Is this really what we’ve come down to? Snitching on other people for being outside ... A battle of ego’s controlling what we see on the news. On today’s full length episode, we go in depth about these topics & much more, for our Easter special episode.

Got more cars than diddy. I only weigh 180, but my watch cost 250. What is up, guys? This is Andy Frisella, and you're listening to the show for the realest. Say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness, and delusions of modern society, and welcome to motherfucking reality today is our special easter episode and we are recording this episode on friday april 10th and april 10th is an important day because it happens to be sal's birthday happy birthday i mean i appreciate that happy birthday to myself

they decided to shut the stock market down in honor of me national holiday not bad good friday what are they shut down today yeah what for it's good friday so they shut it down oh really yeah the non-trading day and i was fear of it i was fearful of it too yeah sell off friday man. Best week ever in the stock market. So let's get right into it. You know, we want to provide you guys with some listening pleasure for your Easter because most of you people are going to be alone on your Easter. You're going to be quarantined in your house and you're not going to be doing the normal stuff.

So what we thought we would do is give you something to entertain you for at least an hour or so and talk about some things. The first thing I think I'd like to get into is how does it feel to be old as fuck? Tell you what, man, I was it's interesting because, you know, like you get the older you get, the more perspective you get. And it's funny because you have like these self-reflections where, you know, I go into these deep states of it's like guilty slash gratitude, you know? So like this morning I'm in the gym and I'm walking on treadmill, you know, by myself and I'm just, you know, watching TV and listen and listen to some music. And I, you know, I always think like, why me? You know, like, why did I get chosen to do this, live this life? And then, then you go into this, then I go to this really place of gratitude where it's like, I don't know why me,

I don't know for what, how, what reason, but I'm really glad. And so it makes me really think that, you know what? I've had an unbelievable 39 years i mean dude i'm from college from high school to college to professional sports to business to where we're at now and you think about how awesome of a ride it's been and then you think shit i'm only 39 yeah there's a lot of fucking opportunity i mean just think if we just go to 60 like what is possible and what is capable and then you start really really thinking, oh man, I'm so I'm thankful on one end, like to the extreme and the opportunity to live just another series of unbelievable lives is right in front of you, you know? And so then, so I have an unbelievable amount of gratitude, uh, on today.

Of course I get an, you know, a lot of text messages. I haven text messages i've had quite a few dms as as uh you understand and you know it just makes you feel good and and i definitely feel old i mean i have a fucking patch of gray hairs that i never had before and they're coming in on the sides and you know that ear hair is starting to grow your hair nose hair starting to take over man i got a nose trimmer you're good yeah you got one yeah i got a nose trimmer. Yeah, dude. You got one? Fuck yeah, I got a nose trimmer, bro. I don't even travel without that motherfucker. His shit sprouts in so quick. Explain this to me.

That's my dude. My nose hair grows like motherfucking grass in April. How is that? I don't know. Why is it ear hair and nose hair? I mean, dude, you'll fucking trim them. You look at it the next day. You're like, I could braid that motherfucker.

Bro, that's my unibrow. Is it? Yeah, dude. Every day. I don't know what that's about either, but I't like it but i think that's good laser your nose you know like you want to leave it all natural because it like filters the shit out you know man i don't know i mean i think if i let it grow i would i would have a fucking have like you know like fucking dreadlocks coming out of my nose dude like three times this week in cardio this is not

related but i've literally thought about using our fucking protocol like three times this fucking week like dude i don't know what it is man but when i when i get to the fucking peak of being as far away from my house as i'm going to be on my outdoor workout, that's when all of a sudden I have to shit. Like, real bad. Like, I've got to stop and, like, hold still. Is that why you were limping on the way back? Fucking right, bro.

Yesterday, too. Seriously, I saw it. Yesterday, too. Dude, I had to stop and, like, do the thing where you, like, suck it up in there. Oh, yeah. You guys know what I'm talking about. You got to stand still. If you fucking move, you're going to up in there. Like you guys know what I'm talking about. You're going to stand still. If you fucking move, you're going to shit your pants.

I'm convinced. I told fucking Emily yesterday, because I got my little bag, you know, that I carry every day. You guys probably never seen it, but I carry around like a, what do they call it? Duffel bag. Like a duffel bag, gym bag, and that's like my man purse, okay? I got everything I need in there.

I've got everything i need in there i've got that's right i've got my gun in there i've got my wallet in there i've got my my uh headphones are in there i've got like a jacket in case it's cold i've got my you know i got everything dude like it's like it's like uh uh yeah it's like it's your boy scout bag that's right i got everything i need in there and wet wipes hundred feet of world no dude i don, dude, I don't have the wet wipes in there. But, dude, I thought about putting a roll of toilet paper in there for real. Just wet wipes, bro. The toilet paper Nazis have got me fucking paranoid about this toilet paper shit.

Like, dude, I'm legitimately, like, dude, so what you guys don't know is DJ's part of my personal security team, and they also have security here. So, like, he's around me all the time. A lot. don't know is DJ's part of my personal security team and they also have security here so like he's around me all the time a lot and dude I I want uh like I thought about yesterday I'm like man I wonder if DJ's got a roll of toilet paper in his truck like you know when I was coming back off the trail because he'll park his truck as I go on the trail you know and I go out like a mile I come back and so I'm like man if he had to throw a toy i could like sneak in the woods and fuck you got a couple clean wipes and get back on the road that's one of

the best things about having kids though man is you got wet wipes in every car in every bag in every area of your house because you're used to wiping their nose and their ass yeah shit and i'm telling you man there's something to think about all i've ever had you ever had to break into your kids emergency stash wet wipes i mean I mean, of course, dude. Once you wet wipe your ass, you don't go back. I know that. What's that saying, DJ? Once you what?

Once you eat ramen noodles or something? No, no, no, no. No, I think it's once you jump off the boat, you can't swim. Is that what it is? Dude, I should tell them that joke from earlier. What's that? Which one? The joke from outside.'s that which one joke from outside i forgot

it already dude so listen i'm not saying that all white people die in hot air balloon accidents but only white people that's a fucking fact dude i'm gonna tell you right now dude we did that 23 and me and we got that percentage of black in us you know yeah i'm fucked I'm so thankful, dude, because, like, I got rhythm. And I can do it for real. I got rhythm. Like, I've got. You can appreciate good music?

Yes. I'm immune to all the normal white people nerd shit. Right. And so, like, dude, it's like a cloak of immunity. Like, I'm a white dude, but I don't have all the nerdy shit that comes with the white dude. And it's fucking great. And I can tell you, I know that's true, bro,

because you'll never find me in a hot air balloon. No, never. It'll never fucking happen. Never. And you're not very good in the water either. No, I'm not. Dude, I'm not. You look good.

Bro, I'm not a good... I mean, dude, I'm functional. Yeah. But let me tell you something. When I go from the shallow end to the fucking deep end where I got that grotto in my pool, I use a fucking noodle. I'm safe. Dude, I'm gonna tell you. Bro, you'll be in that poolotto in my pool. Yeah. I use a fucking noodle. Yeah.

I'm safe. Dude, I'm going to tell you. Bro, you'll be in that pool with me this summer, dude. You'll be on the noodle too. I know you will. I guarantee you. Yeah. No, I'm just going to put my feet in, guys.

