REAL AF with Andy Frisella - What Does It Really Mean To Be Woke？, with Andy Frisella

00:00:00.400 I can stack them hundreds to the roof. I ain't stopping till they stack to the moon.

00:00:04.880 Without me, my family wouldn't have food. Anybody go against me gotta lose.

00:00:12.840 What is up, guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO.

00:00:20.500 Guys, today we got a full podcast ready for your enjoyment.

00:00:25.060 But before I get into that, I'd like to remind you that we do have a fee for this podcast.

00:00:30.580 The fee is this. If you like it, share it. If you get value out of it, share it.

00:00:35.960 If you don't like it, don't share it. If you didn't get value, just don't share it. That's the fee.

00:00:43.620 As always, I'm joined by my handsome, good-looking, extremely jacked self and my co-host, Vaughn Kohler.

00:00:54.220 I don't think it's an if, it's a when. When they get value out of this podcast, they need to share it, you know?

00:01:03.480 Yeah.

00:01:04.100 I mean, you're rubbing off on me a little bit, you know?

00:01:06.340 Yeah.

00:01:06.540 That cockiness and everything.

00:01:08.480 That's just confidence, bro.

00:01:09.900 Yeah.

00:01:11.500 Backed by action.

00:01:15.760 You know?

00:01:16.740 How dare you?

00:01:17.740 How dare you?

00:01:18.620 How dare you mock my cockiness?

00:01:22.580 You're taking away my opportunity to be cocky by making fun of me ahead of time.

00:01:28.120 How dare you?

00:01:29.260 You've robbed me of my download numbers.

00:01:31.360 You've robbed me of my podcast swagger.

00:01:37.660 You should be ashamed.

00:01:38.980 I do wonder how many people know what we're alluding to.

00:01:41.400 Fucking everybody on the internet, that's for sure.

00:01:43.960 I gotta say, I was a little out of it.

00:01:45.460 Somebody shared it with me, and I was like, what is going on?

00:01:48.240 Dude, it's the most ridiculous shit I've ever fucking seen.

00:01:50.180 Yeah.

00:01:50.340 Like, I don't normally talk politics or whatever, but let's be fucking real.

00:01:54.180 Hiring a fucking 12-year-old girl, whatever the fuck she is, who's 16, who's clearly an actress.

00:02:01.100 Clearly an actress.

00:02:03.360 To get up there and pander for your political views as an adult, it's pretty fucking low.

00:02:08.700 Yeah.

00:02:09.220 You know what I'm saying?

00:02:09.900 Yeah.

00:02:10.120 So, that's just a new, like, I'm not even, this is not me being favored towards a party

00:02:22.100 or not, like, the political game as a whole has become a fucking, it's become a total shit

00:02:31.160 show.

00:02:31.520 Yeah.

00:02:32.400 On both sides, on all sides, at all fronts.

00:02:34.860 It's just a fucking, it's not even, it's not even real shit anymore.

00:02:39.240 It's like, what can we do that's more outrage, and this is society now, what can we do that's

00:02:45.640 more outrageous and more out there and more ridiculous to get people to talk?

00:02:51.160 What can we do?

00:02:52.380 Dude, I ran across a fucking influencer, quote unquote influencer last night.

00:02:57.100 Like, every photo of this chick has part of her nipple showing.

00:03:03.020 Like, that's her thing.

00:03:03.840 Like, her nipple's, like, sticking out.

00:03:05.520 And it's just like, dude, what are we getting to?

00:03:09.540 You know what I'm saying?

00:03:10.240 Like, where are we going?

00:03:12.280 Like, we're willing to do literally anything to give fucking attention.

00:03:17.300 You know, as a society.

00:03:18.600 And then you look around and wonder why society's so fucked up.

00:03:21.660 You know, you have grown adults making sex tapes on purpose and making them leak on purpose.

00:03:28.820 Them sucking someone's dick on a video on purpose so that people can become more famous.

00:03:37.140 Like, it's just, it's like, and then you're surprised that we have the fucking problems that we have?

00:03:42.180 Like, dude, you motherfuckers out there right now listening need to realize this is our fault.

00:03:49.320 Well, you know, we have, it's just disgusting to me at this point.

00:03:54.840 Like, it's just disgusting.

00:03:55.980 Like, what is next?

00:03:57.340 Like, every fucking person on the internet, it's like, what can I do to make people talk?

00:04:03.980 And it starts from fucking young kids all the way to the fucking top of the world's strongest leaders.

00:04:13.280 It's like, we've opened this box of zero content, zero substance, all flash, no fucking gas.

00:04:25.700 You know what I'm saying?

00:04:26.520 And it's just, it's absurd.

00:04:29.300 Like, it's absurd.

00:04:31.000 Like, and then people have asked me, well, why don't you have kids yet?

00:04:35.720 Well, I think it's pretty fucking obvious why I don't have fucking kids.

00:04:38.600 Because I don't want to have to explain to them why every single fucking person on the internet has their dick or their pussy or their ass or their tits hanging out.

00:04:49.600 I don't want to explain to them why people shoot up fucking schools.

00:04:53.420 I don't want to explain to them why grown adults hire young kids to pander their causes to get attention.

00:05:01.580 I don't want to explain to them all this shit.

00:05:03.580 I don't want to explain to them how there's 70,000 different genders now when I grew up with fucking man and woman.

00:05:10.820 I don't want to explain to them.

00:05:12.740 You know what I'm saying?

00:05:13.520 Like, dude, I've done enough work in my life.

00:05:16.300 Like, I'm not ready to do all that extra work.

00:05:18.520 You know?

00:05:18.940 Yeah.

00:05:19.260 We're bringing people into this world who are fucking, dude, I feel bad for them.

00:05:25.080 Like, what are they going to have to look to?

00:05:26.860 What are they going to have to, you get what I'm saying?

00:05:29.460 Like, where are we going?

00:05:30.460 I absolutely get what you're saying, and one of the things that I think makes it even more demoralizing is that in addressing all of those issues,

00:05:39.260 almost every single issue that you just mentioned, when good people, when people of goodwill who are not haters,

00:05:47.000 who are not out trying to hurt anybody, start raising very legitimate questions, you're immediately silenced.

00:05:54.080 You're like, oh, you're triggering me.

00:05:56.060 Or, oh, you're being offensive.

00:05:58.340 Or, oh, you're being a hater.

00:05:59.780 You're a redneck from Missouri.

00:06:00.280 You're a redneck from Missouri.

00:06:01.480 You're a redneck from Missouri.

00:06:02.580 It doesn't understand anything.

00:06:03.980 No, motherfucker.

00:06:04.880 I know for sure that if I had two little girls or three, like you do, or like my brother does,

00:06:11.000 then I wouldn't want to explain to them why people that they fucking see on the internet are with their fucking nipples out all the time and shit.

00:06:19.380 Like, dude, like, I'm not saying I don't like nipples.

00:06:21.920 I fucking love them.

00:06:22.820 But that ain't for everybody to fucking see.

00:06:25.020 You know what I'm saying?

00:06:25.560 Right.

00:06:25.900 Absolutely.

00:06:26.200 People right now are like, come on, Andy, you're fucking up there forever.

00:06:28.200 Yeah, you know why?

00:06:29.580 Because I'm sick of seeing it, dude.

00:06:31.100 Yeah.

00:06:31.380 Like, dudes are going to be jacking off to fucking, like, Bugs Bunny and shit eventually because they're so desensitized to, like, skin now.

00:06:41.180 It's like.

00:06:42.100 Absolutely.

00:06:42.660 What the fuck?

00:06:44.120 You know what I'm saying?

00:06:44.880 Absolutely.

00:06:45.240 Like, I shouldn't be able to fucking open up my phone and see 70 fucking percent of the posts some sort of, like, bragging.

00:06:56.500 You know what I'm saying?

00:06:58.080 Like.

00:06:59.540 No, I totally agree with you, man.

00:07:01.120 And one of the greatest things on the planet was the invention of the mute function.

00:07:05.980 Oh, yeah.

00:07:06.780 Mute's awesome.

00:07:07.660 Mute function on Instagram.

00:07:08.680 And I'm just going to tell you, people, like, I follow a lot of people.

00:07:12.380 And if you start, if you start to pretty much post nothing but half naked pictures and just stupid stuff.

00:07:18.400 And by the way, that includes dudes, too.

00:07:20.900 Like, I followed this dude.

00:07:22.080 Absolutely.

00:07:22.300 He was constantly posting pictures of himself bare-chested.

00:07:25.320 It's like, dude, I don't want to see that.

00:07:27.080 Let me guess.

00:07:28.260 He probably made his own supplement brand now, too.

00:07:30.540 Yeah, right.

00:07:32.620 Dude, I'm just sick.

00:07:33.660 That's what's great about mute because you can continue to follow people.

00:07:36.100 Like, I'm sick of the fucking lies.

00:07:38.360 No, I get it.

00:07:38.940 Like, I'm so over it.

00:07:41.480 You know, who the fuck are you guys?

00:07:44.860 What are you guys trying to do?

00:07:46.280 Right.

00:07:46.840 You know what I mean?

00:07:47.540 Like, dude, we've sit here fucking literally giving away how to build a real company for the last five years on this podcast.

00:07:55.960 How to build a real company.

00:07:58.600 And still people, they'd rather become some sort of, you know.

00:08:03.040 So, dude, people are just going to get what they fucking, they're going to reap the seeds they sow.

00:08:08.680 Right.

00:08:08.920 You know what I'm saying?

00:08:09.600 And that's, it's just, I see it, you see it, the world, a lot of people see it, but a lot of these younger motherfuckers, they don't get it.

00:08:16.480 Yeah.

00:08:16.620 You know, and they're going to be, especially in business, you know, these kids who have figured out how to, you know, hack the system on, let's say, some sort of online marketing.

00:08:28.060 Right.

00:08:28.840 And then they're constantly filling it back with a new product, a new product, new product.

00:08:32.500 Yeah, bro, you went out and bought a Huracan.

00:08:34.500 You stood in front of it and fucking, and you're a baller.

00:08:37.420 Cool.

00:08:37.800 Right.

00:08:38.060 What now?

00:08:39.300 What the fuck now?

00:08:40.220 That old saying, easy come, easy go.

00:08:42.020 That's right.

00:08:42.400 That's not different today.

00:08:44.080 No, it's not.

00:08:44.520 It's not.

00:08:45.200 I don't think people realize that there are, you know, in the last 20 years, there are professional athletes who have made enormous amounts of money.

00:08:52.580 Money we cannot even imagine.

00:08:54.720 And they blow through it.

00:08:55.980 Bone, you know how many motherfuckers out there, this is not, this is not an exaggeration either, who are in the entrepreneurial space that I know, and I know well enough to have regular conversations with, that have asked me for money.

00:09:07.400 And they're out there fronting like they're fucking balling.

00:09:10.100 Right.

00:09:10.340 And I'm talking about people that people know have been like, hey, bro, I need a loan or, hey, I need this.

00:09:16.200 And you know what?

00:09:17.200 No disrespect to anybody who's asked me that because, dude, I appreciate the fact that you trusted me enough to do that, and I would never violate that trust.

00:09:24.840 But people that are fucking out fronting and then asking for a loan on the back end from others, you know what I'm saying?

00:09:31.020 Like there's something wrong with that.

00:09:32.700 Yeah.

00:09:33.120 Like you got to get your priorities straight, you know?

00:09:35.880 And it's just, dude, all it is is these young guys getting caught up, young guys and girls getting caught up because for guys it's more like the material shit, right?

00:09:45.560 And, dude, I contribute to this too because I show my shit.

00:09:48.860 But the truth is I earn my shit.

00:09:51.260 I fucking, dude, I've got hundreds of people around me that make great livings because of shit that I endured for years when nobody was fucking around.

00:09:59.460 I'll drive whatever the fuck I want.

00:10:01.360 I'll say whatever the fuck I want.

00:10:03.140 And I'll do whatever the fuck I want.

00:10:05.100 And you know what?

00:10:05.940 If you don't like it, you don't have to follow me.

00:10:07.800 But the truth is, is if you're fucking in your 20s and you're trying to hang with somebody who's my age or somebody, you know, who's been doing a real company, bro, you're going to go broke trying to fucking impress somebody and it's not worth it.

00:10:22.420 Absolutely.

00:10:23.000 You know, and these girls who are, dude, I got a friend who's got a little sister who's 17 years old and I see her little sister online with her fucking boobies hanging out.

00:10:34.080 You know what I'm saying?

00:10:34.660 And her fucking, her swimming suit pulled up her ass.

00:10:37.420 And I'm just like, where the fuck is society going, bro?

00:10:41.240 You know what I'm saying?

00:10:41.940 Like, I'm just so, it's so ridiculous.

00:10:46.120 It is.

00:10:46.960 I agree, man.

00:10:47.640 And like, dude, people, you know, people think, oh, dude, what are you hating on?

00:10:50.840 Like, if I say, right now, people are saying, oh, well, you're just hating on women's bodies.

00:10:54.660 No, I'm not.

00:10:55.240 I fucking love women's bodies.

