Your feelings and emotions do not matter. The work that is required is the only thing that matters. And if you can accept that, you will thrive in life. Welcome to the Bedros Koolian Show. Fellas, you have been lied to since birth, and it is costing you your strength, your confidence, and your edge. Welcome to the Bedros Koolian show. Today's episode is all about the five lies

that society has told you that is keeping you weak, dumb and broke. And I do believe that the opposition is on a mission to keep men weak, broke, and dumb. And I'm going to explain why. I'm going to tell you the five lies the society is telling you. And then what you need to do to be able to regain your strength, your confidence, and your edge in life. Because as men, we need to be ruthlessly disciplined and dangerous with a path to righteousness. So here is what you need to. need to know. I've learned long ago that weak men are predictable, programmable, and profitable. I just, I've known this because when you think about what most direct response advertising

is targeting in terms of men, it targets weak men who are losing their hair, maybe they don't have the ability to get an erection anymore, or they need to lose weight. It's always a weakness in an area, right? But if you have confidence, if you have charisma, if you are purpose driven, do you care if you're bald? Do you care? You probably don't. But if you don't have confidence, charisma, you're not purpose driven, you don't have a path in life. Now you're like, oh, man, I'm losing my hair. This is, this is scary, right? And so I've learned that if you want to make money, if you want to program people, if you want to be to be someone who controls and gets compliance, then you want to target weak men.

That's just it. Weak men are predictable in their behavior. Weak men are programmable and profitable. So why is this important to you? Because society has told you everything to keep you weak, to keep you dependent. For example, thing number one, they've told you that you're enough just the way you are. Well, are you? I don't think so.

Like, how are you enough just the way you are? Women come with inherent value because women, as they grow up, they have beauty. They have this ability to attract us as men. And they are able to give life. Yes, we are involved in the life process. But we just simply do the insemination. and they are the ones who carry that baby for nine months, who care for that baby afterwards.

And the reality is that baby has a deeper bond. And so that woman feels more valuable. Men have no inherent value when we are born, right? Yes, your mom and dad like you and koochikoo and they get a little rattle and you have a little good time. But the reality is as you grow up, unless your mom and dad is the only people that you're trying to get any kind of, love and respect from, you're screwed.

Because the only way you're going to get love and respect from anywhere else in the world is if you perform, if you can deliver, if you can add value, if you can deliver the outcome, if you are results driven, that's it. And so as men, you are not, you're not enough. You are not enough just the way you are. Because we are born with no inherent value, right? And we need to develop self-worth. We need to develop value.

And that comes as a byproduct of exercising on a consistent basis of eating right and staying lean and jacked and of course of educating ourselves so that we can be charismatic we can be competent and we can be educated so that we can hold a debate in a conversation without falling apart and being emotional right most men fall apart and become emotional right and so if you're broke if you're emotionally fragile if you're mentally weak if you're if you're addicted that's you're not enough that's not enough how can that be enough and it's so easy to get addicted to gambling the vape pen, social media, like that the average person is on social media, three hours a day, that's not counting any other distractions, any other vices, any other things that are going to

pull your attention from your life's work. Three hours on social media. How can that make you enough? You're not. So understand that they've told you and lied to you when they said you are enough just the way you are. You're not. Build yourself.

Build your knowledge. Build your bank account. build your education, build your ability to be charismatic, and build your ability to debate and understand conversation. Guys, quick interruption to the Bedrose Coolean show. I took some time to go to the local juice stores here in town, and I bought all these different ginger, turmeric, and wellness shots. Now, they range anywhere from $3.69, all the way to $4.

And to be honest with you, they all suck. Why? Because they do not have anywhere near the wonderful ingredients of the Trulene Wellness Shot. First of all, to build your immune system and keep your immune system strong, Truling Wellness shot is packed with vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc. And also to help you fight off inflammation, it is packed with turmeric, ginger, and black pepper. And to keep you hydrated, Trulene Wellness shots have sodium, potassium, and magnesium.

This is the ultimate morning supplement. Just take one packet, pour it in four ounces of water, and shoot it, and you're good to go. Best of all, $1.69 per packet instead of twice the price of those other inferior one. I want you to get 50% off your first 30-day supply. So go to truleen.com, use my name Bedros, and you can get 50% off plus free shipping, a 30-day money back guarantee, and $1 gets donated to Shriners Children's Hospital.

So go to truleen.com, use my name Bedros and get your 50% discount code before it goes away. Back to the show.

Number two, the other lie that they've told you. Your feelings are everything. Logic is a trap. It's not. Your feelings are not everything. Sure. Do you have feelings? Yep.

Are those feelings valid sometimes in terms of how you feel? Sure. Yeah. Someone said something and it hurt your feelings, right? They said, hey, you're ugly. Hey, you're fat. Some of it might be true. I don't know for some of you.