No, the, dude, you know, what's funny is I started doing those triathlons a while ago and swimming, like, you know, because I was a pretty good athlete growing up, pretty good athlete, you know, played college, played afterwards. And I'm like, well, I'll fucking swim. It ain't fucking that bad. Yeah. I get in a pool the first day, literally from that, from, from the fucking beginning, the end is 25 meters.

And to do a mile is, you know, it's, I don't know. How many meters is a mile? Google that. Dude, I ain't never seen a big dude that's a good swimmer. Oh, no. Like, like I'm talking like, like, you a good swimmer, dude? Nah. No, come on, man.

Joe's a good swimmer. We got Jelly Joe saying he's a good swimmer here. No fucking way. 1,600 meters. 1,600 meters. Okay, so 25 meters. Okay, so I already signed up to do 16. It's a 1.2-mile swim, so it's more than that.

It's like 1,850 to do 1.2. I'm like, I'll sign up and do this. I get in the water the first day. I swim from one end to the other end. And I was like, holy fuck up do this i get in the water the first day i swim from one end to the other end and i had i was like holy fuck dude i'd put off more than i could chew i was fucking breathing hard i was like holy fuck dude what did i put my what did i sign up for i am fucked dude all i try to do is have i could be able to swim from where i walk into my pool over to the grotto because that's where i like to sit there and do the worst and do my reflections the

worst is when i when i got my lifeguard certification, you have to tread water for like two minutes. Two? Oh, wait. We had to do that when we got certified for scuba diving. Yeah, I remember that. Like head above water, no arms. Sal and I got certified for scuba diving together,

and we had to tread water for like 10 minutes. Wasn't it like 10 or 15 minutes or something? I think it was 30. Did you use your arms, though? Yeah, but you couldn't touch the sides or the bottom. Right, right. Well, a lifeguard, you can't use your arms, though? Yeah, but you couldn't touch the sides or the bottom. Right, right. Well, at Lifeguard, you can't use your arms. Just your legs.

Was that in case a shark bites them off? Dude, I have no idea. That's in case you're pulling somebody in, I'm going to imagine. I mean, basically, but it's pretty tough, dude. I'm going to tell you right now, I've had panic attacks in water. I'm going to tell you right now, it's a scary fucking thing. Dude, I had a panic attack in the water. Remember where we got certified in the Bonterra yeah the fucking caves 400 feet deep you jump in the water and you fucking you're you're

on the surface you look down it's perfectly clear you can see the fucking bottom and you think you're like it's like being 400 feet in the air you feel like you're gonna fall it's crazy dude well i remember you know it's funny you have a panic attack so i'm out there this is my first open water swim i never it was a whatever it was like eight tenths of a mile swim something like that and i i remember it's the first time in the open water one of my very first triathlons the water's fucking cold man and i'm out there and it's colder than fuck i wasn't really prepared for that that's what got me starting to take cold showers and i wasn't and i'm sitting there and i'm like i start having a negative nancy brain coming in i'm like man it's cold it's fucking

early should i be doing this fucking horn goes off i start swimming and i get it dude i'm i'm literally a hundred feet into this fucking thing and you're with you know you're with a hundred people in your category guy kicks my goggles off i fucking rear up i'm fucking panicking man i remember being so scared i'm like like, I'm going to quit. Like, I'm going to go to the sides. And I kept thinking, man, my buddies are going to make fun of me so fucking bad. But, dude, the whole swim, I went literally buoy to buoy, 100 feet at a time. And the whole time, every negative thought that could possibly enter your fucking brain was in my brain.

And it was building condo complexes and houses. And it was fucking paying rent. I was thinking, who's gonna who's gonna fucking have sex with my wife who's gonna raise my kids like i was thinking all this shit that you shouldn't think man and i was in the water and i'm like i'm gonna die i had a similar experience you know dj went to summer camp growing up oh yeah and and this camp is pretty awesome right but they you know the whole thing is taking out the inner city kids put them out in the campus out in eureka yeah and you know get them to thing is to take, you know, the inner city kids, put them out in the camp. It's out in Eureka.

And, you know, get them to live away from the city for a little bit. About a month long camp, dude. And we would go camping for one week straight down in, like, by Carbondale. Yep. There's a lake out there called Devil's Kitchen Lake. Oh, yeah. I fished it many times. Man-made lake. Okay. And they just flooded this valley.

Just flooded it. And so we're canoeing on this lake and like oh no it's fine you know so you know you got 30 30 or so black kids in canoes basically i'm gonna paint the picture for you and um they don't tell you that the trees that were in this valley are still there are still there yeah okay and so now you got two overweight black kids in a canoe and we're paddling on this lake and the trees are like sticking up i mean their feet you can see them yeah yeah and if you roll your canoe over it you're gonna get stuck yeah and so of course you know i get fucking stuck because the back's heavy and uh we get stuck and so i'm like all right don't freak out and then the person that's in the front of canoe starts freaking out

next thing you know we're in the water. And I felt something hit my leg. Freaked out. Oh, dude. That's the worst. It was bad. That's the worst. Bad. Horrible.

Dude, you want to hear a grown man fucking scream? I mean, dude, you put me in a fucking ocean and it has something nip on me? Oh. Oh, my God. Dude, so. Corona. Corona. Corona. Is it? take mine with lime yeah dude you know when i'm sitting here thinking about like i i watched this uh news story today and i've seen the same thing come up a couple days in a row uh of the the los angeles mayor putting in a reward system for fucking snitching

on people did you see that i haven't seen it oh yeah dude they set up a hotline where you could snitch on people for violating the uh stay-at-home order okay and they get paid right like what do you think of that dude i think uh well well, I think it is a testament to our bitch-ass society, if I'm being honest. I think it is, too. I think, you know, if I'm a, I mean, listen, I've had to yell at my dad. I've had to yell at our guys. I've had to address, like, if you're going to address the situation, like, and you know somebody's doing it, then fucking call them out. No shit. Paying people to fucking snitch. Like, dude, do you guys understand that that's what used to happen in Nazi Germany?

That's exactly what happened. That's what happened. Like, dude, I'm watching this whole scenario unfold. You know, we've been tolerating the story that the media has done a very shitty job of portraying to be completely honest and we've been tolerating it right like we've been like okay well whatever they say we'll fucking we're gonna wait a couple weeks we're fine with that we'll do that and we're all doing it you know what i mean and let's look at what's happening now you know the death toll was supposed to be millions then it was supposed to be two millions then it was supposed to be two million

then it was supposed to be one million then it was supposed to be 600 then it was supposed to be 200 now yesterday they came out and they said 60,000 okay well in 1718 we lost more than that from the fucking flu but yet we're still shut the fuck down. And nobody's asking why. Why are we still shut down? Why are we still living the way that we lived whenever the fear was that we were going to lose millions of people? Nobody's even asking the question. And if you ask the question, you're some sort of social asshole because you don't care about people who are sick. That's fucking absurd. And, dude, I'm going to be real

and not people aren't going to like this, but dude, I always struggle with how the fuck Hitler was able to do with what he does. If you listen to my podcast for the last five years, I brought this up a number of times. People ask me if I could have a conversation with someone living or dead, I always answer Hitler. And the reason I answer Hitler, you know, especially whenever, you know,

when I say that people are always like, Oh my, you can hear the air gets sucked out of the room. Like I, cause I said it in front of thousands of people and do people get mad when you say that, like, dude,