00:10:56.280 It's awesome.

00:10:57.140 I just think there's a place for it.

00:10:58.540 Right.

00:10:58.900 You know what I'm saying?

00:10:59.680 No, you're right.

00:11:01.000 And, but see, that's.

00:11:02.160 I don't think people should run out there.

00:11:03.660 Like, I feel like people are out there doing shit to throw their fucking viewpoint in your face

00:11:10.660 and then try to get you, get you to say something in response so they can attack you.

00:11:15.660 Right.

00:11:16.080 Right.

00:11:16.560 Right.

00:11:16.740 Oh, you don't like that I fucking show my nipples on Instagram?

00:11:19.460 Don't follow me.

00:11:20.320 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:11:22.020 Look, one day you're going to have to explain that shit to someone.

00:11:25.580 Right.

00:11:26.280 You know what I'm saying?

00:11:27.000 Right.

00:11:27.180 One day you're going to have to explain why mom did this or why dad did this.

00:11:32.320 Like, this shit doesn't even cross these motherfuckers' minds.

00:11:34.760 Right.

00:11:35.520 You know what I mean?

00:11:36.160 But that's a perfect example because the minute you raise a question like, you know, you might,

00:11:42.260 listen, I'm not judging you.

00:11:43.740 I'm just.

00:11:44.180 Oh, yes, you are.

00:11:44.720 You might want to consider not wearing, you know, a piece of floss.

00:11:52.000 Yeah, dude, right.

00:11:55.080 Immediately it becomes, you're judging me.

00:11:57.600 You're body shaming me.

00:11:59.040 No, I'm not.

00:11:59.720 I'm just raising the question.

00:12:01.120 I'm just saying, dude.

00:12:01.760 Like, I roll into a fucking strip club.

00:12:03.740 I expect that shit.

00:12:05.180 I'm a paying customer.

00:12:06.400 I'm the same way with church.

00:12:07.600 Yeah, okay.

00:12:08.460 But you know what I'm saying?

00:12:09.780 Like, dude, I get it.

00:12:11.540 Yeah.

00:12:11.740 But, like, what are we doing here?

00:12:15.040 There's no context.

00:12:15.980 People don't have.

00:12:16.760 Well, it's the same people that don't, like, here's, I think this is related.

00:12:21.000 It's people who don't have the common sense to know that when they ask you to come speak

00:12:25.420 to some, because you've done this before, you've spoken to, like, junior high football

00:12:29.920 teams and stuff like that.

00:12:31.780 It's the people that think that they need to tell you, oh, can you watch the language?

00:12:35.300 No shit.

00:12:35.740 No kidding.

00:12:36.460 Yeah.

00:12:37.020 Like, no kidding.

00:12:38.220 No, or they treat me like I'm some Neanderthal dumbass.

00:12:41.380 Right.

00:12:41.880 That's not aware of that.

00:12:42.960 But it's that same kind of mentality.

00:12:45.140 You say, motherfuckers fucking email Emily and say, what's it like living with Andy?

00:12:48.580 I bet it's really motivating.

00:12:50.060 Like, what do you fucking think, dude?

00:12:51.600 I stand on my kitchen counter and fucking, come on, baby, you can fucking do it.

00:12:56.620 Bake that motherfucking cake.

00:12:58.080 Yeah.

00:12:58.440 Like, dude, what the fuck are you guys thinking?

00:13:00.680 Like.

00:13:01.360 Cook those burgers.

00:13:02.600 Dude.

00:13:03.180 Yeah, for real, though.

00:13:04.620 Cook for blood.

00:13:05.780 But, dude, like, it's just so, it's just so absurd.

00:13:10.020 No.

00:13:10.200 You know, and then you have, like, this is going to make some people mad, but it's the

00:13:15.260 truth.

00:13:15.900 You got these fucking women who think that they're so fucking smart because they're hot.

00:13:22.200 They think they're outsmarting all these dudes.

00:13:24.580 Right.

00:13:24.980 You know, and they think they're going to, like, get all these dudes to pay their bills

00:13:27.900 and shit.

00:13:28.380 And, you know, that might work for right now.

00:13:31.020 But what happens when you're fucking 40 and there's 25-year-olds?

00:13:35.780 Guess what?

00:13:36.340 You're off the fucking roster.

00:13:37.760 And they're in.

00:13:38.560 You're out.

00:13:39.520 Now what?

00:13:40.200 Right.

00:13:40.720 You know, and those people don't think that shit's ever going to happen to them.

00:13:43.480 And every dude out there that does that shit, the girls think they're fucking outsmarting

00:13:48.180 them.

00:13:48.320 When in reality, the guy's the one that's the smart one.

00:13:53.220 Right.

00:13:53.440 Well, I'll take that a step further, man.

00:13:54.960 What if they are successful?

00:13:56.400 What if they get to be 50 and 60 and that system still works for them?

00:13:59.560 You got to ask yourself, if I know that this dude is literally just with me because of

00:14:06.060 my physical appearance, am I really going to be happy?

00:14:08.480 Like, am I going to, if I just have this system that's based on my appearance and based on

00:14:13.300 whatever I give him and it's this sort of contractual thing and it's not really based

00:14:17.160 on love or friendship or mutual appreciation, am I really going to be happy?

00:14:20.940 People just don't understand.

00:14:22.200 They don't understand the shortcuts are not going to give them long-term happiness.

00:14:26.380 It's just not.

00:14:27.060 And that's, that's what our whole, our whole culture is like that.

00:14:30.420 Shortcut, shortcut, shortcut.

00:14:31.860 I want, I want fame.

00:14:33.340 I want to, I don't want to do anything.

00:14:34.740 I just want to act crazy.

00:14:35.840 I want to make my own rules.

00:14:37.900 And if I get it, I've been around short-term results.

00:14:40.020 It's justified.

00:14:40.460 Some of these high fucking follower, Instagram and YouTube folks, dude, their whole day is

00:14:48.400 geared around how many likes, how many views, how many comments they're going to get

00:14:52.940 on their content.

00:14:53.700 Yeah.

00:14:54.320 You know what I'm saying?

00:14:54.860 It's crazy.

00:14:55.420 And it's just, it's become an obsession.

00:15:00.720 It's become like, that is not life.

00:15:02.920 I'm sorry.

00:15:03.660 It's just not.

00:15:04.540 Like people get mad and they're like, oh, Andy, why don't you put out more content?

00:15:07.460 Well, I'm, I'm pretty sure I put out a lot of fucking content that's free.

00:15:11.780 I don't really feel.

00:15:12.760 But you're not obsessive with the way that people are.

00:15:14.820 I don't.

00:15:15.660 You're speaking my language.

00:15:16.420 I haven't, I hardly ever posted anymore.

00:15:18.240 I don't feel the need to do that.

00:15:18.880 You know why?

00:15:19.520 Because I actually own a real company.

00:15:20.920 So it doesn't really matter.

00:15:21.800 You know, and that's another value of doing something real.

00:15:25.580 Yeah.

00:15:25.960 I don't even know where I'm going with all this, to be honest.

00:15:28.060 Well, actually, I had a thought I wanted to, because, you know, early on, obviously,

00:15:32.740 we were poking fun at that, I don't even know what her name is.

00:15:37.280 Greta Thumberg or something like that.

00:15:38.600 Now you're going to make fun of a 16-year-old girl?

00:15:40.420 Oh, you're fucking right, I am.

00:15:41.780 No, but we were talking about that, and that just raised...

00:15:44.260 More so, I make fun of her parents for allowing that to be there.

00:15:47.160 You know, I actually feel very strongly as a parent, because my, you know, my wife and

00:15:51.440 I, we're strong Catholics and we're pro-life, but I actually have a, I have a, I have kind

00:15:56.560 of a hesitation about ever bringing my girls to those kinds of things, because they don't

00:16:01.100 know.

00:16:01.580 That's not what they believe.

00:16:02.900 They're too young.

00:16:03.740 So in other words, I'm not going to like, I'm not going to bring, just co-opt my kids

00:16:08.120 to whatever political rally I'm coming to, because that's what I believe, because I think

00:16:11.800 that's using your kids.

00:16:13.020 It is.

00:16:13.500 That's what I think, that's what I think these people did, is they used this little 16-year-old

00:16:17.180 girl for their own political purposes, because she doesn't know.

00:16:21.380 I don't care how smart she is, she doesn't know.

00:16:23.640 She hasn't lived long enough to really understand all the issues and consider all the different

00:16:27.200 sides.

00:16:27.760 I just don't believe it.

00:16:28.680 So they used her.

00:16:29.240 But anyway, regardless, what I was going to, you posted about this a couple of days

00:16:35.220 ago, it got me thinking about this term, woke.

00:16:37.600 You know, we're woke.

00:16:38.900 Oh yeah.

00:16:39.320 And here's what I have.

00:16:40.080 You ever notice the wokest, the wokest motherfuckers that are woke are the ones we're talking about

00:16:44.520 here too.

00:16:45.020 Right, right, right.

00:16:45.840 They're woke and we're fucking sleeping.

00:16:47.680 Well, yeah, exactly.

00:16:49.020 Well, the thing I, the main issue that I have with it is the primary way that that's used

00:16:54.160 is usually when somebody says you're woke, it means that you suddenly open your eyes to

00:16:58.360 like the seriousness of racism and, and inequality and injustice.

00:17:02.780 And I got to say, in this case, I am personally offended by that because I actually think I

00:17:08.420 do care about those things.

00:17:09.660 But when somebody says they're woke, what that really means is you suddenly bought into

00:17:14.320 all the far left politically correct solutions to those things.

00:17:18.720 Right.

00:17:18.800 You're only woke.

00:17:19.420 You're only woke if you actually agree with our solutions.

00:17:23.040 That's right.

00:17:23.460 And that's the problem.

00:17:24.200 So I thought.

00:17:24.900 That's what I was saying, dude.

00:17:25.600 I was saying that people are only woke to the amount to where their wokeness aligns

00:17:30.180 with their idea of what they think the world should be.

00:17:32.980 Right.

00:17:33.360 And if it's not, if it's not that, then you're, you're asleep.

00:17:37.600 Yeah.

00:17:37.920 You're fucking cheap.

00:17:39.340 You're fucking motherfucker.

00:17:42.500 These, these people have no fucking clue.

00:17:47.420 Dude, most of these people haven't done a goddamn thing.

00:17:51.000 I know you hate that term, but that's the fucking truth.

00:17:53.320 I hear you.

00:17:53.800 They haven't done shit.

00:17:55.500 Okay.

00:17:56.060 Yep.

00:17:56.580 And they're out there fucking giving their life advice and their belief advice with

00:18:02.560 no fucking evidence to back it up other than I got some likes on my fucking Instagram.

00:18:07.420 Right.

00:18:08.180 With my boobies.

00:18:09.160 Right.

00:18:10.120 You know what I'm saying?

00:18:11.160 No, I agree.

00:18:11.920 Dude, if I had fucking big titties and a big ass, you know how many fucking followers

00:18:15.240 I have on Instagram?

00:18:16.200 I'd have fucking all of them.

00:18:17.720 Right.

00:18:18.900 No, that's true.

00:18:19.860 It is true.

00:18:20.360 So I thought maybe it would be fun to talk about like, what does it mean to be woke according

00:18:25.840 to the MFCO project?

00:18:27.420 And honestly, the very first thing I thought, because to me, when you think of, you know,

00:18:31.900 woke, you're, you know, you're waking it up.

00:18:34.060 You're, you're.

00:18:34.680 Well, if we really want to talk about what woke is, woke is understanding being a realist

00:18:41.060 versus living in an idealist situation.

00:18:43.300 Yeah, like waking up from a dream world.

00:18:44.820 Yes.

00:18:45.220 Right.

00:18:45.740 Like, that's woke.

00:18:46.700 So like what.

00:18:47.200 But most people that fucking use the term are avoiding dealing with reality and they're,

00:18:53.920 they're, they're saying that we're not woke because we're not buying into the idealist

00:18:57.500 shit that doesn't even exist.

00:18:59.200 Right.

00:18:59.700 I mean, sure.

00:19:00.420 It's easy to say, oh, all this thing should be this way.

00:19:04.900 There should be no racism.

00:19:06.140 There should be no fucking gender, uh, uh, uh, dysmorphia or fucking discrimination.

00:19:14.180 There should be no hate there, but there is.

00:19:18.320 So what the fuck we going to do about it?

00:19:20.560 Right.

00:19:21.160 You know what I'm saying?

00:19:22.040 Like what's the actual solution?

00:19:23.680 Dude.

00:19:24.360 And the solutions that are being presented are so fucking absurd that it's like, okay, well,

00:19:29.640 you're not even, you're not even in reality.

00:19:31.700 You know what I mean?

00:19:32.560 And so what's disappointing to me is that we, as a people, as a society are more concerned

00:19:41.860 with having our opinion be right, then we're concerned with actually solving the problem.

00:19:47.960 And that comes from social media.

00:19:50.300 We put out an idea on social media.

00:19:52.700 We want it to be polarizing.

00:19:54.480 We want it to, because we know that if it's polarizing, guess what we get?