You might be ugly and fat. Maybe you hit every branch on the ugly and fat tree going up and down, right? But if someone hurt your feelings, does that mean that today you don't get up? and you don't do the work to make money for your family, that you don't get up and you don't work out and eat right and be kind to humanity. And so men, more than ever, have spent too much time getting all up in their feelings,

getting all up in their emotions. And your feelings are not everything. Logic is everything. Reasoning is everything. It's okay for you to have feelings. It's okay for you to acknowledge your feelings, but you still move on and you do what a man is supposed to do irregardless of your feelings.

if you feel tired, you feel exhausted, you feel stressed, you don't feel like it, you still do it. That's what a man does, right? And so your feelings, emotions do not matter. The work that is required is the only thing that matters. And if you can accept that, you will thrive in life. If you decide, well, no, no, you know, my feelings do matter. And in fact, I need to go on antidepressants because I'm always anxious and depressed. I need to go on anxious antidepressants so that I can manage my feelings and emotions.

No, brother. The only reason you're all fucked up with your anxiety and your depression is because you are not doing the work that a man needs to do. A man needs to go to bed tired. He needs to go to bed tired and he needs to be able to tame his mind. And if you can go to bed tired, meaning you did a full day's work, you got your workout in, you helped people out, you served humanity. You will go to bed exhausted. You will have peaceful sleep and you will have tamed your mind. when a man decides to shortchange himself by not doing the work, not doing the workout,

not eating clean, taking all this fucking processed food and sugars and carbohydrates in and all the electrical energy drinks that you're sucking in. Think about that. The caffeine that you're taking in, the highly processed foods. All that stuff is so much energy. And if you're not using that energy, of course you're going to feel depressed. Of course you're going to feel anxious. Of course you're going to feel unful.

you're going to feel on edge. You're going to lose your edge because you're going to be on edge. You understand that, right? Society fears men who are able to manage their feelings and emotions and not allow those feelings and emotions to rule them. Now, that's why society wants you to live by how you feel, to live by your emotions. Your job as a man is to do the opposite. acknowledge that those feelings and emotions exist and then go and do the work because action

alleviates anxiety. I'm going to say that again. Action alleviates anxiety. Action alleviates depression. Action alleviates stress. Action alleviates uncertainty. You may not know the right action to take, but for crying out loud, go do something. If you're like, well, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to figure out exactly how to work out so I can build muscle and get lean. And so until I figure it out, it's going to take me about a month to gather information due to chat GPT, watch a whole bunch of YouTube videos, and then figure out my macros and the perfect workout split. Okay, so for a whole other month, you're going to continue to be depressed, anxious, stressed out, sad, emotional, all up in your fields. Or you just go to the gym and start working

out like a fucking donkey. Get sore. Get so sore that you actually break down more muscle than you're building. And then the process of it keep doing the research. Like you have to start today. That's the thing that men don't do. They avoid urgency. you put everything off for a later date because it's okay to acknowledge your feelings and emotions apparently these days. Women have the luxury of doing that, putting something off if they have cramps, if it's that time of the month, if it's, you know, they're not feeling it because their energy is cyclical. It goes up and down based on their hormones.

You're a goddamn man. And if you can't step up when you're feeling sad, lonely, little depressed, and anxious and still do what you're supposed to do to catapult yourself out of that sadness, loneliness, anxiety, and depression, then what kind of a man are you? But I'm telling you right now, man, society wants you to stay weak. They want you to be predictable, programmable, and profitable so they can sell you all the antidepressants, they can sell you all the processed foods, they can sell you all the fucking bullshit energy drinks, they can sell you all the fucking rogain to slack all over your

fucking head. Fuck that shit. Thing number three that society is doing to keep men weak. They say, hey, just be a nice guy. And the world will reward you. No, the world does not reward nice guys. The world rewards good men. There's a great book out there called No More Mr. Nice Guy by Robert Glover.

And he talks about how the world does not reward nice guys, guys who are passive, guys who are indecisive, guys who don't have purpose, guys who are all up in their feelings and emotions, guys who are always seeking the approval and validation of others, instead of listening to the voice of God, consciousness, their higher self, right? That's what a good man does. What a good man does is he decides that he is going to be a decisive man. He's going to figure out what his life's mission and purpose is. He's going to figure out how to build himself into a man that he respects and he admires,

that he is going to acknowledge his feelings and emotions, but he's not going to let those feelings and emotions control his daily habits and actions, right? That is a good man. That is the kind of man who is dangerous. The world needs more dangerous men with a righteous intent. Hear me out on this. The world needs more dangerous men who have a righteous intent.

There's nothing wrong with being dangerous, physically dangerous, financially dangerous, spiritually dangerous, educationally dangerous, but be righteous, right? only deploy that danger when you need to. But sadly, we are now rewarding nice guys because we are okay with declawing and defanguing men. Why? Again, you are easier to get control and compliance over if you are declawed and defamed and your masculinity is seen as toxic and unnecessary today because it's 2025. We don't need this kind of toxic masculinity.