why Hitler? Why not Jesus? Well, because I want to know how he was able to fucking do what he did because if you could understand how he knew how to do what he did and then you did it with good intentions what could be accomplished right you can't discount the guy's leadership ability charisma he's one of the greatest leaders that ever lived even though i'm talking about not greatest from a moral standpoint i'm talking about most effective leaders a moral standpoint I'm talking about most

effective leaders he got people to do some fucking crazy shit and I was always thinking like damn dude that's I wonder how he did that but now I realize after seeing this it wasn't that hard and that's that's fucking scary because dude I'm gonna promise you right now if we said hey guys we're gonna shut the country down for the next seven days and these greyhound buses are going to come around they're going to pick you up and they're going to take you to a shower and this shower is going to make you immune for the coronavirus how many motherfuckers do you think would do it how many do you think would do it i think a lot i think a lot of people i mean i don't think people listening to this show would do it but i think the fucking i

think there's a huge part of the population that would just do it. And if it's that simple, like then it makes sense. And maybe he wasn't an effective, effective leader that, that I really thought, you know, what he really did was control the narrative, which is happening in America. What he controlled the fucking narrative. And he put out the information he wanted people to hear. He rewarded people for telling on people and he promised them a fucking solution and killed a fucking 11 million motherfuckers i think we're gonna dude that's scary to think of i know i mean i'm processing this in my brain but i'm saying liberals and the fucking far left they'll call you crazy for even bringing that up but you know what how

the fuck do you think it happened it fucking happened and it was 70 years ago it wasn't like it was 200 years ago yeah that was within our dad's lifetime that happened well and so think about that within our dad's lifetime 11 million motherfucking people were killed by using the same methods that are being used right now total manipulation control fear division hate hate well and dude you know americans that are watching this unfold it doesn't matter what you believe this is not a political conversation this is a system conversation and it doesn't matter if you are far left or far right or anywhere in between which encompasses all of us that's dangerous that's a fucking dangerous thing and dude this country needs to wake up and start understanding they're like dude we can't just take what they

tell us you know i see a lot of the mainstream media destroying social media right now and attacking social media. But the truth is if it wasn't for social media, what would we think was going on right now? We'd have no way to know. We would think the world was fucking ending, which some people do. I get that.

But what I'm saying is if we did not have social media and they were putting out the messages that they are, we would have riots. We would have dude i was driving home the other day and i saw a fucking gas station get held up okay not i didn't see it happen but we walked up and there's fucking police report there's police dude people are already desperate what would happen if we didn't have real motherfuckers on the street saying hey uh you know they're doing the right thing right like there's a number of doctors that are coming from new york and half of them are saying holy shit it's a war zone everybody's dying i've never seen anything like it because they get their 15 minutes of attention and they're credible and that's their ego.

Okay. And then we have, and by the way, I had to set one straight yesterday or two days ago when I did my Instagram live, I had one of my friends who's a doctor up in New York, hit me up and say, you're wrong. Every hospital in New York is overrun. They're stacking bodies in freezer trucks, blah, blah, blah. I said, you're lying. blah I said you're lying and I know you're lying because I know people in the government there and I know people who are on the

fucking front lines there and I've talked to them every fucking day for the last 30 fucking days myself okay and I called him out on it and I said now I'm not mad at you for doing that but what you're doing is you are allowing your emotional state to get the best of you and you don't realize that people take what you say because you're a doctor they take it serious and it causes fear panic hysteria anxiety uncertainty and ultimately all negative shit because you're not controlling your emotions and dude you know how like the bubbles the bubbles went on for like 30 minutes and then and i'm like fuck i'm gonna get in this big argument with one of my friends

and then he texts me back he's like you know what you're right it's a few hospitals it's not all the hospitals i typed that before i before i had a chance to really think about what i was saying and dude i fucking respect him for that well that's that's a big thing, check your ego. I get it. That's a grown-ass thing to do. I get it. But you know what the truth is, Sal? All of this that's going on right now, a lot of it has to do with fucking ego.

No, ego's the enemy, right? No, but I'm saying, well, it's also a friend when you need it. Right. But the point is, all of these things that we see going on right now have really, what there really are is people arguing for the information to support what they want to happen that's right instead of i'm right

i'm right i'm right yeah right yeah and so and because and dude because this is an election year and because so many people are you know trump's a polarizing dude right yeah you either really fucking like him or you really don't like him yeah and the people that don't like him it's dude it's fucking absurd to watch right now like it's almost like they want it to keep going and i believe i personally my personal opinion is a lot of them do well i i so switch the gears to the I know that sounds crazy, bro. Not really. That sounds crazy, right? It sounds crazy to say that there are Americans that are in this country that want people to fucking want this to last so that Trump doesn't get reelected.

Does that not sound crazy to you? No, I'm saying no, it doesn't to me. No, I know. But what I'm saying is if you think about yourself as an american and you think about all the people as americans and you think about what we we're all we all have in common we're fucking americans and the fact that we have a percentage of america wishing harm on the fucking economy and people in this country so that their person that they hate doesn't get re-elected is fucking fucked up hey man i agree

that's i mean we're all in this together that's the understanding and but i i do think i and you're starting to see it there's more cars in the streets but dude you notice how do you notice how now they're backtracking all this shit fuck yeah wait the people who fuck first of all motherfuckers you listen and i'm talking to everybody you all know what i said five six weeks ago i called this exactly how it's playing out exactly and i caught so much fucking heat for being greedy being a business guy that doesn't care about people motherfucker i care more about people than you will ever comprehend period i care about this country more than you will ever comprehend period okay i'm thinking of it as a whole and the fucking implications of the economic Period. I care about this country more than you will ever comprehend. Period. Okay?

I'm thinking of it as a whole. And the fucking implications of the economic damage here are right now, today, on Friday, they have reduced the deaths to what a normal pandemic would really be for us. Or a normal flu season. That number is going to continue to go down. Because they're padding that shit too right which fucking fauci and burke's fucking announced on tv and nobody said shit about well you're starting to hear a little bit about it you know what i mean but they're but they're

backtracking backtracking because they're backtracking now and now people and you know all the people they're still saying shit like this well fucking this would have never happened if trump blah blah, blah. You're fucking full of shit. The motherfucker did everything that he could have done. And if you're sitting there, if you're sitting there fucking blaming him for what's going on right now, you are the problem in this country. You're an asshole.

Yeah, you are. That was my post the other day. But Sal, that's because their fucking ego won't allow them to separate their personal feelings from reality. Yeah. And because they can't separate their personal distaste for this man. Okay. They would fucking wish harm on this country.

Well, that's why we got, that's fucking absurd. We got to identify the hole drillers and get them fuck out of the boat. He's going to do it too. Well, no. And I think,

I think that's dude listen we gotta flip flip on the positive side let's take all the negative i mean those people i believe in karma the karma train's gonna roll they're gonna get theirs and i hope they do and i hope that the people you really think deeply about looking at who is treating you as a pawn i know we covered this the other day but you got to really fucking think like okay who am i going to vote for him why am i going to vote for somebody who would want to jeopardize or put me in this situation this is not a right-wing show no no this is a central viewed fucking realist show listen i'm the first person to say trump like he his twitter he's a fucking asshole let me tell you i listen i get it because because you got a big mouth too, right?