00:19:58.460 We get eyeballs, we get traffic, we get buzz, which is ultimately self-serving, which means

00:20:04.080 I can sell shit.

00:20:05.300 It means I get paid more to sell more fucking teeth whitening, right?

00:20:10.960 That's what this is about.

00:20:12.320 It's about money.

00:20:13.520 And people are so fucking stupid.

00:20:15.140 They can't even understand it.

00:20:16.780 Like, dude, we're not going to fix any of the problems in this fucking country or in

00:20:21.200 this world until people stop doing shit that is completely self-serving, right?

00:20:27.400 Right.

00:20:27.600 So how is that going to happen now?

00:20:32.340 How's it going to happen?

00:20:35.320 I know how it's going to happen.

00:20:37.740 You're going to have to fucking take care of your own fucking shit on a daily basis.

00:20:42.840 But people don't want to do that.

00:20:45.160 They want to pick up their phone because they're told by all the experts, pick up your phone

00:20:50.040 and say some shit into your phone.

00:20:52.200 You know what?

00:20:52.620 There's some shit you probably shouldn't say into your fucking phone.

00:20:55.220 Not because it doesn't get likes or views or fucking comments, but because it's wrong.

00:21:01.240 You know what I'm saying?

00:21:02.500 Absolutely.

00:21:03.100 It's just wrong.

00:21:03.860 Like, people forget.

00:21:06.980 Like, for me, I've been trying to not use as much language.

00:21:13.240 And sometimes I fail at that because, dude, that's who I am.

00:21:16.900 It's how I speak, right?

00:21:18.560 But I've been trying to improve on that because I know there's kids that are 11, 12, 13 watching

00:21:26.880 me who are going to say, that's how you need to talk to be successful, which is completely

00:21:31.640 wrong.

00:21:32.680 Okay?

00:21:33.240 And I feel guilty about that.

00:21:36.620 But, like, dude, in the big scheme of things, that's such a little thing compared to the

00:21:41.280 other shit that I'm talking about.

00:21:43.340 Like, if I'm stressing over how many times I say the word fuck in front of a 12-year-old

00:21:48.800 kid versus, like, teaching them that they got to, like, go out and sell their bodies to

00:21:54.420 fucking make something of themselves, or if you're not good-looking, or if you're not

00:21:59.160 this, you're nothing.

00:22:01.300 You know what I mean?

00:22:02.140 Oh, absolutely.

00:22:03.660 Dude, that's what's going on here.

00:22:05.180 And it's just, it's gotten to the point where it's just absurd.

00:22:08.420 You know?

00:22:09.340 And I don't know why I'm going off on all this shit, but I think it's that video of

00:22:12.700 that chick.

00:22:13.440 Like, dude, I'm watching this video, and I'm seeing an actress.

00:22:19.820 You know what I'm saying?

00:22:20.780 Yeah.

00:22:20.940 Like, an actress.

00:22:22.520 Reading a, like, when I first watched it, I thought it was a, I thought it was

00:22:25.900 somebody reading for a part.

00:22:28.040 Well, go watch the video again.

00:22:29.940 Go watch it again.

00:22:31.520 This looks like somebody auditioning for a fucking part in Romeo and Juliet.

00:22:37.040 You know what I'm saying?

00:22:37.960 Yeah.

00:22:38.140 I mean, fuck, she's good.

00:22:39.120 She's got a future in that shit.

00:22:40.980 I'm not kidding.

00:22:41.900 No, yeah.

00:22:42.160 I'm being serious.

00:22:43.740 That girl, I don't know her name, don't care, but she's got a future in acting.

00:22:49.920 That was great.

00:22:50.500 But I'm just saying, the point of it, you know, is there a real problem?

00:22:57.820 Fuck, I don't know.

00:22:59.040 There probably is.

00:23:00.300 It's probably bad that everybody drives a fucking car.

00:23:04.520 It's probably bad that there's pollution and all these things.

00:23:08.420 I'm sure there's a real problem here.

00:23:11.160 But the problem that we really have is that you're making it so ridiculous that the people

00:23:16.240 who can actually solve it won't even pay attention because you're making it a fucking joke.

00:23:21.100 Right.

00:23:22.180 You see what I'm saying?

00:23:23.080 No, absolutely.

00:23:24.040 And I actually think one of the biggest issues is that...

00:23:26.780 Like, dude, it's hard.

00:23:27.240 I'm sorry to interrupt you.

00:23:28.000 No, no, you're good.

00:23:28.560 It's hard to take someone serious when they're dressed up like a motherfucking clown and they've

00:23:34.700 got their entire family dressed up like a fucking clown at some sort of fucking parade.

00:23:40.300 It's hard to listen to that shit.

00:23:42.340 It's hard.

00:23:42.780 You can't take that shit serious.

00:23:45.340 Right.

00:23:45.520 Like, dude, is there a problem between the races?

00:23:50.880 Fuck yes, there's a problem.

00:23:52.540 How do we fix that?

00:23:54.040 We don't fix it by standing up for our fucking power and making it...

00:23:59.080 Dude, the media is taking things and people are taking things and they're making the walls bigger, not smaller, which is what we need.

00:24:08.240 There's no real dialect happening.

00:24:10.400 There's no real fucking dialogue happening.

00:24:14.540 You know what I mean?

00:24:15.100 It's just...

00:24:16.060 It's bullshit.

00:24:17.160 How did you build your company?

00:24:19.140 One fucking customer at a time.

00:24:20.560 One person at a time.

00:24:21.720 How sexy is that?

00:24:23.060 It's terrible, but it's the only way.

00:24:26.100 So how do you change society?

00:24:27.780 One person at a time.

00:24:28.960 One person at a time.

00:24:30.140 And all these movements and all these...

00:24:31.280 But the problem, Vaughn, is...

00:24:32.660 The problem is people will not fucking listen.

00:24:36.420 They don't listen.

00:24:37.660 How many people do you know that don't agree with you politically, okay, could you have a real conversation with back and forth?

00:24:45.100 You know, I don't know.

00:24:48.560 I mean, I've done a pretty good job editing my...

00:24:50.960 I'm now around people that even when they disagree with me, they're usually quality people who can have some good conversations.

00:24:56.800 Okay.

00:24:57.160 But on balance, like I'm hardly ever on Facebook.

00:25:00.160 And when I am on Facebook, it's just to say stupid funny stuff.

00:25:03.700 I know one person.

00:25:04.880 I know one person.

00:25:06.500 I know lots of people that don't agree with how I see things politically, okay?

00:25:11.580 Lots.

00:25:12.160 I know one person I can have a real conversation with that actually is more rooted in the other way.

00:25:18.340 You know what I mean?

00:25:19.120 One.

00:25:19.360 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:25:20.400 That's not a knock on them.

00:25:21.960 That's a knock on the way we communicate as humans.

00:25:25.140 You know what I'm saying?

00:25:25.820 Yeah.

00:25:25.880 Because they're saying the same shit.

00:25:27.020 I see these fucking...

00:25:28.620 Because, dude, I'm like middle of the road, dude, right?

00:25:30.700 Like, I don't give a fuck about social stuff.

00:25:32.640 I care about the economy.

00:25:34.260 So, like, dude, go out there fucking...

00:25:36.940 If you're gay, be gay.

00:25:38.320 If you're whatever, be whatever.

00:25:41.000 Everybody should be equal.

00:25:42.440 I totally agree with all that shit.

00:25:44.080 A hundred million percent.

00:25:47.320 But I want the economy to work.

00:25:50.340 I don't agree with giving shit out to everybody and spreading the wealth.

00:25:53.620 That's bullshit.

00:25:54.540 It's never going to work.

00:25:55.500 It's going to destroy the economy.

00:25:57.040 Not only is it never going to work, it never has worked.

00:26:00.240 That's what I'm saying.

00:26:01.140 But do you know what?

00:26:02.380 You can't have that conversation with people because they're so fucking want to be...

00:26:06.580 Their will to be right exceeds their will to fix the problem.

00:26:12.740 And that's the problem.

00:26:14.920 Do you know what's funny about what we're talking about?

00:26:16.920 This is supposed to be a business podcast.

00:26:18.520 There's probably a lot of people thinking right now,

00:26:20.200 this is supposed to be an entrepreneur podcast.

00:26:21.740 I'm listening to idiots talk about politics.

00:26:23.780 They don't know shit.

00:26:24.780 You're right.

00:26:25.200 Maybe we don't know shit.

00:26:26.160 But I'll tell you this.

00:26:28.000 Thinking you know everything is what will kill you in business, too.

00:26:31.860 You know what I mean?

00:26:32.600 Absolutely.

00:26:32.820 And we got a big fucking problem with it here in this country.

00:26:36.140 Big.

00:26:36.860 Absolutely.

00:26:37.440 Like, people on the fucking coast think that everybody in the Midwest is some fucking gun-toting,

00:26:42.340 mass-murder fucking gun freak who wants to, like, you know,

00:26:46.940 you don't need AR-15s for hunting.

00:26:49.320 No fucking shit you don't.

00:26:50.940 That's not the purpose.

00:26:52.260 The purpose of fucking the Second Amendment is to fucking protect the people from a government.

00:26:57.880 Like, the truth is, the way the fucking thing was written,

00:27:01.500 we should be able to buy fucking tanks and aircraft carriers and all this other shit, too.

00:27:06.560 So, the point of having an AR-15 is almost pointless because the whole Second Amendment has been shit on already.

00:27:14.540 So, people are just fucking, but they're absurd about it, you know?

00:27:19.020 We're going to fucking come and take your shit.

00:27:22.320 Where the fuck do you live?

00:27:24.880 Like, how are you going to do that?

00:27:27.540 The people who are tasked with taking the shit believe in keeping their own shit.

00:27:32.840 Right.

00:27:33.140 You know what I'm saying?

00:27:34.500 Like, it's just an absurd argument that we're, like, hearing all these fucking ridiculous things.

00:27:39.860 Like, they're not even possible.

00:27:42.280 You know what I mean?

00:27:43.060 Yep.

00:27:43.340 Like, dude, do I believe there should be stricter regulations?

00:27:45.980 Fucking right, there should be.

00:27:47.520 I shouldn't be able to walk into a gun store in fucking Missouri

00:27:50.740 and walk out with a fucking 30-round magazine, high capacity, today.

00:27:55.640 And I can do that.

00:27:57.120 I should not be able to do that.

00:27:58.520 It should be at least as hard as getting a driver's license.

00:28:02.900 You know what I'm saying?

00:28:03.760 Right.

00:28:04.140 There should be some shit that goes into getting one.

00:28:06.940 But you should still be able to get the shit.

00:28:10.160 That's the truth.

00:28:11.600 Okay?

00:28:12.380 Now, do we have a problem?

00:28:15.560 For sure we have a problem.

00:28:17.460 Why are all these shootings happening?

00:28:20.000 Why are they happening?

00:28:20.920 People refuse to take responsibility for what the real reason is

00:28:25.080 because if you take the guns away, it ain't going to be shooting.

00:28:27.560 It's going to be stabbing.

00:28:29.240 You take the knives away, it's going to be fucking driving people over with a car.

00:28:33.280 Take the cars away, it's going to be bombs.

00:28:35.760 Take the bombs away.

00:28:36.600 So what's the real problem here?

00:28:38.420 The real problem here is that we've got a fucking culture problem

00:28:41.280 at the core of America that is not getting resolved in any way

00:28:46.260 because every motherfucker that's trying to resolve it is doing so

00:28:50.260 with the idea that they are going to get something out of it.

00:28:54.320 They want to be the person who passed gun reform.

00:28:57.920 They want to be the person who created this amazing fucking law

00:29:02.520 that fucking did this.

00:29:04.480 It's not about what's best for the country anymore.

00:29:06.720 It's about what's best for the individual on their fucking social media.

00:29:10.240 And that ain't right.

00:29:12.380 100%.

00:29:12.860 I think the whole gun issue and really every issue in America,

00:29:15.840 people are trying to address the symptoms rather than the root cause.

00:29:19.920 And you just said it.

00:29:21.540 It's a cultural thing.

00:29:22.940 Guns are not the problem.

00:29:23.920 The reality is guns have always been this available.

00:29:29.300 They've always been this available.

00:29:30.220 More available.

00:29:30.520 Do you know that I grew up with people who, like the adults in my,

00:29:33.960 like when I was a little kid in Kansas,

00:29:35.720 the adults used to tell me stories of taking their rifles to school.

00:29:38.560 Bro.

00:29:38.940 Like they used to do it all the time.

00:29:40.360 And people never got shot.

00:29:41.900 The issue is not the guns.

00:29:43.120 The issue is what has happened in America

00:29:44.920 that we've had a cultural breakdown in what's right and wrong.

00:29:47.940 I'll tell you what it is.

00:29:48.740 Decency.

00:29:49.480 Here's what it is.

00:29:50.480 Me, you agree?

00:29:51.200 Fucking right.

00:29:52.000 Yeah.

00:29:52.260 We got kids now who grew up for fucking 12 years or eight years

00:29:57.480 believing that everybody's going to win.

