough. So that's okay. So fuck you. Like,
00:54:04.800
that's what it's like. It's like this ability to say like, you know, it's, it's just trying to dodge
00:54:12.780
accountability and that's what everything's about now. You know? And that's why I respect people like
00:54:18.360
Jocko, you know what I'm saying? Like who's out there putting out a message. You know, people ask
00:54:22.160
me all the time, like, who, who do I respect? Dude, there's like two motherfuckers I respect.
00:54:27.500
You know what I mean? Right. Ed and fucking Jocko. Yeah. You know? And then Gary, you know,
00:54:31.800
cause Gary's a personal friend, but like, um, those guys are actually doing good. You know,
00:54:39.020
they're doing good shit. I agree. You know? And like, Gary gets a lot of heat too. And they're
00:54:44.400
like, well, Gary's shit is so fucking basic and it's so this and that. But the truth is,
00:54:49.400
is the reason you're listening and you're doing personal development and you're, you're getting
00:54:54.180
into other things and you're learning more is because you first saw one of his videos.
00:54:58.620
You see what I'm saying? He's like the intro. Right. And I'm going to tell you right now,
00:55:02.060
he's the gateway drug. Oh, look, listen, I'm going to tell you right now, Gary is one of the
00:55:05.080
smartest fucking business guys on the face of the earth. No question. But he understands
00:55:10.500
who he's speaking to. And so his content is geared mainly towards people who don't really
00:55:17.780
understand entrepreneurship. And it's like an intro, you know what I'm saying? Yep. And so
00:55:23.000
he's serving an amazing purpose for the entrepreneurship world by providing the content
00:55:28.280
that he does, even though once you kind of get past it, you're like, fuck yeah, I know that. I heard
00:55:32.880
it. Or, you know, you know what I'm saying? Like, cause I hear that a lot. People like,
00:55:36.680
yeah, his shit's so basic. Yeah. But at one time it wasn't to you. You know what I mean?
00:55:41.840
So don't judge on that shit. Absolutely. So are you, are you going to ever, ever tell people
00:55:46.980
about our plan to have a special once a month? Reachism? What's that? Me and Tyler?
00:55:51.580
Bring the peanut butter. That's right. And this is definitely, this is definitely the most,
00:55:56.740
this is definitely the most unusual Sunday sermon ever. I think we almost stopped. We're
00:56:01.740
going to have a sword fight. I think we almost, I think we almost finished up like four times.
00:56:07.300
Right, man. No, but you know what I'm talking about. Well, I do. I think Tyler might know
00:56:11.540
what you're talking about. The monthly idea for the special kind of podcast. Oh yeah,
00:56:15.060
we should do that. The drunken podcast. Well, I'm going to call mine the led by the Holy
00:56:19.240
Spirit podcast. Really? Yeah. So the idea is that once a month we do a podcast, like we
00:56:26.400
come in on like a, on a Friday night or something and fucking drink. Right. And after like two
00:56:31.220
hours of drinking, we do the podcast. So it'd be like more like at the tipsy podcast. Yeah.
00:56:34.580
We came up with this completely sober too. Like no lie. Dude, it would be awesome. We did.
00:56:38.880
It would be funny. What was our name? So if you want to do it. No, no, no, no, no, no,
00:56:42.020
don't say that one. We got another one coming up here. Yeah. Pretty good. Pretty good idea. But,
00:56:47.140
dude, I got some good, uh, some, I got some guests coming in next week. Uh, nice. Yeah. Uh,
00:56:53.420
some good ones. I'll tell you about it after the show. You know what I love about this?
00:57:00.620
Fucking Nelly, dude. He flaked out on us. Everybody's like, where's Nelly? Why didn't
00:57:03.440
you come on the show? Well, he fucking got drunk one night and fucking couldn't come.
00:57:07.540
That's a true story. It is a true story. Now he did offer, he's going to come back,
00:57:10.860
but I'd be like, he had his fucking dude. He called his dude, Mike, who's a friend of mine.
00:57:15.400
And he's like, yeah, dude, I went out. I didn't get home until real late. I was hung
00:57:19.520
over. Can we do it another time? Can we have Holly Saunders on the show? Who? Do you know
00:57:24.280
who Holly Saunders is? No. She's like, uh, one of the college football game day hosts.
00:57:31.060
Oh, come on, man. Come on. She's really good. Dude, come on. You're going to get me all kinds
00:57:37.120
of fucking hate mail about this shit. We were just talking about this yesterday. No, no,
00:57:40.920
no. You'll like Holly Saunders. Trust me. No. What? Is she hot? Oh, well, I, yeah,
00:57:46.860
I think so. I hadn't noticed. I'm going to cut that clip and send it to your wife. Motherfucker.
00:57:53.540
She looks like, I'm, I forget it. I'm not going in. Look at Vaughn talking himself into a corner.
00:58:00.160
Yeah, I am talking myself into a corner. Hey, you know what? You can still be completely faithful
00:58:04.920
to your wife and recognize the beauty of a woman or man. Well, if you're talking about Tyler,
00:58:10.780
yeah. Drew that. Hey man, I can look at another dude. That's true. I can look at another dude and
00:58:15.420
say that dude's good looking. Oh yeah. So this is completely derailed, but I have to say when I
00:58:21.200
watched Thor and Chris Hemsworth took office, I was like, dang. Like, dude, I told Emily, I'm like,
00:58:26.820
dude, if that guy showed up at the door, you just go with him. Call me later. Like, dude, fuck.
00:58:32.120
Tell me how the hammer felt. Yeah, no shit, dude. Fuck. I, you know, the rock shows up my front door,
00:58:38.140
fucking have a good time. I'll be here crying. Well, you know, I told Ed, cause Ed's got connections
00:58:44.760
to Tim Tebow. I told him, I said, you got, you got to somehow arrange a meeting between my wife
00:58:50.480
and Tim Tebow. Cause that's, that's kind of her celebrity crush. Oh really? Yeah. Yeah. But
00:58:55.880
is it because he's about Jesus? No, I think that probably helps, but I think it has something
00:59:00.900
to do with his physique. Is he going to be super unholy with your wife? Uh, I doubt it. Or it could
00:59:06.900
be considered super holy. Or we could just call Ron Jeremy. Like three holy. How long is this
00:59:15.620
podcast so far? You ever play that game three holy? Three holy? I have never heard of it. I'll tell you
00:59:18.900
about it on the drunk podcast. All right, guys, we'll talk to you later.