Yeah. So I get it. But I'm going to tell you right now, if I was fucking president, I would have a little more discretion about the fucking way that I do shit. And I know all you right-wing friends of mine, you guys think that shit's funny and we all laugh about it and shit, right? But you got to look at it from the other side of you, right? Let's just say, for example, all the people who loved Obama.

They fucking loved Obama. People loved Obama. I did not love Obama. I'm just going to say that straight up. His economic policy is bullshit. Nothing about any of his programs was fucking good. Nothing. Not one thing.

The only thing that was good about Obama is he's a great fucking speaker. And I actually liked listening to him speak. Even now. I like listening to him speak because I'm a fucking speaker myself. And I'm like, damn, dude, this guy's got it. He's slick. So I admire that. But his programs and his policies and all this shit is all fucking total bullshit.

And un-American shit, too. And so, you know, I have a hard time saying, like, I have a hard time coming up with anything that I appreciate about his presidency that I think he did a good job on. I really, I mean, the only other, the only thing that I could say positive is I think that it was cool to have a black president and to have black people represented at the highest level. I thought that was fucking cool. Okay. I can respect that. But that's just my personal feelings. But I can tell you this. If Trump was on the fucking Twitter doing what, if Obama was on Twitter doing what Trump does, I would have fucking vocally hated him so fucking bad.

Oh yeah, I get it. I know. So he brings it on himself by not being the way. He's not conducting himself the way a president typically does. And a politician is. I mean, he's not a politician. Bro, on one hand, I respect it because, dude, I'm the same way. Like, I don't give a fuck.

I don't conduct myself like a fucking CEO. I don't. But I'm still a great CEO. That's the fucking facts of the matter. Like, dude, I'm not. You guys say, oh, well, you think highly of yourself. No, the fucking evidence shows that. If I was shitty, the evidence would show that too, but it doesn't. So I respect that about him, that he's true to himself.

But if I were president, I would be a little more considerate of the people that maybe didn't like me and try to like, hey guys, I'm not the fucking antichrist that you think. Right. You know, I act like, dude, that would be, I think that would be a criticism that he could take and improve. And I think I actually see him doing that now. Well, you're seeing compassion come out of him. Yeah.

I've never seen before, but maybe that's the trick to his sauce. He just got the 51% to love him. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? No, no, no, dude, look. Look, I get it. I'm saying, I totally get it. I'm saying now that he's got that,

it would be nice to see him be a little bit more just cautious about his image. I think so because I think he's doing such a good job and I think a lot of people hate him because of that. And they're not allowing him to see the compassion side. And so I think there needs to be a give on both sides, right? Like the people who are fucking hating on him, hey, stop and ask yourself,

do you really hate him or do you think he's doing a good job? And secondly, you know, him, they kind of need to meet in the middle. Well, his approval rating's going up. So, I mean, I think you guys follow what I'm saying here. Yeah, of course. Like, dude, look. Give and take.

Look, my personal opinion, I think the dude's pretty fucking funny. And, like, he says some funny shit what I'm saying here. Yeah, of course. Like, dude, look. Give and take. Like, look, my personal opinion, I think the dude's pretty fucking funny. And, like, he says some funny shit that I would fucking say. Yeah. But I don't know that I would still be saying that same shit if I was president. And I really think that's what most people's gripe is. When I talk to my liberal friends who are like, I'm only voting Democrat no matter what, which, dude, I'm not like that.

I'm picking the candidate on his programs. Really, for me for me it's on his economic programs that's it okay i'm a business guy i care about business i have massive responsibility to all the people that work in all the companies and so that matters to me a whole lot for a lot of reasons so i vote on that but i think that if i think if we could just see him make a little bit make people a little bit more at ease on that side not pacify them or fucking bend his policies or anything but like just like let him know like hey uh i care about you guys too right you know what i'm saying i'm not the devil that's right and i love dude i love i love his passion for america dude like i feel like we have like i feel like he's a real fucking American.

Well, let's talk about it because that was my point. I think you're starting, and I saw this headline. Kansas, the great state of Kansas, is they're allowing churches to open for Easter Sunday. And I look at that, and I think, dude, that's faith before fear. That's a fucking big deal, man. Bro. That's a big

thought process you know what I fucking saw dude I'll tell you what dude this is gonna come off the wrong way to a lot of people um DJ you saw the fence they put up down there today or yesterday it was cut did you notice it today yeah it was awesome somebody went down and fucking cut it yeah and dude we have so I want to explain to you guys this scenario we have this trail here called the katie trail which is a very famous trail i think it goes all over missouri right yeah and our portion is called grant's trail yeah grant's trail but it goes into the katie i think it leads into katie anyway it's this big fucking network of like park trails all through the state of missouri and uh it's really one of the coolest it's a really cool asset that missouri has a lot of people think missouri is just a bunch of the coolest it's a really cool asset that missouri has a lot of

people think missouri is just a bunch of cows it's actually a really cool place to live um i fucking love it dude people like while you live there i'm like because it's fucking awesome like it's beautiful like they're got all four seasons yeah in one week yeah yeah yeah dude it's not it's you know a million dollar house don't get you 1700 square feet right you know it's fucking it's a nice place to live and uh people you know what i love about missouri too dude i explained this to fucking i was talking to honey on the phone the other day honey honey's my buddy he lives in california um he goes uh we were talking and i'm and you know i've been very vocal about uh you know my views about what's playing out and by the way i've been very vocal about my views, about what's playing out. And by the way, I've been 100% right.

Just going to keep saying that. I'm going to fucking remind everybody of that until the day I fucking die. And you know why? Because of how much heat I took when I posted it. Right. Everybody was saying, dude, that's bullshit. People are fucking, this is serious. This is, yeah, I know it's serious, motherfuckers.

But so is shutting down the fucking economy and what do you think now that we're 40 fucking days into it and people aren't having jobs they're fucking freaking out we got 16 million motherfuckers on unemployment exactly like i said we would have okay fuck dude i'm gonna remind you till we're dead that's the facts but i forgot what i was saying oh i was talking to honey and honey was like you know dude like uh we were talking he's like man he's like you really don't believe anything and i'm like no bro you know what they call fucking missouri they call it the show me state that means you better fucking prove it to me and that's what i love about everybody here

nobody here takes any fucking bullshit like you know what i'm saying yeah like the people of St. Louis and like even all over Missouri, cause I've lived in a couple of different places in Missouri. The people here, they do not take any shit from anybody. Like all my friends in California, when I go out there, they're like, fuck dude. Like you just say it. How I'm like, man, if you go where I'm at, it was fucking everybody's like me. I'm. I'm like, man, if you go where I'm at, everybody's like me. I'm like the normal. Well, and I think there's a lot of sense, too. There's a lot of St. Louis pride, and that's a huge thing. I fucking love St. Louis. I heard a story today from one of my buddies, Tim, Tim the Wood Guy, Tim Schultz.

Oh, yeah, yeah. And he was telling me how he went his first form shirt checking out at Menards. That's the most Missourian thing to do. I know. It sure is. There was like a 65-year-old lady behind the counter. And she's like, first form. And he's like, yeah.