00:30:00.820 We have an entire generation of people that actually believe that.

00:30:04.280 We have an entire generation of people that believe

00:30:06.740 that the world is a fair place.

00:30:08.700 We have an entire generation of people that believe

00:30:11.660 they deserve to have a fucking McMansion.

00:30:15.860 We have an entire generation of people that think they deserve

00:30:18.980 to make $100,000 a year out of fucking college or high school.

00:30:23.880 I'm not saying you can't, but you don't deserve it.

00:30:26.160 Right.

00:30:26.400 We got an entire generation that believes all this shit,

00:30:29.200 who has taught all this shit from the time they were fucking eight years old

00:30:32.460 till the time they were fucking 16 or 18.

00:30:34.740 And you slide that scale plus or minus two years, okay?

00:30:39.000 All those people are now fucking 21, 22, 23, 24, okay?

00:30:43.720 Now they're getting a taste of the real fucking world,

00:30:46.440 which is fuck you, I'm going to win, and you're going to fucking lose.

00:30:50.440 And that's reality, okay?

00:30:52.220 The nature of fucking world is if you're good, you win.

00:30:55.880 If you're bad, you won't.

00:30:57.580 That's the truth.

00:30:58.700 So now we have a situation where because of selfish gain

00:31:02.780 and because of popularity, we have a situation where people are

00:31:07.820 completely misinformed about the way the world works

00:31:11.680 because all these people that taught them this shit

00:31:13.260 wanted to beat their chest about how great they are.

00:31:15.920 Look at me.

00:31:16.400 I'm so progressive.

00:31:17.260 I'm such a good person.

00:31:18.520 I'm teaching my kids the right shit.

00:31:20.500 Yeah, you're teaching your kids the idealistic way the world should be.

00:31:23.960 But the truth is, your job is not to teach them the way the world should be.

00:31:27.740 Your job is to teach them the way the world can be

00:31:30.540 and to teach them the world the way it is

00:31:33.040 and then teaching them how to reform it.

00:31:35.600 That's what should have been fucking taught.

00:31:37.640 And so now we have a situation where these motherfuckers,

00:31:40.060 they come out of high school, they come out of college,

00:31:42.300 they got $100,000 in debt, they got jobs to pay $36,000 a year,

00:31:47.060 and they fucking see no hope, no future.

00:31:50.460 They get bullied, which, you know, fuck, dude,

00:31:52.680 when I was a kid, I got bullied my whole life.

00:31:54.640 You know what I learned to do?

00:31:55.460 Punch a motherfucker in the fucking mouth.

00:31:57.060 Can't do that anymore.

00:31:58.360 Otherwise, you go to fucking jail.

00:32:01.080 Okay?

00:32:01.900 So we got this fucking idealistic fucking culture

00:32:04.940 clashing with the reality of the real world,

00:32:08.160 and people are coming out, and they're extremely desperate

00:32:12.320 because they can't pay their fucking bills, dude.

00:32:16.380 They have no future.

00:32:18.040 They realize that the world sucks, and they're like, fuck.

00:32:22.560 Dude, if I was 22 years old right now,

00:32:24.720 I'd be so motherfucking pissed off at my parents

00:32:27.120 for what they fucking taught me, it'd be insane

00:32:29.340 because their parents fucked it up.

00:32:32.240 And those are the same, and now they're like,

00:32:34.440 oh, I don't know why they turned out that way.

00:32:36.340 They turned out that way because that's what you fucking tolerated.

00:32:39.780 That's what you taught.

00:32:41.860 And there's no accountability for this.

00:32:44.040 No one's coming out saying, hey, you know what?

00:32:47.360 We made a fucking mistake, which you did.

00:32:51.140 Add another layer onto that.

00:32:52.680 Not only do they come out and they get a shock to their system

00:32:54.700 because they realize that the world is not a playground,

00:32:58.240 but they've always been taught that they're special and they're great

00:33:00.820 and they don't have to do anything about it.

00:33:02.320 And deep inside, they know, I don't really feel good about myself.

00:33:06.320 So it's not my fault.

00:33:07.820 It must be your fault or his fault,

00:33:10.180 or it must be because I'm being oppressed for being, you know, fill in the blank.

00:33:13.640 Instead of being taught, listen, you do have intrinsic value before God,

00:33:17.980 but if you want to feel good about yourself, you've got to do something.

00:33:22.540 You've got to do something.

00:33:24.120 Dude, you've got to earn it.

00:33:24.720 You've got to be a contributing member of society.

00:33:26.420 You've got to fucking earn self-esteem.

00:33:28.480 You've got to earn confidence.

00:33:30.180 You've got to earn self-belief.

00:33:32.140 You've got to earn happiness.

00:33:35.100 Just like you would earn a good body.

00:33:37.320 Just like you would earn a good income.

00:33:39.380 Just like you would earn a great relationship.

00:33:41.340 Which, by the way, you have to fucking earn, motherfuckers.

00:33:45.780 You aren't entitled to a good relationship.

00:33:47.880 If you're a piece of shit, you're going to attract a piece of shit.

00:33:52.060 I just did a whole story on my Instagram about this yesterday.

00:33:56.140 Everybody's talking about how everybody else is a hater.

00:33:59.940 Motherfucker, if you're surrounded by all these people that hate on you,

00:34:02.720 it's because you're a hater.

00:34:04.360 It's because you're the friend who's telling people,

00:34:07.360 oh, just have that one drink.

00:34:09.300 It's not a big deal.

00:34:10.100 You know what?

00:34:11.340 Just skip that one workout.

00:34:12.620 It's not a big deal.

00:34:13.360 You know, fuck work, dude.

00:34:14.540 Call in sick.

00:34:15.840 You think you're being a great friend.

00:34:17.980 You're actually being a hater because you've got this other person

00:34:21.040 that you're supposed to care about,

00:34:22.800 and you're putting your fucking wants.

00:34:25.760 You want them to drink with you.

00:34:27.180 You want them to go to the restaurant with you.

00:34:29.120 You want them to call in sick to work.

00:34:31.220 You're putting, again, your fucking selfish desires

00:34:35.340 ahead of someone else who's trying to better themselves.

00:34:39.580 And then you have the nerve to say everybody hates on you.

00:34:43.980 You're the motherfucking anchor.

00:34:46.140 You know what I'm saying?

00:34:47.840 Dude, it's brilliant.

00:34:49.060 No, I hear it.

00:34:50.400 The truth of the matter is, and this is the fucking truth,

00:34:54.560 nobody fucking cares.

00:34:57.020 Nobody gives a fuck what triggers your anxiety.

00:35:01.340 Nobody gives a fuck what triggers you emotionally.

00:35:05.460 No one cares how much money you make or don't make.

00:35:09.120 You have to care.

00:35:10.860 No one cares what kind of shape you're in.

00:35:13.340 You have to care.

00:35:15.080 And, dude, all these motherfuckers out there,

00:35:17.540 dude, they got to completely backwards.

00:35:20.340 You know, they think,

00:35:21.480 oh, dude, well, my parents told me I should always love myself.

00:35:25.320 No, you shouldn't always love yourself.

00:35:27.140 If you're doing things that you know aren't in line

00:35:29.480 with what the fuck you're supposed to do,

00:35:31.180 then guess what?

00:35:32.300 You shouldn't love yourself.

00:35:34.080 That's the truth.

00:35:35.180 Absolutely right.

00:35:35.560 There ain't nobody fucking saying that shit

00:35:37.300 because everybody's too scared to say it.

00:35:39.380 It's the truth.

00:35:40.720 The truth is, when you look in the mirror

00:35:42.600 and you see a fat motherfucker,

00:35:44.280 it's time to go on a diet.

00:35:46.360 It's not time to cry about self-fucking acceptance on Instagram

00:35:50.360 and get applause in the comp.

00:35:52.700 It ain't going to change your life.

00:35:54.020 Right.

00:35:55.680 You know what?

00:35:56.320 I've been fucking fat.

00:35:58.300 No one fucking told me I was fat when I was fat.

00:36:00.620 I knew I was fat.

00:36:02.180 You know what everybody else told me?

00:36:03.520 Oh, bro, you look okay.

00:36:04.900 You look decent.

00:36:06.140 You know what?

00:36:07.280 It's not that big of a deal.

00:36:09.000 Motherfucker, it's a huge deal.

00:36:11.420 Especially for me.

00:36:13.320 Because you all motherfuckers depend on it.

00:36:16.080 You see what I'm saying?

00:36:16.980 Absolutely.

00:36:17.380 And, like, dude, the truth has become such an offensive thing to stand for

00:36:23.620 that people cannot grasp it anymore.

00:36:26.900 It's becoming something that's just so unrecognizable

00:36:30.880 that when people see it, they see it as threatening.

00:36:33.840 They see it as invasive.

00:36:36.840 They see it as offensive.

00:36:38.580 They see it as an assault on their beliefs.

00:36:41.140 The truth is neither for your beliefs or against your beliefs.

00:36:45.480 The truth is a non-biased fucking situation, meaning it's a fact.

00:36:52.600 It's the truth.

00:36:54.180 Oh, well, that's your perspective.

00:36:55.920 Well, there's only so many motherfucking perspectives you can look at something.

00:36:59.520 And usually there's two main ones.

00:37:01.540 And one of them is going to produce a favorable result, and the other one isn't.

00:37:05.840 Are there situations that are a dichotomy where they're both going to produce favorable results?

00:37:10.920 Absolutely.

00:37:11.400 But there are absolutes.

00:37:13.680 And I think that what you're saying people need to really embrace.

00:37:18.880 The truth is a really precious thing that can transform people's lives.

00:37:22.740 And there's that old saying that, you know, the truth hurts.

00:37:25.740 But the truths that hurt are also the truths that tend to heal people.

00:37:29.480 That when you are willing to accept things, even if it really, you know, even if it's tough, even if it hurts.

00:37:35.880 That's how you know it's true, bro.

00:37:36.860 That's how you know it's true.

00:37:37.980 And if you can accept that and embrace it, that's when you're on your way to growth.

00:37:41.480 Like all these people out there that, like, they, you know, when someone says something online and they get all pissed off about it.

00:37:47.280 And they're like, I don't give a fuck when anybody, motherfucker, you care the most of what everybody thinks.

00:37:52.000 That's why you're saying I don't give a fuck.

00:37:54.160 You want to talk about woke?

00:37:55.660 You're displaying your insecurities for the world to see.

00:38:00.020 You're showing your nipple.

00:38:01.540 You're showing your butthole.

00:38:03.480 You're doing it right there in the open.

00:38:05.000 You just don't realize it.

00:38:07.020 Oh, I don't care what people fucking think.

00:38:08.700 You care the most what people think.

00:38:11.900 Otherwise, it wouldn't even be something on your radar.

00:38:14.380 You know, it's really amazing that we're talking about this because I just happened to come across this video and it was so powerful.

00:38:20.260 It was on YouTube.

00:38:21.060 I don't even know how I came across it, but do you remember Margaret Thatcher?

00:38:26.160 She was the prime minister.

00:38:27.640 She's a gator.

00:38:29.080 Oh, different Margaret Thatcher.

00:38:30.660 Margaret Thatcher, prime minister of England, woman, like in the 80s.

00:38:36.240 I like him a little older.

00:38:37.400 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:38:38.040 Well, she's dead.

00:38:38.960 I don't know if you like him dead.

00:38:41.020 That's offensive, Vaughn.

00:38:42.340 Oh, sorry.

00:38:43.000 She should still be alive.

00:38:44.320 But she was on some show and it was in the Netherlands, but it was in English, but they had it like subtitled.

00:38:51.640 And I saw this.

00:38:52.120 It was a little clip.

00:38:53.480 And basically, toward the end of the interview, the Danish, I think, are they Danish from the Netherlands?

00:39:01.420 What are they?

00:39:01.980 Dutch.

00:39:02.380 Dutch.

00:39:03.080 The Dutch host says, oh, well, we do this special thing.

00:39:06.160 It's just kind of a gimmick.

00:39:07.260 And what I do is, at the end of the interview, I have my guest stand up and just jump up and down.

00:39:14.180 And Thatcher's like, well, I can't imagine that I'm going to do that.

00:39:17.880 There's no way I'm going to do that.

00:39:19.520 And she has this really dignified way of expressing herself.

00:39:23.520 And she's like, no, no, it's just a gimmick.

00:39:25.100 And so Thatcher says, young lady, I'll tell you exactly what that is.

00:39:29.760 What that is, is an attempt to show everybody that I'm normal and I'm human and I'm just like you.

00:39:35.120 And I can laugh at myself and everything.

00:39:37.120 And she goes on to say, I know who I am.

00:39:40.420 And I don't have to do anything clownish or stupid to prove to you or to anybody else that I'm a human being and that I have fun.

00:39:47.920 It's a great, like, she just totally drops the hammer on her.

00:39:51.580 But it's how many people live like that, where it's like, you know what?

00:39:55.440 And you and I, we obviously have fun on social media.

00:39:57.780 We do fun things.

00:39:58.360 I post pictures of myself from, you know, my balling days in high school.

00:40:03.580 In youth group?