Bullshit. Bullshit. There's nothing toxic about masculinity. The absence of masculinity in a man is toxic because it is then that he is passive and decisive with that purpose, without strength, without courage, without honor. And he will not be loved and he will not be respected

unless it's your mom. Your mom might love you. She probably won't even respect you. But beyond that, there's no room for nice guys. Be a good man, a good man who's a savage, who's a servant, who's a leader, who can communicate, who can earn. who is thoughtful, who is kind, compassionate, but absolutely dangerous with righteous intent. So then, number four of all the things that they, they try and instill in you to keep you weak,

dumb, and dependent. They say chasing success and money is shallow. You shouldn't chase success in money. Oh, really? then who exactly is going to pay my bills? Who exactly is going to make sure my mortgage is paid for? Who's going to pay for the insurance? Who's going to pay for the quality of life?

Who's going to make sure that my family has the safety and security? Money is a vehicle to freedom and access without money. You will not have freedom, access, security, any of that. If you want to access good information, you want to access good people. like you want to be like homies with Trump go donate a million, two million, three million dollars to his fund. Well, I guess he can't get reelected.

But let's say he was trying to get reelected for another term, right? If you were to donate a couple million, very quickly you would get to know him. That's access, right? You want to get to know me? You want to get to know the people that you look up to? Join their coaching programs.

Figure out a way to go to their live. events. It costs money to be within proximity of powerful people. But if you don't have the money, then you're never going to get there. You're always going to look to the government, to your spouse, to somebody else for a handout. A man who has money has options. And let me tell you something else about money and success. When they tell you, you shouldn't have to chase it. Chasing money and success is shallow. There's nothing shallow about it. Success is what builds a man's confidence. Now, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't do the self-work.

You shouldn't do the healing work. You shouldn't get over your trauma. You shouldn't learn how to communicate. You should learn how to do all of that. You should learn how to manage your emotions, thoughts, feelings. You should build mental toughness. But success is a badge of honor to a man. We are designed to build, to conquer, to acquire, to have, to invest.

There's nothing wrong with that. They've told you it's shallow. They've told you it's wrong. It is not. It is not. So I'm here to tell you there's nothing wrong with chasing success and money so long as you have the balance of love and kindness and healing. It is only the love of money, the love of money that can be shallow. When you put everything on money, yet you're a douchebag, asshole, womanizing, fuck.

that is beyond shallow. You're just a prick. And nobody wants to be around that person anyway. Right? A broke man is easy to control. Understand that. A broke man is someone who complies. A broke man lacks confidence

because if you're broke, you haven't really done anything to stack confidence. Yes, you can stack confidence through working out and eating right. You can stack confidence by raising your kids well. But make no mistake about it, one of the greatest categories that a man could stack confidence in,

is his success, his financial success, because you feel like you cannot hunt if you were broke, if you're in debt, if you have more outgoing than coming in financially, you feel weak. You feel like a cuck. And I share this with you because weak men are easier to control, right? Success and money equal power, respect, access, protection, and impact. I can impact more people by having money. I can give to the charities that I believe in. I can give to the causes that I believe in.

I can take care of the people that I love and respect and want to care for. But without it, what am I going to do? Cross my fucking arms and say, well, someone should do something about that without me being that someone who can do something about it? What a fucking hypocrite I would be, right? Thing number five, the lies that people tell you, the society tells you to keep men weak. You should be happy with what you have. No, no, nope, nope, nope, no, no, no.

Do not be happy with what you have, fellas. Do not be happy with what you have. You are born a peasant. You are born a loser. You are born as someone that has low, poor standards for yourself. And then it is the work that we do to build ourselves, to build ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and within confidence, where we become a high value human, right?

We want to become a high value man. So we have to be harder on ourselves. Do not celebrate mediocrity. Do not accept average as the norm. They want you to accept average because your parents, your friends, your school teachers, grandparents, even your people who you work with, the bar has been set so low, right? So you should not be happy with what you have and where you are in life. If you're fat, lose the weight.

If you got a few vanity pounds to lose, lose it. If you know you need to stop drinking, stop drinking. You're like, well, you know, I'm not addicted. I'm just an occasional drinker. It's still poison. You're still shrinking your brain. You're still increasing your odds of dementia. You're still poisoning your organs.

It's doing you no good to drink. Just because you're a social drinker, an occasional drinker, they tell you that you're fine the way you are. You're not. Because the moment you stop drinking, they go, are you okay? What did you stop? Is everything all right? What's so righteous about fucking drinking anyway?

You know you need to stop. So stop it, right? Be harder on yourself. The people around you have low expectations of you. You need to have higher expectations of yourself when the people around you have low expectations of you. They have low expectations of you because they have low expectations of themselves.

How can they hold you to a higher standard when they can't hold themselves to a higher standard? So be harder on yourself. Set higher standards. Set higher expectations. Stop being a fat fuck. Lose the weight, get fit, be jacked, learn to speak and communicate,

look a man in his eye and know how to stand up and shake hands, have a fucking firm shake handshake like all of those things right the world needs more men who are dangerous but with righteous intent i'm not saying be dangerous and reckless go around fucking people up and doing stupid shit be financially dangerous be physically dangerous be spiritually dangerous have a vocabulary that makes you so dangerous that you can out wordsmith anybody and then have righteous intent in other words be a good man and not a coward, not a pussy.