And Tim's like, apparently the lady doesn't work out. She's not into the fitness scene. She's like, I don't know those guys guys but i know they're good for st louis and i love everything that they do for the community and no way yeah that's awesome this morning and it's that's what i love about st louis because they're saying it was pride yeah you know what i mean like we're protecting each other we're in the same boat this is the you know what i noticed that like uh i noticed that when i go other places too like i noticed the lack of it of course like dude when you like because we both get to travel

around a lot of different places i don't think i've ever been a place in the united states where they have that pride well i don't know like pittsburgh has it new orleans new orleans has it well i'll tell you a couple cities have it new york has it new york city but like we have one of those we have one of those cultures here oh for sure well they happen. You know, all the professional baseball players all end up living here. They fucking stay because it's awesome. And they meet St. Louis women and they won't leave. You know what I mean? It's one of those places.

We got some nice women here. Yeah. Yeah. No, but, dude, I think the faith before fear thing, it's a huge sign for America because it's showing them, like, you know what? I'm willing to fucking do. I'm willing to fucking play my cards for faith. I'm going to believe in God is where I'm going to go, and I i'm willing to fucking do i'm willing i'm willing to fucking

play my cards for faith i'm gonna believe in god is where i'm gonna go and i'm gonna go fucking do me dude what else can you do i'm with you like i think easter sunday like i'm gonna do an easter egg hunt i'm not sure by the way sal i'm just gonna say this on sunday you're gonna have trump come out today you're listening to this and i'm gonna say this and i could be wrong and you guys could all laugh at me i don't give a fuck i will bet that he comes out on sunday and announces the fucking whatever he's gonna announce about reopening the economy whether it's fucking we open it on monday tomorrow or we're opening it whenever i think sunday is going to be the day we're going to fucking know give me a pivot point i just see it happening dude but that's a i mean you got to look

like we're we're we need to really deal in the, in the reality of the situation. Like we're giving up family time and I can tell you, man, from having kids. Sal, America's tired of this shit. I'm with you. I could even go. Fuck, I'm tired of it. Dude, I could even go to my girl's OB appointment.

Like my first child. Yeah, that's fucking, dude. It's affecting a lot of stuff. Yeah. And that's offside. That's not even in a hospital, right? Right. Yeah. Right. So, I mean, you know, like it's one of those things that hey man like i'm and i'm down like i get it dude as much as i i will say this though bro like as much as i am pissed off like

because i am dude i'm fucking pissed i'm pissed at the system i'm failing us right now people are taking taking my frustration as i'm trying to make it political no i'm not i'm calling it as i see it when trump fucks up i say trump fucks up okay i'm gonna tell you right now where i think trump's fucked up maybe quit fucking letting fauci make all the fucking calls on his own set up a fucking panel put 10 motherfucking fauci's together but what i think he's actually doing and this is my opinion opinion, people are going to argue with me, I don't give a fuck. You all have opinions, so do I. I think he is legitimately letting this all play out so it shows as a fucking the bullshit that it is, and then he's going to do what he said.

He's going to say, well, I did everything I'm supposed to do as president. I listened to the experts. I listened to the statistics. They all fucked this up, and then they're gonna get hung out to dry why do you think bernie sanders backed out because he knows he can't win because he knows he knows that he that donald trump is doing exactly the fuck he's running the fucking play and he's doing a phenomenal job doing it and he understands that he's fucked did you see that ad that fucking trump put out about fucking biden Did you fucking see it? Holy shit, dude.

Pull that motherfucker and watch it. Well, but let's talk about being tired because it's like, hey, man, at some point in time, I can tell you right now, my work life, the stress, because we're still working. Dude, what is this? I know what you're getting ready to say. What is it? Why is it so much less stressful right now? Dude, I don't know.

My work life is insanely easy. I know. ready to say what what is it why is it so much less stressful right now dude i don't know my work my work life is like insanely easy i know and i'm making all my calls on zoom i'm really proud of our team and i've connected with our customers dude i think that speaks to our team dude i'm with you yeah and i've had like this this at ease piece and i'm gonna tell you right now when i go home dude my kids are fucking pent up i can't they can't see their grandparents and they can't go play how they used to play. And they're not going to school. And I'm sitting there and I'm like, I'm thinking, what the fuck am I doing to my kids? What am I doing?

My dad, dad called me this morning. He's like, dude, listen, I'm, I'm willing. I don't care anymore. Like, I don't see the kids. Like, I want to be around it. And it's like, you know what? I'm, I'm choking my family out right now. No, no, no.

I get off of bad information. Right. You know what I'm saying? And I look not dude, you have Fauci on yesterday saying well yeah um i think we had the you know this is definitely starting i think it's going to be around 60 000 dude that motherfucker's going to be at 30 000 and dude that's with the fucking extra padding they're doing to fuck because dude what you're going to see now is all these scientists try to cover their fucking fuck-ups. Bro, I don't give a fuck.

These people who fucked up that model and who fucked, because, dude, they didn't fuck it up. They lied. They lied to get something to happen, which was they wanted the economy to fucking tank so that Trump could not have a platform to stand on for the election coming up. Period. That's it. And if you think it's about anything else than that you're you're completely fucked up this is exactly what it was supposed to be and dude what's happening now is it's blowing up in their fucking faces because

they over did the fear they overdid the fear so nobody's gonna trust him ever again well but i mean even but look at this like and this is this is the part of stress and i'm talking about like my wife lost her job you know so my house a little tighter yeah i'm saying now she's got to teach my kids well she's not a teacher my kids you know they don't have any outside fucking a way to express your energy so can't go out you know cold day hot day like dude and it's compounding on top of itself okay me personally like and i'm a mentally strong person. That's one of my best skills is you put me in the hottest motherfucking fire. I'm calm, cool, collected.

I'm drinking more than I ever have. I'm stressed out about all this shit. How's the rest of the fucking... So when we start talking about health, how's the mental health picture of the US on hold? Dude, people are going to be fucked up for a while. That's my point. I had a call with my- Dude, think about people after this going to a baseball game.

That ain't fucking happening. First college is not happening. Dude, I think we need to- Dude, I'll be real. I was talking to somebody on the phone this morning. I said this. Dude, somebody needs to put together a fucking freedom movement right now that whenever this shit gets lifted,

we go out and do normal shit because dude, people are going to be so scared. Yeah. A new independence day. Yeah. Like dude, people need to fucking, we need to get over that fear that we're going to like die because they implanted this shit so hard. And bro, I, I think you put somebody posted, there was a, there's a motherfucker in Walmart with fucking those noodles stuck to his head to keep people six feet away from him.

Like, bro, people are going fucking insane. And we're going to have to make a concerted effort moving out of this to instill the regular life back. This stupid fuck on TV telling people they can never shake hands again. Bro, I'm going to tell you right now that ain't fucking happening. Well, but what I'm saying is we as Americans need to organize like whenever the shit we're allowed to like, cause I'm all about like following precautions.

Right. But dude, we're past the point of a precautions being what they were because the, the fucking death toll was supposed to be 2 million. Now it's supposed to be 60, which dude, that's going down by the hour. When do we start laxing them?

Why? When do we start laxing them? It should be right now. No, no, that's my point. And I think that's the Easter Sunday. I think we start progressing out. But the thing is, is to Andrew's point, you got to identify the information that's really being played here.

And you got to really think, okay, how is this affecting me? Both negatively and positively, right? Because there are things that I do value in this situation. I've learned what's important in life. I'll tell you right now, my fucking kids, their school, I've never thought more about fucking how important school is to kids than I do right now. Never.