00:40:04.280 Yeah, in youth group, yeah.

00:40:07.680 Youth group pimping?

00:40:08.840 Yeah, exactly.

00:40:09.740 But there is a limit to that.

00:40:11.520 And I think people are so obsessed with, like, proving that they're somehow likable or they're somehow authentic or they're somehow real.

00:40:17.820 And I'm just a human just like you.

00:40:19.780 And it's gotten to the point of obsession.

00:40:21.840 Where we're trying to one-up each other on showing just what we're capable of doing to get shock value and attention.

00:40:28.160 You know what I'm saying?

00:40:28.700 Dude, yeah.

00:40:29.440 And not only that, now it's become who's got the bigger sob story?

00:40:34.400 Yeah.

00:40:34.580 Who's the most vulnerable?

00:40:36.380 Like, I was telling, somebody said to me, Andy, you're so vulnerable.

00:40:39.760 No, motherfucker.

00:40:40.620 I just tell the truth.

00:40:41.820 You know what I'm saying?

00:40:42.720 Like, dude, it's like we're dealing on Instagram with a fucking 50 billion fucking Tommy Toppers about who wants to compete, about who had the hardest time to get where they are.

00:40:54.660 Well, let's be real.

00:40:55.960 Most of you motherfuckers telling these fucking sob stories ain't accomplished shit.

00:41:00.080 So, what are you telling the story about?

00:41:02.840 Like, uh, you're basically justifying why you haven't done a goddamn thing.

00:41:07.840 You know what I'm saying?

00:41:08.500 Absolutely.

00:41:08.880 Oh, my fucking parents beat me.

00:41:11.420 Oh, blah, blah.

00:41:12.440 Fuck.

00:41:13.780 Dude, I couldn't even, I can't even share half the shit that happened to me.

00:41:17.960 I can't even share it because it embarrassed my entire fucking family.

00:41:22.640 You know that.

00:41:23.860 And like, dude, people fucking, you know what I'm saying?

00:41:26.660 Right.

00:41:26.920 Like, they don't even fucking get it, dude.

00:41:29.160 Like, it's not about how bad your shit was.

00:41:33.100 It's about what you're doing now.

00:41:35.040 Right.

00:41:35.260 It only matters how bad your shit was if you overcame it.

00:41:39.260 Right.

00:41:39.600 You know what I'm saying?

00:41:40.680 You know what I think?

00:41:41.620 I honestly think that when we talk about this, there are people who hear us talking about this,

00:41:45.720 and I think they really believe that that's part of our script.

00:41:50.500 We need to convince people that we struggle just like they do to form some sort of bond with them.

00:41:55.360 But in reality, things come easy for you.

00:41:57.760 It's like that text.

00:41:58.460 Oh, yeah.

00:41:58.540 I don't know if a couple days ago, you know, you and I were texting that before.

00:42:01.540 This shit's easy in the Tyler.

00:42:02.560 Right.

00:42:02.780 This whole fucking, Tyler, you've been with me for five years.

00:42:06.860 Yeah.

00:42:06.940 How long have you been around?

00:42:08.220 Seven?

00:42:08.960 2011.

00:42:09.540 Seven, eight?

00:42:10.260 Yeah.

00:42:10.700 Fucking, it's been easy, bro, hasn't it?

00:42:12.740 Easiest thing of my life.

00:42:13.800 Yeah.

00:42:14.220 Well, and it's like I texted you the other day because we were texting about different

00:42:17.380 things, and I texted you.

00:42:18.300 I was like, bro, I think I seriously have legitimate emotional issues.

00:42:21.640 And I loved your text back.

00:42:22.700 He's like, there's no way you're more effed up than I am.

00:42:25.840 But I think people think we're making that up.

00:42:28.360 Oh, dude.

00:42:28.860 I really think people think, oh, you know what?

00:42:30.780 That's part of the drama.

00:42:32.460 Yeah.

00:42:32.760 If Andy has struggle and we talk about how hard it is, then it makes the overcoming

00:42:37.260 that much more.

00:42:37.980 No, it's reality.

00:42:39.640 Life is not easy.

00:42:41.800 It's hard.

00:42:42.620 No, bro.

00:42:44.280 For everybody.

00:42:45.060 Listen, Vaughn, we have fucking antidepressant commercials on television that have a fucking

00:42:51.200 woman pretending like she doesn't want to do her laundry and saying that she's depressed.

00:42:57.860 Like, they're showing the situation like, oh, well, if you don't feel like yourself, and

00:43:03.340 then they show her sitting on the bed with like a basket of laundry and like, like huffing

00:43:08.400 in it.

00:43:09.280 Who the fuck ever wants to do laundry?

00:43:11.420 You know what I'm saying?

00:43:12.020 Like, the last fucking thing anybody wants to do ever is laundry.

00:43:17.260 It's the worst.

00:43:18.880 Nobody likes it.

00:43:20.200 Nobody.

00:43:21.040 Nobody likes it.

00:43:22.620 And that's the world we live in now.

00:43:24.640 If you don't like something, take a fucking pill.

00:43:27.840 If you don't agree with something, they're fucked up.

00:43:32.000 Right?

00:43:32.500 Yeah.

00:43:32.720 If you can't fucking cut it, the system is broke.

00:43:35.780 Like, dude, where the fuck are we going?

00:43:39.080 Right.

00:43:39.300 Like, we need some real fucking leadership, man.

00:43:42.320 Some real leadership.

00:43:43.380 And the real sad thing about all of that is that everybody has a problem.

00:43:49.360 Everybody's oppressed.

00:43:50.420 So what happens is that the people who really do have legitimate depression.

00:43:54.860 They get, dude, they don't get taken serious.

00:43:57.580 They don't get taken seriously.

00:43:58.500 That's because depression isn't even a real fucking thing anymore, bro.

00:44:01.480 Right.

00:44:01.720 Depression, everybody has depression.

00:44:04.120 Right.

00:44:04.280 Every motherfucker out there, if you ask them, oh, yeah, I got a little bit of depression.

00:44:08.160 You don't have, you're either fucking depressed or you're not.

00:44:11.500 Okay?

00:44:11.900 And let me tell you something.

00:44:12.960 If you ain't sitting there fucking on a daily basis thinking about blowing your motherfucking brains out, you ain't got it.

00:44:20.320 You're just having a bad run.

00:44:22.260 You know how I figured out I had depression, bro?

00:44:25.140 I think I said this to you before.

00:44:26.940 Yeah.

00:44:27.040 I don't know if I ever said this on the show.

00:44:28.560 Ever since I can remember my entire life, my entire fucking life, those antidepressant commercials will come on TV and I would hear them say, if you have thoughts of suicide, you know, call a doctor immediately.

00:44:43.300 Blah, blah, blah.

00:44:43.900 Right.

00:44:44.140 And I used to sit there, I can remember, I was about 13 or 14 years old when I first fucking heard that.

00:44:51.060 And I'm like, how fucking weak is this shit?

00:44:54.100 I'm like, everybody thinks that.

00:44:56.600 Because I didn't have the perspective to know that not everybody thought that.

00:45:01.080 I just always thought that.

00:45:02.480 I can remember thinking that when I was in fifth, sixth grade, dude.

00:45:05.640 You know what I'm saying?

00:45:06.300 Like, having these weird, like, dreams, almost glorification of suicide.

00:45:13.260 Like, people don't understand what that means.

00:45:16.060 That means you're actually having, like, these visions of you fucking shooting yourself or hanging yourself.

00:45:27.920 And, like, I thought that was normal.

00:45:30.300 Right.

00:45:31.220 You know what I'm saying?

00:45:31.980 Absolutely.

00:45:32.400 So, like, dude, that's fucking real depression.

00:45:35.720 You know what I'm saying?

00:45:36.680 Like, and because we have everybody depressed now, the people who really have it aren't getting fucking treatment.

00:45:46.120 Every motherfucker right now is like, well, mental health's a real fucking thing in entrepreneurship.

00:45:52.440 No, it isn't.

00:45:54.100 Mental health is a real thing in all of the world.

00:45:57.640 And some people just aren't cut out to be entrepreneurs.

00:46:01.840 My fucking mental health has almost nothing to do with how stressed I am or what I can handle that shit.

00:46:09.320 It's an uncontrollable fucking chemical deal in my brain.

00:46:12.380 And people will say, well, you could do fucking this or you could do this therapy or that motherfucker.

00:46:18.440 You don't get it.

00:46:20.100 You know what I'm saying?

00:46:21.260 And people think they get it and they don't.

00:46:23.700 And it's just another example of people doing shit for attention.

00:46:27.440 You know, I used to be more vocal about it because I thought it helped people.

00:46:31.620 But you know what it did?

00:46:32.660 It made everybody fucking say the same shit.

00:46:35.460 But, you know, I'm sorry.

00:46:39.200 100% of the population has not suffered from fucking depression.

00:46:42.620 Right.

00:46:43.300 I'm sorry you had a bad day.

00:46:44.900 But there's money in it, dude.

00:46:46.080 Exactly.

00:46:46.580 There's money.

00:46:47.240 That's it.

00:46:47.540 And I'm telling you, I'm going to sound like, boy.

00:46:49.820 So my wife's a doctor.

00:46:51.240 I am not against doctors.

00:46:53.260 I love doctors.

00:46:54.460 I think, you know, I just went to-

00:46:56.200 There's good and bad ones.

00:46:56.860 Yeah, there's good and bad ones.

00:46:58.000 I just went to a doctor.

00:47:00.060 He's my favorite doctor I've ever had in my life.

00:47:01.920 And I'm so thankful for, I think, with all the things that we complain about in America

00:47:06.580 with our healthcare system, we still have the absolute number one healthcare system in

00:47:10.900 the world.

00:47:11.580 That said, something has happened in all areas of medicine, psychological, biological, whatever,

00:47:18.760 to where we pathologize everything.

00:47:21.820 So it's not, oh, I'm just having a bad day.

00:47:24.520 There's some things happening in my life.

00:47:25.860 They're kind of getting me down.

00:47:27.780 Suddenly, no, it's pathological.

00:47:30.060 You have depression.

00:47:32.280 Or whatever.

00:47:33.860 We make diseases out of things that are actually results of lifestyle.

00:47:37.700 By the way-

00:47:37.960 And I'm telling you, there's huge money in that.

00:47:39.660 Don't even get started.

00:47:40.260 Oh, yeah.

00:47:40.280 By the way, bro, here's a fucking pill that you could take-

00:47:42.820 Right.

00:47:43.160 That'll secure that shit for you that I'll get money off of.

00:47:46.600 Right.

00:47:47.840 Right.

00:47:48.960 Like, my wife very regularly tells people, you know what?

00:47:52.860 I think, you know, it's very possible that you could be diagnosed as clinically depressed.

00:47:57.740 But a couple of things you want to make sure to get in order.

00:48:01.220 You're eating.

00:48:02.360 You're-

00:48:02.900 Assuming.

00:48:03.780 You're exercise.

00:48:04.380 Yes.

00:48:04.820 You know, could there be some sources of stress in the family?

00:48:07.640 It's amazing what-

00:48:08.100 You know, just like interpersonal type of things.

00:48:10.900 Going through all those things instead of just rushing to a pill.

00:48:14.300 Now, my wife's not in that.

00:48:15.300 I mean, she's a-

00:48:15.900 Bro, it's amazing what you can do when you actually take care of your own shit.

00:48:19.140 Yeah.

00:48:19.200 Like, you're supposed to.

00:48:19.800 Yeah.

00:48:20.200 You're supposed to drink water.

00:48:21.920 Water is the primary fucking life source of humanity.

00:48:25.220 Right.

00:48:25.540 You're supposed to eat good food.

00:48:27.340 You're supposed to move.

00:48:29.260 Right.

00:48:29.360 That's what we're built for.

00:48:30.460 Right.

00:48:30.580 When you don't do those things, guess what happens?

00:48:32.640 Things don't work properly.

00:48:34.500 Right.

00:48:34.620 It's amazing what will fix itself by you just getting your fucking shit together.

00:48:38.020 And stop being a lazy fucking piece of shit like I was sitting on a couch weighing 350 fucking pounds watching reruns of Pacific Rim until I was jacking off to the motherfucking robots.

00:48:50.820 Okay?

00:48:51.820 Like, dude, we need to wake the fuck up.

00:48:54.460 Yeah.

00:48:55.100 You know?

00:48:56.000 We need to be truly woke.

00:48:57.340 Huh?

00:48:57.520 To be truly woke.

00:48:58.600 Yes.

00:48:59.280 To see life as a battlefield, not a playground.

00:49:01.860 To realize that at the end of the day, you have to earn happiness.

00:49:05.220 You have to earn your right to feel good about yourself.

00:49:07.360 To realize that not everything is some sort of pathology or you're not being victimized, but that you could actually be suffering from something that's the result of your own choices.

00:49:16.940 Of your own fucking decisions.

00:49:17.640 Those are the first three steps to being truly woke.

00:49:20.140 Dude.

00:49:20.960 Dude.