And appreciating those teachers is something that will always and forever fucking do. I mean, dude, it's taught me a fucking lesson. I don't see how teachers do what they do. It's taught me how important grandparents are. You know, like my family to the kids. So that just for two hours at a time, two hours so I can send them down to my dad's house

and they can have fun. How much my mom and dad, I just drive the kids by. And it made me, so from a positive standpoint, it's really put me in check. Like, what's important in life? And fuck, man, I need to be really thankful for that shit. Secondarily, like,

okay, what's the repercussions of us, I don't want to say following the rules because we're following the motherfucking rules. I want to get that clear. Like, we have not laxed them up here. I have not. I play my role in society. Listen, bro,

we know what we're doing. We've done everything fucking right, just as if it was the most important thing ever. And anybody who fucking wants to challenge that because we question it is a fucking sheep. Yeah. So you don't need to explain it anymore. We fucking did everything right. We did it the first day. Still continuing.

And we continue to do it. And you know what? If anybody has a problem with that, eat shit. Yeah. Well, I'm fucking proud of that. Just because we have a fucking opinion about something doesn't mean we're not following the precautions. You know, that's the problem with society right now, too, is we have a lot of people just shaming people. Like, if you say one thing, dude, this is all that fucking agenda.

It's all part of it you know like dude the the the anti-trumper population they have a mob mentality about them right and it's if you say something that doesn't go along with our guidelines and what you know whoopi goldberg says on the fucking view or whatever, then you're a fucking piece of shit and you're a capitalist. Bro, I saw fucking- Well, what's wrong with being a capitalist? Nothing. But my point is, it's like, dude, we're seeing like wealth shaming now.

Wealth shaming. Now, because people are fucking down, we're going to shame all the wealthy people. You need to go sell all your- Motherfucker, who do you think is going to bring the jobs back? Who do you think is going to build the companies to give these fucking people jobs? Dude, you might want to think about what you say because I'm going to be real with you.

What do we do whenever we hire someone new? We go on their social media and we read their fucking shit. Step one. That's right. And so, dude, I think if you want a job in america you should probably think about the fuck you say on your social media because guess what those wealthy people that you fucking have all this shit to say about they're the ones gonna sign your motherfucking checks well and i think dude there's a great deal of not i mean look at our

older brother what about him he ain't wealthy no he's not you know i'm saying but like he's fearful of his fucking job yeah he is i'm saying and he wants to go like he's fucking you know yeah he wants to stay online and keep his you know their companies doing well and he wants you know like so there's a there's a i don't want to say minority i think there's a lot of people who feel how we feel so i think it's okay no listen they fucking feel the same way it's just they don't want to say it because whoopi goldberg's got everybody fucking in a frenzy about fucking everything. So here's the message. Whoopi Goldberg is like, I'm not saying Whoopi in general.

She's probably a nice lady. I don't fucking know. Maybe not. She's probably not. But what I'm saying is, you guys understand what I'm saying. Like, we have a few of these fucking flag-w waving fucking mob leaders that sick the whole fucking mindless zombie crew on anything they don't agree with like when fucking peloton made a fucking ad that literally like encouraged people to get in better shape then you're a fucking sexist xenophobic

like the fuck are you talking about this country has gone fucking insane with this fucking mentality of like this mob mentality. It's fucking insane. Well, it's not. You know what, dude? I don't give a fuck anymore. Like for a while, I tried to think. I'm like, well, if I say this, you know, people are going to fucking. You know what?

Fuck you. I don't care what you fucking think. You know what I'm saying? I show up here. You show up here. You guys show up here every fucking day and you do everything that you fucking think you know i'm saying i show up here you show up here you guys show up here every fucking day and you do everything that you fucking can to build a great life not just for you but for every fucking person around you and if we say some shit that you think is offensive once in a while tough shit i don't like no most of the shit you fucking say that's the truth well and i mean you

got it you got you but yeah no of course just. Just to put this in context, Anders keeps pointing at me. I'm like, man, what the fuck did I do? No, dude, I'm just sick of it. I feel like we got to walk on eggshells with everything we fucking say. Well, but you do. Bro, you and I talk about this all the time. Dude, DJ and I talk about this all the time. We spend fucking 12 hours a day together.

He's a fucking black man. I'm a fucking white man. Other than that, we're kind of similar we're both fucking fat we're both fucking athletic we're both super charming both can't swim looking neither one of us can swim bro we're fucking both my pickup trucks we're like the same dude with different color skin and like grew up in totally different areas yeah you know what i'm saying but the thought process is the same but dude we talk about it like him and i tell jokes we fucking joke around with each other and we're like man we couldn't fucking say that joke we said that joke online people fucking freak

out why is that why can't we be friends well i mean listen censorship is real and sensitivity is real but you know what i've learned is i mean this is the truth though you talk about mentally being mentally strong is like this is how i feel i really don't give a fuck if you don't like it that's true and i don't have to be there's two two ways to handle like i i don't it's not that i'm not sensitive or not understanding of your opinion meaning not you i know meaning whomever's opinion it's just that don't come at me for mine and i won't come at you that's. That's exactly right. Like, dude, I cannot. I like black trucks. You like white trucks?

Yeah. Well, you're an asshole. Yeah. Why? Because I like a black truck? Dude, that's what I'm saying. People are so fucking sheep now that they can't even fucking delineate or understand like, hey, we don't have to all say the same exact shit to be friends. Right. Imagine that. You know what? We also don't have to all say the same exact shit to be friends right and you know that you

know what we also don't have to do we also don't have to look the same and you know what some of you can have a vagina and some of you can have a wiener and we could still be friends and you could decide if you like vaginas or if you like wieners and guess what we can still be friends like dude the fact that the fucking humor in society has been washed out by this pc shit chapelle's a genius dude it fucks pisses me off so bad and dude if you want to really point at what's going on this is pc culture fucking with america because a lot of people right now won't speak up because they don't want to be judged as insensitive or immoral or, you know, because dude, we have two kinds of casualties here.

Not fucking one. There's people getting sick and dying. That's terrible. Dude, not only are they dying like our friend's father, he died alone. No family, no fucking people around, no friends, no burial. That's fucking bad, dude. Okay? Imagine dad dying alone in the hospital and us not being able to say anything.

I know. I know. So that's a reality, and it needs to be respected. There's another reality of this there's people who are losing their livelihoods that they worked 5 10 15 20 fucking years to build 30 years to build people who work hard who come into work every day and do a good job are being told they can't do it and they're sitting at home depending now on this fucking check to come through, which really ain't going to do shit. You know, dude, this shit needs to get turned on.

It needs to get fucking turned on now. Well, so practical lesson. But I'm saying, but my point here, though, bro, before you get into that, is like, dude, we as American people need to stop being fucking so sheepish. All of us. Eyes up. That's right. Like, dude.

Head up, eyes open. Yeah, and you know what? It's okay to say how you feel. It's okay. You know what I think is funny, dude? People give me all that heat about body positivity, right? They're like, oh, dude, you fucking hate fat people. No, motherfucker.

I used to be fat, and I know how miserable I was. I also knew how healthy I was. I was 350 fucking pounds. And yet every time I say this shit people are like well you just you're just a you you know that's just because you got in shape now you fucking judge fat people no I judged my fat people when I was fat too I knew what what it was it was fucking weakness it was choice it was incontrollable urges that I had to conquer mentally and I had to go through that and I went through it a bunch of times in my life and you have to and so have you and so dude and so have you fucking four out of the five

motherfuckers in this room have dealt with it so my point here is but you know i mean well who's dying from this shit now fucking fat people yeah that's i mean listen it's a reality but i think the lesson you know what i'm saying no i get, dude. So you try to argue that you shouldn't be fat because it fucks your life up in all different kinds of ways. Yet, if you say that, you're a fucking monster. You're racist, dude. Yeah, you're racist against fat people. I mean, dude, racist is the fucking – Dude, honestly, I said this earlier to you, Andy, dude. I think, honestly, the percentage of people who feel they have a genuine reason to be offended, I think is really low.

Yeah. It's just the fear, that umbrella that goes over it. I think the amount of people that really don't give a shit about what people say is huge. Well, you and I when you're around all, like if you're a black man and you believe a certain way and you're around an entirely group of black people and you say certain things, they fucking like, they get mad. You get what I'm saying? Because there's, but dude, it's the same thing.

I'm supposed to believe what they believe. That's right, but that's not just black people. That's every segment of society. We all have our little segments. And dude, if we ever want America to be what America could fucking be, we got to let go of that shit. And we got to be okay talking about our opinions and having discussions with people that are not a confrontation.

So I'll give you an example. And the lesson, because I think it's important that, you know, you're probably, I would imagine that you're listening to the show and it's probably got you pissed off. It's definitely got you thinking. And, you know, the lesson is it's okay probably got you pissed off. It's got definitely got you thinking. And you know, the lesson is it's, it's okay to have a fucking opinion.

And I'm going to tell you, like, if you want to earn the respect of your peers, voice your opinion, but understand that their opinion might not be the same as yours. And you can't get fucking pissed off at that. And I'm going to give you a live example. My wife's boss.

Okay. Yeah. He is an MD. He's a top facial plaques, plastic surgery. He's a great friend of mine. He's a good fucking dude. He's a stud. He's a top facial plastic surgeon. He's a great friend of mine. He's a good fucking dude. Yeah, he's a stud.

He's a stud. His name's Mike Nyack. He is an epidemiology major. Okay, so him and I, last Saturday night or two Saturday nights ago, I was drunk as a motherfucker on Zoom with him. And I'm asking, and I'm drilling him. And I'm drunk, and I'm like, Mike, you're playing president. Like, what do you fucking do?

Like, because I'm on the economic side, right? And he's on the medical side. And he went to school with these people who were, you know, doing all this stuff. He trained half those motherfuckers. All right, dude. Okay. And he is an entrepreneur of entrepreneurs. Yeah, for you guys who are listening, this dude is a fucking boss.

He's a great guy. Yeah. And we fucking could not have had more different opinions. So much so that the argument the next morning because i was drunk i had like a guilty conscious you know what i'm saying like you went too hard like i went too hard and you know i texted i called him the next day and he's like sal i love it man yeah he's like you know you can't offend me in that sense those are your beliefs these are my beliefs yeah he's like i you know who knows who's right you know

what i'm saying he's like hey i hope i hope i'm not right yeah you know and he's like when we go back i mean his hit and his play you understand like his financial business because they work on the nose and in the face i mean he might be out of work for five months you know it's digging him hard and he's got to take his stance and guess what i take my fucking stance and guess what we're great fucking friends everything's great fucking friends and you know what i didn't fucking like a thing that he fucking said not a motherfucking and he probably woke up the next day saying sal's an asshole you know but i still love him i don't like the shit most people say and that's okay nor do i really care to hear what they have to say but you know what

i listen and i think and i'm and if i don't you know who I pay attention to, dude, I don't, and this is something that I think if you guys want your opinion to be heard, um, this is how you do it. You know, when you, when you politely, uh, first of all, if someone says something on their Instagram page, that's not an invitation to fucking argue. Right. If you don't fucking like it, guess what? Keep scrolling, keep scrolling, keep scrolling keep scrolling keep scrolling motherfucker unfollow yeah or right but like dude these people they're so attention starved

like i get this shit all the time these people who like want to disagree with me just to be the guy who disagrees with andy oh yeah right and they're and they'll start they'll start with this fucking statement no everyone else just kisses your ass so i'm going to be the one that tells you the truth motherfucker i tell myself the truth that's why that's why i am where i am if you didn't fucking figure it out but that's real again the lesson you know you need to get back to to understanding that but what i'm saying dude i'm going to finish that yeah is that if you want people to fucking hear you say it in a productive way say hey dude you know what i understand your perspective on here but here's my perspective and you know i you know maybe just

something to think about right listen i had i have a great i've got another example of this so jason lee who we know he's a star in orville the show on nbc i went to high school with him went to high school black guy right lives in la yeah. Yeah. We got in one of these little battles on Instagram. Recently? No, no, like three or four years ago. I remember that. I fucking called him. You know what I'm saying?

Like a grown ass man. Hey, let's get on the phone and talk. Hey man, like, you know. It's funny how that works out when you get on the phone, isn't it? Well, and it's an amazing thing, right? Like the whole Instagram thing. It's just a, dude, it's. Keyboard warriors.

Yeah. No, bro. But he's a great guy. No, the reason for that is dude that's because of what i said a couple weeks ago of the breakdown of communication and fucking society dude we used to have two options you could fucking see well actually we used to have one option you could see someone that's right then we went to two options now you could send someone a memo or a letter then we invented the telephone

and then for a long time that was all you fucking had right then in the in the 90s we started to get these other forms of technology or the 80s we had fax machine right you could fax shit that made a little faster than the mail then uh we we had we had the invitation or uh email uh you know instant messenger right okay and then we went into okay. And then we went into instant messenger. Then we went into social media. Text messaging. Right, text messaging and all these things. And everything keeps getting shorter and shorter and shorter and shorter and shorter

to where now you can literally double tap someone's message and it fucking hearts it. And that's your message back, right? So, dude, if you think about the breakdown of communication, I'm going to tell you where it changed. Where it changed was when fucking Facebook put the fucking likability on people's comments because now, instead of having a discussion, it's all about making the comment that is going to get the most support

from the fucking mob. So everything's become an argument now instead of a productive conversation. Well, and it's a, you know what I'm saying? So like, instead of like you writing a post and saying your beliefs and me saying, yeah, Sal, um, you know, I don't, I don't fucking know if I believe in that. You know, I, I get instead of me doing that, right. Cause that ain't going to get nobody to like to comment. What I'm going to say is you're a fucking dumbass, stupid motherfucker.

I can't believe you got as far as you have. You got, you know, and then that's going to get like. Now you got the reaction. Yeah. Right. Yeah. But dude, that's that's we're dealing with literal like. Not even high school.

It's like grade school type behavior from grown adults yeah but look at the root i know the root the root comes back to ego i know it's fucking understanding like oh i'm right or oh i'm gonna prove them wrong so people like my post and it's like it's because they tie their validation of a relevant individual to the number of fucking likes they get there's also there's no consequences with it either, right? Like, I can say whatever I want. There's no real consequences because I could be on the other side of the state. That's why 99% of the shit that's said on the internet would not be repeated in someone's

fucking face. No, absolutely not. Back in the old days when you had to go deliver that message man to man. You didn't do it because you thought it was a risk. I got the like button for you. Hey, you know, Jim's a big motherfucker. Oh, yeah, right, right. Hey, Sal.