00:49:22.560 Just because I'm not cool with someone sexualizing their fucking nine-year-old child at a fucking pride parade or whatever, I don't think that's right.

00:49:32.720 Right.

00:49:32.940 Okay?

00:49:33.220 Just because I'm not cool with that does not mean I'm not woke.

00:49:38.040 And by the way, I have a fuck ton of gay friends that I fucking love a lot.

00:49:42.220 Well, and just because you're not cool with it doesn't mean that you hate the person who's doing it.

00:49:46.400 No.

00:49:47.340 The motherfuckers I'm friends with don't agree with that shit either.

00:49:50.460 Yeah.

00:49:50.620 You know, and dude, really what it comes down to too is that we have a media who is in place that is feeding us information based upon ratings that they can get because they could then charge more money for the eyeballs that they get on the fucking stories they run.

00:50:07.880 Right.

00:50:08.100 Like, that's absurd.

00:50:11.520 So, you're telling me that the entire message that humanity has delivered is dependent upon a fucking dollar.

00:50:21.900 And it doesn't matter if the message that's delivered is hurting the culture, the very fiber of what this country is made of.

00:50:31.040 It doesn't matter.

00:50:32.980 That's obscene, dude.

00:50:34.860 You know what I mean?

00:50:36.180 Absolutely.

00:50:36.660 Absolutely.

00:50:36.780 That's crazy.

00:50:39.320 People want to know why I don't have kids?

00:50:41.260 Listen to this podcast about 30 fucking times.

00:50:44.700 Yeah, but there's another way to look at it.

00:50:46.340 I know the other way, but you know what, bro?

00:50:48.260 I'm fucking tired.

00:50:49.400 No, I know.

00:50:49.980 Hey, man, I'm tired too.

00:50:51.100 You know I'm tired.

00:50:51.560 The other way, I know what you're going to say.

00:50:53.160 The other way is people like you and people like us have our duty to raise blah, blah, blah.

00:50:57.440 I don't want to use the word duty.

00:50:59.460 That's what people tell me.

00:51:00.480 Yeah, well, no, I'm not.

00:51:01.760 I don't want to use the word duty.

00:51:02.980 I just, to me, it's like.

00:51:04.020 Like people try to guilt you into that.

00:51:05.560 No.

00:51:06.080 Here's what they do.

00:51:06.780 They tell me.

00:51:07.360 They're like, well, bro, if you don't fucking have the next generation, what's going to

00:51:11.740 be like?

00:51:12.140 I'm like, well, I don't know.

00:51:14.300 Why don't you figure it out?

00:51:15.120 Yeah, no.

00:51:15.620 You should never bring a child into the world out of guilt.

00:51:17.680 What I am saying, though, is that if more people like us, and I'll just say it because

00:51:21.080 I don't feel bad about saying it, if more people like us raise good kids, that influences culture.

00:51:27.920 Does it?

00:51:28.900 Yeah, I think it does.

00:51:29.940 I don't know if it does.

00:51:30.880 I think it does.

00:51:31.360 I'm pretty sure.

00:51:32.860 I'm sure that was, I think that's the way it used to be.

00:51:35.980 Yeah, I think it does.

00:51:37.120 I think.

00:51:37.420 I don't know, Vaughn.

00:51:38.240 I mean, I still think the family is the.

00:51:39.780 Are your kids at school yet?

00:51:41.360 Yeah, they started.

00:51:42.240 Okay.

00:51:42.500 Aren't you nervous about what the fuck these people are going to teach them in school?

00:51:46.020 Not super nervous.

00:51:47.280 I mean, I am.

00:51:48.100 I got my kid in a private school, so.

00:51:49.820 Yeah, well, that ain't much better.

00:51:51.260 I mean, I went to private school, too.

00:51:52.420 No, I hear you.

00:51:53.060 I was talking fucked up shit.

00:51:53.660 I hear you.

00:51:53.920 No, but the point remains that you're bringing it up, but it's a crisis, you know?

00:51:58.980 And I mean, honestly, dude, I know you and I have had lots of great conversations about

00:52:03.860 this, and I'm not trying to necessarily, like, browbeat anybody with this.

00:52:07.180 I'm not either.

00:52:07.700 But, well, what I'm saying is, like, I don't, well, I look around at humanity, and I don't

00:52:14.680 see the solution human.

00:52:16.460 I do believe people have to get back to just kind of humbling themselves and having a relationship

00:52:20.900 with God, and I know a lot of really bad stuff has been done in the name of religion.

00:52:24.940 I get that.

00:52:25.440 I totally do.

00:52:26.400 But for me, like, it comes down to, like, I know that I'm screwed up.

00:52:30.260 I know that I need the mercy and the power of God in my life, and I need it to flow through

00:52:34.500 me to help other people.

00:52:35.520 So, to me, that's where I'm coming from.

00:52:37.080 Like, I don't look to any political party.

00:52:39.360 I don't look to any sort of movement, ultimately, to save the world.

00:52:43.660 I believe in the power of God working in the human heart, and that's what I believe in.

00:52:47.780 This is a place where I, like, I truly do agree with Gary, like Gary V.

00:52:51.960 Like, you know, I love Gary.

00:52:53.280 We don't always agree, as you guys know.

00:52:57.220 But he does, his favorite word to say is empathy.

00:53:00.360 You know what I'm saying?

00:53:01.060 Yeah.

00:53:01.180 And as much as I'm talking, like, aggressively here or whatever, like, it's because I'm passionate,

00:53:06.460 dude.

00:53:06.700 Like, I just, I'm so frustrated with all the problems.

00:53:08.660 Yeah, I get it.

00:53:09.480 You know, I'm a fucking, I'm a fucking creator entrepreneur.

00:53:12.880 I'm not a, I'm not a copy someone else entrepreneur.

00:53:15.900 Like, I try to, like, actually create solutions.

00:53:18.940 And when you're built like that, it's very hard not to be passionate about literally every

00:53:25.980 problem that's out there.

00:53:27.260 You know what I mean?

00:53:28.280 But one thing he does talk about a lot that I give him a lot of respect about is empathy.

00:53:32.460 I wish he would talk about it more in terms of giving it context.

00:53:36.780 But, you know, when people do fucked up shit, you know, I used to just attack them.

00:53:42.580 This is why I don't do, like, these, these political rants and shit that other people do

00:53:47.260 online.

00:53:47.640 I could easily do them and I think I'd probably be the best in the fucking world at it.

00:53:51.260 But the truth is, is I don't do that because I do feel like you're discounting someone's

00:53:58.120 upbringing and their worldview and, and all the things that contributed to them becoming

00:54:02.160 that way.

00:54:03.360 And I think a more productive conversation instead of to, to attack and just like blast people

00:54:10.500 and make these videos like do nothing.

00:54:12.760 I don't, nothing costs someone my respect more than putting someone else on fucking

00:54:19.480 blast.

00:54:20.180 I cannot stand that.

00:54:22.060 I think it's the shittiest, lowest, disgusting fucking form of trying to get attention that

00:54:28.480 exists.

00:54:29.320 You know what I mean?

00:54:30.340 Because dude, everybody's got cracks in their fucking glass.

00:54:34.440 You know what I'm saying?

00:54:35.040 And so when, when I think about it and I think of the term empathy, the real way to think

00:54:44.500 about it is to, to think about, okay, I believe what I believe.

00:54:48.200 I was brought up like this.

00:54:49.660 I, I had these experiences.

00:54:51.640 This person had these other set of experiences that have literally no relation to what I've

00:54:56.440 been through.

00:54:56.860 So they, they were told this by people that they loved over and over and over.

00:55:01.520 You know what I'm saying?

00:55:02.200 So you have to like, try to understand where the fuck people are coming from.

00:55:05.920 And there's just a huge lack of that going on.

00:55:08.520 People just don't do that.

00:55:10.300 They judge people.

00:55:11.840 They point fingers.

00:55:13.340 They point blame when in reality, man, the world fucking sucks because of you.

00:55:18.500 And I'm not talking to you.

00:55:19.860 I'm not talking to you.

00:55:20.660 I'm not talking to you listening.

00:55:21.940 I'm talking to all of you and I'm talking to myself.

00:55:24.180 It's because we're not living the right example for other people to follow.

00:55:29.680 That's the problem.

00:55:30.940 That's the fucking problem.

00:55:32.680 And for all of this shit and all of this conversation and all this drama.

00:55:38.460 And at the end of the day, dude, people pretty much want the same shit.

00:55:43.820 You know what I'm saying?

00:55:44.780 They want freedom.

00:55:45.820 They want, they want safety.

00:55:48.080 They want the ability to have the opportunity to be somewhat successful.

00:55:52.800 They want to be able to make enough money to pay their bills and eat some food and have some good times with their friends.

00:55:58.720 That's what people want.

00:56:00.580 But they're not able to have it right now because, dude, greed is completely destroying the fucking earth.

00:56:07.380 And that's coming from a fucking entrepreneur capitalist.

00:56:11.220 You see what I'm saying?

00:56:12.180 Yeah, man.

00:56:12.800 And so, dude, I know people are listening right now and they're thinking, well, fuck, dude.

00:56:15.980 You're all over the place with your beliefs.

00:56:17.660 Because I am.

00:56:18.660 I don't fit into one box.

00:56:20.200 Right.

00:56:20.420 You know what I'm saying?

00:56:21.620 I don't think it's right that the pharmaceutical companies can charge $700 for a pill that I know costs less than a dollar.

00:56:28.220 Right.

00:56:28.620 I know that's what it costs.

00:56:29.280 That's a great example.

00:56:30.100 You get what I'm saying?

00:56:30.820 Yeah.

00:56:30.980 That's not okay.

00:56:32.520 Dude, my sister and brother-in-law just had that huge tragedy with their kid that we've all been going through as a family.

00:56:39.500 Their fucking bills are absurd.

00:56:41.800 Dude, absurd.

00:56:43.640 And that's by my standards.

00:56:45.540 Right?

00:56:46.180 Like, I've got some money.

00:56:47.300 And they're absurd.

00:56:48.540 Right.

00:56:49.020 Like, what would happen to a normal person that gets that?

00:56:54.120 You know what I'm saying?

00:56:54.940 Right.

00:56:55.380 Like, it would completely ruin their fucking life forever.

00:56:58.960 That is not okay.

00:57:00.500 That is not fucking okay.

00:57:03.440 You know?

00:57:04.100 Absolutely.

00:57:04.740 But yet, what do we have?

00:57:05.960 We have a government that serves for their own fucking well-being.

00:57:10.680 They make laws that are special for them.

00:57:13.260 They have people.

00:57:14.460 They're allowed to take money from organizations that don't benefit the greater good.

00:57:21.040 Right?

00:57:21.860 They're allowed to do things that regular people aren't allowed to do.

00:57:27.700 I mean, dude, we've got...

00:57:28.960 This whole thing we've got going on here needs to be fucking cleaned up.

00:57:35.000 Yep.

00:57:35.320 You know?

00:57:37.180 You got the fucking internet who's still...

00:57:41.620 The internet...

00:57:42.740 Like, people are like, oh, the fucking...

00:57:44.100 The economy is so fucked up.

00:57:45.540 No shit is fucked up.

00:57:47.000 You got fucking something like 70% of the fucking sales are now online, but you don't charge

00:57:52.580 them fucking tax.

00:57:53.840 Where the fuck do you...

00:57:55.020 Where do you think the funding has gone for all these state governments?

00:57:58.400 It's the brick and mortar business.

00:57:59.300 Yes.

00:57:59.660 Yeah.

00:58:00.140 Who employ more people.

00:58:01.720 Yeah.

00:58:01.920 You can't figure that out, and you're fucking supposed to be in office and serving us.

00:58:06.000 You can't figure out that you're giving a 10% advantage by letting the internet not

00:58:11.020 charge tax.

00:58:12.220 They can charge 10% less than the fucking brick and mortar companies that have the ones

00:58:18.180 that employ most of America, and you can't figure out why the fuck people don't have jobs

00:58:23.620 and why the government doesn't have...

00:58:26.260 Like, how do you not see this shit?

00:58:28.380 Right.

00:58:28.560 I mean, dude, it's just...

00:58:31.440 Right.

00:58:32.600 It should be obvious shit, dude, that everybody fucking notices, but why isn't it?

00:58:37.980 It's because the biggest companies in the world are fucking buying John Q fucking politician

00:58:43.660 a yacht.

00:58:45.380 You know what I'm saying?

00:58:46.460 Absolutely, yeah.

00:58:47.060 That's fucking wrong, bro.

00:58:48.660 It's wrong.

00:58:49.460 No, I agree, man.

00:58:50.740 It's bigger than any one of us individually can do anything about.

00:58:55.060 And I liked what you were saying about just recognizing that life is hard and we need

00:58:58.700 to be there for each other and not let the groups, you know, not like the special interest

00:59:07.040 groups and the politicians and the news agencies, not let them create divisions that really don't

00:59:12.060 exist.

00:59:12.680 They do that for profit, man.

00:59:13.880 Yeah, they do it for profit and they're hurting all of us.

00:59:15.600 Yes.

00:59:16.700 And dude, we need, as a people, dude, we need to quit buying into the shit.

00:59:20.040 Yeah.

00:59:20.340 You want to fucking, you want to really solve the problem?

00:59:23.080 Quit buying into all the bullshit that's put in your fucking ears and eyes.

00:59:27.620 Yeah.

00:59:27.740 It's not true.

00:59:28.300 But each of us would do a lot, do a, our culture, a really great service if we just

00:59:33.140 knew the difference between someone saying that we were wrong and someone saying that

00:59:36.700 we were bad.

00:59:37.340 Those are two different things and we just need to learn to, to, to agree and disagree

00:59:42.060 and not like hate each other.

00:59:43.380 I've read studies lately that say that, um, one of the biggest differences in American

00:59:47.580 culture is that there's always been, I mean, politics has always been fiery and, and

00:59:52.920 there's always been a lot of passion, but there's a lot of studies show that more and more

00:59:57.900 Americans are not just seeing Americans who disagree with them as, um, they're not just

01:00:03.740 seeing them as wrong or the other side.

01:00:05.620 They're seeing them as like evil and they hate them.

01:00:08.460 Dude, how's, where'd that come from?

01:00:09.860 Yeah.

01:00:10.520 That came from politicians.

01:00:11.620 Right.

01:00:11.860 Well, and I would argue that it also came from politicians whose, whose basic playbook

01:00:16.860 is, well, is not just a mudsling, but to pit classes against each other and genders

01:00:23.300 against each other and races against each other.

01:00:25.640 And I think there's a whole playbook.

01:00:27.780 I mean, yeah, don't get me started about that, but there's a whole socialist Marxist

01:00:32.360 playbook that says, if we could, yeah.

01:00:34.820 Yeah.

01:00:35.020 Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky.

01:00:37.020 Um, and that's a far left book.

01:00:38.840 And the idea is that you create discontent between people and then you come in and you

01:00:44.300 create a revolution and you be the savior.

01:00:46.820 Yeah.

01:00:47.200 But, uh, I love a quote.

01:00:48.840 Um, but dude, why is that the tactic?

01:00:50.380 Because it comes down to personal gain, right?

01:00:53.440 It comes down to me wanting to be important or me wanting to make more money or me wanting

01:00:59.780 to be somebody or me wanting to be the person who broke the story.

01:01:04.040 And so we're not worried about telling the truth.

01:01:06.800 We're worried about telling a sensationalized version of something that could or could not

01:01:11.620 be true in order for people to watch it, to argue about it.

01:01:15.680 Because then we could say, look at all the people watching.

01:01:18.980 You got to pay more money to advertise your fucking dishwasher detergent.

01:01:22.780 Yep.

01:01:23.060 That's right.

01:01:23.980 That's the problem.

01:01:25.040 You're right.

01:01:26.360 You're absolutely right.

01:01:27.240 It's fucking disgusting, dude.

01:01:28.780 It is.

01:01:29.380 But if people just listen to our show, everything will be better.

01:01:35.200 And we don't even have advertisements.

01:01:37.360 Motherfucker, people don't share my shit.

01:01:39.380 They don't share my shit.

01:01:40.640 They don't.

01:01:41.000 They say, I can't listen to him because he fucking cusses too much.

01:01:45.240 Or they say something like, you know, like, dude.

01:01:51.160 It's just, it's ridiculous.

01:01:54.540 Sorry, I hurt your little fucking ear balls or eardrums or whatever the fuck you got.

01:01:58.640 I think you do have little balls in your ears, don't you?

01:02:00.860 I don't know.

01:02:01.280 I don't know.

01:02:01.860 I was going to say eyeballs and then I decided to say ears and the words mended and it became

01:02:07.380 a new word.

01:02:08.020 Ear balls.

01:02:08.100 Yeah, I like it.

01:02:08.920 Yeah.

01:02:09.160 I like it.

01:02:09.960 So.

01:02:10.440 Well.

01:02:11.060 I don't know, bro.

01:02:11.860 Good stuff, man.

01:02:12.280 I think we covered a lot of stuff.

01:02:13.540 Yeah, man.

01:02:14.100 It's just, you know, people would do themselves a service by actually being woke to reality,

01:02:22.260 not what they want to believe is reality.

01:02:26.100 That's what being woke is.

01:02:27.180 Being woke is seeing shit for what it is.

01:02:29.640 And you motherfuckers out there saying, oh, I'm woke because your definition of woke matches

01:02:34.520 your beliefs.

01:02:35.040 You're a fucking puppet.

01:02:35.980 Just like what the shit that you think that you're not.

01:02:38.300 You're that.

01:02:39.660 You know what I mean?

01:02:40.560 Woke is assessing the situation as a fact.

01:02:43.820 What is going on?

01:02:45.440 And you know what?

01:02:47.440 Most people that use that term, it's a slang term.

01:02:50.360 They like to talk about, I'm so woke, blah, blah, blah, because they got some fucking

01:02:54.840 conspiracy theory about some fucking bullshit.

01:02:58.460 You know?

01:02:59.040 Like, woke is, I'm a realist.

01:03:01.700 I see the way things are.

01:03:02.840 I see the way things aren't.

01:03:03.860 And I'm operating in that world.

01:03:05.480 You all motherfuckers can operate in the other world.

01:03:07.260 And I'm going to take responsibility for my baggage and my issues and my, the way that

01:03:12.180 I contribute negatively to the world.

01:03:14.220 And I'm going to do my best to take control of my actions to make the world a better place

01:03:20.180 instead of saying that I'm a victim or that I'm going to blame this, this, and this, you

01:03:23.740 know, that's, that's what it means to be woke.

01:03:26.260 I think so.

01:03:27.540 Yeah.

01:03:28.220 I mean, I think it's, um, I don't know, man, we got a long way to go.

01:03:36.220 Yep.

01:03:36.700 You know what I'm saying?

01:03:37.460 Like a long way to go.

01:03:39.600 And I know this is supposed to be business related all the time and this and that, but

01:03:43.540 this is just shit that's been on my mind, man.

01:03:45.600 Yeah, man.

01:03:46.040 And, uh, it's, it disturbs me because like I've made a lot of money, dude.

01:03:50.980 And I continue to make a lot of money.

01:03:52.360 And like, you know, I'm not saying that to brag.

01:03:55.360 I'm just saying, as a matter of fact.

01:03:56.700 And once you, once you've gotten to a point where, I mean, you literally don't have to

01:04:01.300 worry about money forever.

01:04:03.140 Um, you're thinking sort of changes, you know what I'm saying?

01:04:06.740 You move on to new problems.

01:04:08.240 Yeah.

01:04:08.720 You know what I mean?

01:04:09.340 Yeah.

01:04:09.700 And this is something that, you know, people, people always say, dude, you should fucking

01:04:16.020 run for lost.

01:04:16.700 I ain't doing that shit either.

01:04:17.880 No, that's not my game.

01:04:19.240 I am not, I'm not fucking schmoozing.

01:04:21.920 No motherfuckers to get anything from them.

01:04:23.840 Although I have to say it would be kind of cool.

01:04:26.700 I mean, I'm assuming I, I might be able to give the prayer at, at your inauguration.

01:04:31.140 I heard the funniest story.

01:04:32.580 I heard the funniest story about some dudes that went to the white house recently and met

01:04:37.300 with Trump.

01:04:37.980 Yeah.

01:04:38.200 So I was meeting with this guy who's a big, he's a big time, uh, Sal and I were meeting

01:04:43.720 with him.

01:04:44.960 He's a big, I'm not going to say what company, but he's a buyer with one of the world's largest

01:04:50.560 companies.

01:04:51.280 And, um, he was wanting to buy a product from us.

01:04:54.060 And I think, you know, it may or may not happen.

01:04:57.520 But, um, anyway, we were talking about, they had, uh, all the heads of like these big travel

01:05:05.800 companies, enterprise, uh, you know, fucking all, all the big car rentals and the big hotel

01:05:12.540 companies, all the CEOs and Trump walks into the room and goes, uh, Hey, all you motherfuckers

01:05:22.520 here, you're all rich.

01:05:23.980 If you think that we're going to, that we're going to just subsidize all the growth of

01:05:28.600 your company, you're in the wrong place.

01:05:30.760 Now, if you need money in your town for infrastructure and new airports and things that we can help

01:05:36.320 to increase travel, that's what we can do.

01:05:39.460 But if you think you're going to sponge us for money and you think we're going to do this,

01:05:43.280 it ain't fucking happening.

01:05:44.580 And he said, it's just like that.

01:05:46.140 That's awesome.

01:05:46.980 And then he goes, he goes, you guys understand me?

01:05:49.440 You're all rich anyway.

01:05:50.260 And they all said, yes, sir.

01:05:51.280 And he goes, he claps his hand.

01:05:53.360 He goes, all right.

01:05:54.380 Who wants to see the Oval Office?

01:05:58.500 Dude, you know how fucking funny that would be, dude.

01:06:01.080 Holy shit.

01:06:02.840 All right.

01:06:03.280 Who wants to see the Oval Office?

01:06:04.640 Like he's been in there for four years and he's still fucking, dude, that's some badass

01:06:08.540 shit.

01:06:09.000 That is.

01:06:09.360 That's nice.

01:06:09.700 And you know what?

01:06:10.760 I don't agree with everything the motherfucker says and does, but the guy's funny.

01:06:15.100 Dude.

01:06:15.440 You can laugh at it.

01:06:16.240 I'm telling you right now.

01:06:17.000 You know who else was funny as a president?

01:06:18.780 Fucking Clinton was funny as fuck.

01:06:20.400 Oh yeah, he was.

01:06:21.500 No.

01:06:21.740 I'm telling you right now, I just got, I'm so over apologizing.

01:06:26.980 Like if I think Mr. Trump does something good, I'll say it.

01:06:30.140 Yeah.

01:06:30.340 I kind of stopped doing that because you get some people, you say anything nice about

01:06:34.460 the president.

01:06:35.020 Yeah, that shit's fading out though.

01:06:35.600 And they go nuts.

01:06:37.600 Yeah.

01:06:37.880 And they're all in California.

01:06:38.900 No offense, Californians, but hey, they're not all in California, but most of them are.

01:06:44.220 I don't, I'm not such a sheep that I don't look at people for who they are and what they

01:06:48.180 do, not what party they represent.

01:06:50.500 Yeah.

01:06:50.880 And you and I have talked about the conservative wackos on the other.

01:06:54.080 It goes back to, it goes back to what I said.

01:06:56.440 People are worried about being right.

01:06:58.760 Right.

01:06:59.020 Instead of actually being right.

01:07:00.820 Right.

01:07:01.420 You know?

01:07:01.780 But it's, it's, it's like a.

01:07:03.240 So there is a business lesson here.

01:07:04.780 Yeah.

01:07:05.040 Here's the business lesson.

01:07:06.480 The business lesson is let go of wanting to be right and embrace actually learning what

01:07:13.900 is right.

01:07:14.860 And if you could fucking do that.

01:07:16.780 That should be on a fortune cookie.

01:07:17.880 Yeah.

01:07:18.220 Well, if you can do that, you're ahead of the game.

01:07:20.840 You know what I'm saying?

01:07:21.920 You detach yourself emotionally from any of the result and you just see it as, yes, this

01:07:28.560 works.

01:07:29.080 No, this doesn't work.

01:07:30.660 That's what successful people do.

01:07:32.640 I don't give a, like the guys, you guys all tease.

01:07:34.960 Me and shit about everything was my idea.

01:07:37.540 I don't care if it comes from me.

01:07:39.860 That's why you guys tease me.

01:07:41.160 Cause you know, I don't really care.

01:07:42.320 I don't fucking give a shit.

01:07:44.080 If the right idea comes from the newest guy that just started here a fucking hour ago.

01:07:49.180 You know what I'm saying?

01:07:50.200 My job is to recognize the, the way that's going to work.

01:07:53.580 And then when my, when I pick the way it doesn't work and it doesn't, guess what I

01:07:57.240 get to say?

01:07:58.160 Well, I was fucking wrong about that.

01:08:00.080 Maybe we should try the other way.

01:08:01.320 Right.

01:08:01.780 You know what I'm saying?

01:08:02.420 Yeah, I know.

01:08:02.840 It's not that hard.

01:08:03.840 Messed up people want to be right.

01:08:05.380 Successful people just want to discover the truth.

01:08:07.760 Dude.

01:08:08.420 I, I, I truly see that.

01:08:10.340 I see that with dude.

01:08:11.460 Every single dude I know who I, who I personally know that I would consider wealthy.

01:08:18.060 Okay.

01:08:18.580 This is not, you own a fucking used hurricane on Instagram.

01:08:22.200 This is wealthy motherfuckers.

01:08:24.760 Every single one of them, all of them obey what I just said.

01:08:30.020 They're not trying to win the conversation.

01:08:32.580 They're not trying to argue for their point.

01:08:35.040 They're stating their point.

01:08:36.960 They might pick their point, but when they see that their point isn't working, you know

01:08:41.920 what they do?

01:08:42.440 They cut the motherfucker off as fast as possible.

01:08:45.160 You want to be wrong as quick as you possibly can.

01:08:48.820 You see what I'm saying?

01:08:49.860 Yeah.

01:08:50.120 It's just a different mentality.

01:08:51.920 But if the whole world would just think like this in their social issues or their, their

01:08:57.160 beliefs about the way that the world is, we would have an actual product.

01:09:02.320 We'd be able to have a productive conversation.

01:09:05.260 You know what I mean?

01:09:05.780 But the problem is, is that people are indoctrinated with belief from the time they're two years

01:09:11.200 old until they're 30.

01:09:15.160 And then they have to make a decision about, well, was my mammy and my papi right?

01:09:22.040 Or is the rest of the world right?

01:09:24.280 And that's a hard decision for people to make.

01:09:25.980 It is.

01:09:26.380 It's hard to look and say, well, mammy and papi didn't know what the fuck they were talking

01:09:29.740 about.

01:09:30.700 You know what I'm saying?

01:09:31.540 But it's also, it's also hard because people don't understand that you can say your parents

01:09:36.700 are completely wrong about something and still recognize that they loved you, you know,

01:09:41.120 and that they did a good job.

01:09:42.520 They were just wrong.

01:09:43.540 That's it.

01:09:44.600 That's it.

01:09:45.660 That's it.

01:09:46.440 Like you don't have to hate people that fucking that dude.

01:09:50.760 Yeah.

01:09:51.460 Dude, can we just solve all the world problem, please?

01:09:53.720 This would be fucking easy to do.

01:09:55.680 If you guys would just spread this shit around, spread the message and you know, not even my

01:10:00.840 message, just fucking take the message and make it yours.

01:10:03.700 I mean, Jesus, the truth, dude, it's just the truth.

01:10:07.380 Yeah.

01:10:07.680 It's just the truth.

01:10:09.480 Yeah.

01:10:10.160 You know what I'm saying?

01:10:10.900 Mm hmm.

01:10:11.320 And people just want to argue and argue and argue.

01:10:14.040 And at the end of the day, the truth stands, dude.

01:10:17.620 The truth stands.

01:10:18.580 It's like my boy Sean Whalen says, the lighthouse, you know what I'm saying?

01:10:21.720 His lighthouse analogy.

01:10:23.360 The truth is a fucking lighthouse.

01:10:25.500 It is not fucking moving.

01:10:27.420 It doesn't matter if it's a hurricane.

01:10:28.860 It doesn't matter if it's a fucking earthquake.

01:10:31.020 It doesn't matter if it's a tidal wave.

01:10:32.360 It doesn't matter.

01:10:33.740 The lighthouse is fucking there to guide you and decide.

01:10:36.680 You can decide if you want to follow the lighthouse.

01:10:39.460 And guess what happens if you don't?

01:10:40.780 You end up in the fucking rocks and right now, every other motherfucker out there is

01:10:46.060 trying to figure out how they can get through life without while ignoring the lighthouse

01:10:50.200 when a lighthouse is shining right in their fucking eyes.

01:10:53.420 You know what I'm saying?

01:10:54.600 Yeah.

01:10:55.040 Like, that's the thing that confuses me.

01:10:57.160 Like, you've got this.

01:10:58.480 You have this all this evidence in the world that things are fucked up, but you can't see

01:11:06.660 the truth still.

01:11:07.460 Instead, you fight for the fucked upness of the world.

01:11:13.360 I mean, and I'm making a weird ass face right now.

01:11:15.840 Like, like, like that, you know, what's that face?

01:11:18.560 What do you think I'm making?

01:11:19.320 Like, you're perplexed.

01:11:21.520 Yeah.

01:11:21.720 Like, that makes no fucking sense face.

01:11:23.640 Yeah.

01:11:23.820 You know what I'm saying?

01:11:24.260 I seem to be making that more and more.

01:11:25.720 Yeah.

01:11:25.880 Yeah.

01:11:26.100 I could tell because it's making me have wrinkles in my eyes.

01:11:29.040 I need some fucking Botox or some shit, you know?

01:11:31.960 Tyler, where do you get your Botox?

01:11:33.200 I know you get some, motherfucker.

01:11:36.540 I know you've had Botox.

01:11:39.060 I've had fillers in my eyes.

01:11:40.660 I knew it.

01:11:41.260 I didn't even know it, but I knew it because that sounds like some shit you would do.

01:11:45.160 You know what?

01:11:45.580 That's OK.

01:11:46.080 I still like you.

01:11:47.180 Do you?

01:11:48.040 I don't give a fuck.

01:11:49.220 You know what I'm saying?

01:11:50.360 I'm wearing short shorts now.

01:11:52.100 It's awesome.

01:11:53.320 Right.

01:11:53.800 I am.

01:11:54.360 I know.

01:11:55.000 Yeah.

01:11:55.400 I know.

01:11:55.800 I adopted the fucking...

01:11:57.140 They're not short.

01:11:57.940 They're like nine inch inseams.

01:12:00.360 That's not short.

01:12:02.560 That's just shorter than what I was wearing.

01:12:04.460 Yeah.

01:12:04.660 That's what I would call a normal short size.

01:12:06.880 We went to Vegas and Tyler made sure to enforce that the shorts look good the whole time.

01:12:11.060 OK.

01:12:11.540 Yeah.

01:12:11.780 Well, that's...

01:12:12.540 At least 75.

01:12:13.400 That's his expertise.

01:12:14.300 So he knows something about that.

01:12:15.540 Yeah.

01:12:16.120 But it made me feel good.

01:12:17.340 That's good.

01:12:18.820 Oh, man.

01:12:19.760 What else?

01:12:20.260 What else can we fix today?

01:12:21.620 I don't know.

01:12:22.600 I think this is kind of a long podcast.

01:12:24.940 I don't know.

01:12:25.480 It seems long.

01:12:26.020 Oh, fuck, dude.

01:12:27.260 It is long.

01:12:28.000 Yeah.

01:12:28.360 How long is it?

01:12:30.420 Hour 15.

01:12:31.200 Oh, shit.

01:12:31.700 I'm sorry.

01:12:32.540 No, no.

01:12:32.900 It was good stuff.

01:12:33.520 You got to go.

01:12:33.900 I just figured it...

01:12:34.740 Yeah.

01:12:34.960 No, that's all right.

01:12:35.600 Shit, I was...

01:12:36.340 Fuck, I keep going.

01:12:37.620 Hey, we can keep going.

01:12:38.580 We're trying to pull that Rogan style now.

01:12:40.100 Fucking three hours long.

01:12:41.960 No, I like these kind of...

01:12:42.760 Somebody bust out the fucking weed.

01:12:43.540 Honestly, I like these kind of podcasts.

01:12:44.940 And I think, you know, judging by our numbers, most people do, too, is that...

01:12:49.040 But you know what?

01:12:49.940 Here's what I will say, bro.

01:12:52.600 Yeah, but here's what I want to say to, like, you guys listening.

01:12:55.760 Like, you don't have to fucking agree with what I'm saying.

01:12:57.900 Right.

01:12:58.100 You know what I'm saying?

01:12:58.700 Like, but you're wrong.

01:13:03.860 I always tell people, you can disagree with me.

01:13:05.680 You have the right to be wrong.

01:13:06.780 No, I'm just playing.

01:13:07.720 Like, look, dude.

01:13:08.780 Because, like, dude, don't take what I say to the fucking extreme, okay?

01:13:12.660 I'm giving you my perspective on my life experience and where I've been.

01:13:16.480 And I've seen a lot of shit, man.

01:13:18.680 Dude, all the shit that you guys could fucking imagine.

01:13:22.920 Like, just imagine the bad shit outside of being murdered.

01:13:26.500 I've had all of it.

01:13:28.320 Yeah.

01:13:28.760 You know what I'm saying?

01:13:29.520 And, like, dude, I don't share that shit because I don't need no fucking sob story bullshit.

01:13:35.140 You know, I share how I got stabbed because it's relevant to business.

01:13:39.140 Because it made me a memorable figure.

01:13:41.200 You know what I mean?

01:13:41.980 But outside of that, I don't need to fucking sob it up.

01:13:44.940 Like, I know shit's hard.

01:13:45.880 It's fucking hard for all of us, man.

01:13:47.740 And we're not in a race to see which one had the worst life experience.

01:13:51.900 You know?

01:13:52.200 Right.

01:13:52.840 Like, fuck, dude.

01:13:53.880 And to be honest, no one gives a fuck unless you overcame it anyway.

01:13:56.580 Yeah.

01:13:57.720 It's true.

01:13:58.440 You know?

01:13:58.740 Good stuff, man.

01:14:01.200 So, I'm not running for president.

01:14:05.640 People are going to fucking, because that's what people are going to say.

01:14:09.200 It doesn't pay enough.

01:14:10.440 Yeah.

01:14:11.000 No, it definitely doesn't pay enough.

01:14:12.420 I already got all this fucking gray hair and shit.

01:14:14.900 Why would I want more than that?

01:14:15.960 Yeah.

01:14:16.280 No kidding.

01:14:16.860 I got, like, the good blend.

01:14:18.480 Like, I got that blend, you know?

01:14:20.000 Yeah.

01:14:20.680 No, you do.

01:14:21.200 Next year, it's going to be that fucking most interesting man shit.

01:14:24.440 It's going to be all white.

01:14:25.820 They're going to be like, what?

01:14:26.660 Andy, how did Andy get 60 in one day?

01:14:29.720 Yeah, well, you know, if I go completely.

01:14:31.440 I mean, dude, am I off base on this shit?

01:14:32.900 No, man.

01:14:33.420 But, you know, if I go completely bald, or not completely bald, but completely gray and white,

01:14:37.320 you know what's going to happen.

01:14:38.640 What?

01:14:39.600 I'm going to be Vaughn Connery.

01:14:41.480 Oh!

01:14:43.280 Vaughn Connery.

01:14:44.320 Vaughn Connery.

01:14:44.920 I like that.

01:14:45.600 Yes.

01:14:46.080 On that note.

01:14:46.760 That's a good one.

01:14:47.740 I do got to get going.

01:14:48.860 All right.

01:14:49.560 Well, dude.

01:14:50.100 Hey, man.

01:14:51.980 Good talk.

01:14:53.080 Yeah, it was.

01:14:53.860 It was a good talk.

01:14:54.940 I'm enjoying these more conversational talks.

01:14:58.660 I like the fact that we don't feel that compulsion to just create for the sake of creating.

01:15:03.140 Yeah, dude.

01:15:03.580 You know what?

01:15:04.100 Publish for the sake of publishing.

01:15:05.020 It just produces shitty content.

01:15:07.380 It does.

01:15:07.800 And it's not good for you guys listening.

01:15:09.880 It's not good for us.

01:15:12.360 It's just not good for anybody.

01:15:14.000 Yeah.

01:15:14.100 You know?

01:15:15.300 Yeah.

01:15:15.420 It's got to come from the heart, man.

01:15:18.860 Yep.

01:15:19.480 Agree totally.

01:15:21.180 Look, I'm not.

01:15:23.000 I want people to understand, too.

01:15:24.580 Like, I want to be clear about this.

01:15:25.900 Like, dude, I don't give a fuck what your beliefs are.

01:15:28.140 Like, it's not that I don't care, but I'm not going to discriminate upon you because you

01:15:32.640 believe a certain thing.

01:15:33.960 Right.

01:15:34.140 That's what I'm saying when I say I don't give a fuck what your beliefs are.

01:15:36.500 Right.

01:15:36.820 Dude, you got a place in my fucking table, man.

01:15:39.100 Just let's have a talk.

01:15:40.540 Yeah.

01:15:40.820 You know what I'm saying?

01:15:41.860 Like, let's have an intelligent conversation versus fuck you.

01:15:46.600 You're fucking this and this and this.

01:15:48.040 You don't know.

01:15:48.800 Motherfucker, I know.

01:15:50.260 You know what I'm saying?

01:15:51.000 And I don't know what you know because I haven't been where you've been.

01:15:53.740 Right.

01:15:54.320 You know?

01:15:54.820 Yeah.

01:15:55.040 Let's talk that way.

01:15:57.960 I don't know.

01:15:58.400 Maybe I am getting a little more mature.

01:16:00.100 No, I think our podcast has done a good job.

01:16:03.960 I'm always amazed by the diversity.

01:16:06.380 And I don't mean, like, ethnic diversity.

01:16:08.020 I mean the different kinds of people that listen to our podcast.

01:16:11.620 And they're united.

01:16:12.440 We've kind of found a common core of people who might look very different.

01:16:18.020 They might have different backgrounds.

01:16:19.220 They might speak differently.

01:16:20.840 But they have.

01:16:22.020 I mean, even just in the last Arate,

01:16:25.040 You know what they are, bro?

01:16:26.480 What?

01:16:26.820 They're fucking awesome Americans.

01:16:28.860 They are.

01:16:29.280 And you know what?

01:16:29.920 You might be listening in Russia.

01:16:31.360 You might be listening in fucking China.

01:16:33.320 We got people all over the world.

01:16:34.560 We have somebody who listens from the Isle of Man.

01:16:37.140 I know.