Hey, man, can we have a minute to talk? Like, I got something to talk to you about. That's how shit used to be resolved. You know why? Because if you went the other way and did what these fuckers do online now, you got fucking your teeth knocked out. And, dude, I'm going to argue this, and people are going to think I'm fucking crazy. I don't give a shit. There ain't enough ass beatings going around. That's the

truth. There's not enough ass beatings. Who would argue that? Because, dude, they're going to say, well, Frisella's out there advocating physical violence. You know what? You're fucking right I am. Well, like the guy who hit the cop who was arresting the guy for larceny? That guy should get his dick cut off. Who said it with toenail clippers?

Me. I cut that motherfucker's balls it with toenail clippers? Me. That was your toenail clippers? I'll cut that motherfucker's balls off with toenail clippers. I mean, those are our people trying to protect our fucking society. Dude, but that's how far this bullshit culture has gone. You have people doing shit like that so they can get fucking views on the internet. Fuck them. Dude, that motherfucker should go to jail for 30 fucking years.

I agree. 30 years. No parole. And they should make a poster and say, hey, you do this to this. Yeah. Dude, we got a cop in New York City fucking taking care of a

woman who's sitting on the fucking ground and this guy walks behind him and starts just beating the shit out of the cop. Like, for no reason. Dude, I don't give a fuck what you think of cops.

If you do that shit, you should go to prison for 30 fucking years. I hope that he got the concrete massage. Bro. I'm sure he got some good customer service. I would have squished that kid's brains out his fucking nose. That's racist.

That is fucking racist. So happy Easter. Yeah. So let's for real switch gears here and talk about the good things that have come of this. Because I do really think there's some amazing things that have come of this time. None of which have to do with watching Netflix and sleeping in and all this shit that the self-care people are trying to push down people's throat. So let's talk about maybe some of the perspectives that we all you know have had that we think are good because i've had a bunch i'll let you start yeah i mean for me it's actually the

positivities in all areas of my life you know it's made me extremely proud of of our business um the characters who work inside our business you because you get to see a lot of people's characters and in times of stress um but our system that we've built, you know, it's made me feel good at all the hard work that we've put in over the last 10 years. And so that the professional side, I've seen a lot of great things come. It's taught me some new skills, zooming, and it's made me chase down some rabbit holes on how to better that side of our business. And I found some great solutions. From a personal standpoint, you know, I touched on earlier in the show, you know, just how, what is really, truly important of things that I did not value before, you know, the teachers in my life,

the support system that I'm fortunate to have, um, the, the people that I go to work with every day, seeing them, I miss seeing them, you know, and I look at that and it makes me really think there's a lot of gratitude that, that I need to have for my life because my life's very fast and I, and I, and I really don't look at those things on a daily basis and I should. And for me, you know, it's really, uh, personally, it's allowed me to, to kind of look at myself, you know, and, and I don't look at myself often because I'm so busy worried about everybody else. That's, but that's, I love doing that. about everybody else. But I love doing that. I love helping people.

I love being out there. So I got a lot of reflection time down in my gym just thinking. So from a positive standpoint, there's a lot of good that's come out of the situation. There's a lot of stress, a lot of bullshit. But I'm not a negative Nancy guy. I'm always like, hey like hey where's the sunshine and i always swim to the sunshine i've always been that way that's why i try to find a good in every situation that's shit hits the fan i try to look for the sunshine so you would say it helped you get more personally centered yeah i think there's a and even financially right because it opened your eyes like all right

it's a test like how sound am i what's what's your personal what do you what a fucking sound well i know but i mean what do you look like like how's it you know what i'm saying well dude you know your wife my my wife's you know people don't know this but my wife's extremely successful and she does a great thing and you lose her fucking you lose one income coming into your house it hurts anybody yeah well mentally physically emotionally you know like dude the uncertainty is what's really fucking hard. That's it. So I would say, you know, I try to find the positive.

And even though in a shit storm, you know what? God is good. My life is fucking beautiful. I've been blessed with a lot of amazing people. I have an unbelievable story that when I sit back and reflect on it, it makes me extremely proud of all of the struggle that I've had and the decisions and everything that we've gone through. I look at it as I'm thankful.

I'm thankful for who I am. I'm thankful for the childhood I had, my parents, us. We've done a lot of stupid shit in our lives, but we've done a lot of good things too. Dude, we've done a lot of stupid shit in our lives, but we've done a lot of good things too. Dude, we've done a fucking, we've had a run. Yeah. I'll just say that.

On both sides. Yeah. No, I mean, I'm just saying like, if we really, for real, and everybody thinks this, right? Because it's their ego again. But if we for real had a movie about our lives from the time we were fucking kids to now that motherfucker wins some kind of an award for real i would watch it what do you yeah you would yeah what do you think bro i you know one

of my my great mentors that i've had in my life he told me something he's like you know sometimes in life you're gonna have to eat a shit sandwich yeah so now i take mine with extra fucking cheese yeah you know i'm saying like y'all look forward like you gotta look at the good opportunities Sometimes in life, you're going to have to eat a shit sandwich. Yeah. So now I take mine with extra fucking cheese. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, you got to look forward. You got to look at the good opportunities, the good things that come from this. Like, I took this as a moment of reflection in my life where, hey, you know, I don't make the best money, right? I don't have fucking a mansion and shit.

So I need to relook at how I think about money. Right. And make sure that I'm keeping myself in situations to be okay. My fiance just got furloughed today. Starting today. You know what I'm saying? So it's going to change some stuff. One of the things I'm more happy about is the fact that I'm coming out of this with a whole new appreciation just for life. I feel like as

Americans, for sure, we take a lot of shit for granted. Whether it's going to the movies or going to your favorite restaurant, we take a lot of stuff for granted. So I'm having this whole newfound appreciation for just the simple things, whether it's going to the park or whatever it is. And then lastly, dude, my mom and fiance, for anybody out there that's complaining, like, oh, I don't have enough time to spend with my people that I love. Well, Merry fucking Christmas. You know what I'm saying?

Like, you got me 24 hours a day now. So, I mean, I think it's awesome, dude. Like you said, dude, it's all about looking at the positives. What can I pull from this? What can I get better better at and i'm just trying to do that and keep saying and keep it moving yeah so i mean it's been awesome actually hasn't been that bad for me yeah man you know um i so i kind of think of my life in three areas, right? Like basically like business, uh, personal and then my fitness and personal. I think of like my spirituality and all that, it goes in there. So like, that's how I kind of look at my life. Just so you guys know, I kind of separate into

three, three areas. So I'm just going to address it like that. A business standpoint, dude, I think this has created one of the biggest opportunities that's ever existed for so many entrepreneurs. And if they can just hang on and fight through this, dude, this is going to be the time when a lot of people look back and they say, fuck, dude, that's what made me. That made my company. It made me me and it's going to teach a lot of valuable lessons you know a lot of people like you said who are not as responsible financially because we had such a good economy for so long you know that now they realize okay well i've got to make some changes i should have at least a few months of money saved up sure you know so we're going to see some differences there i

think that's great because that's what we should have anyway. Um, and you know, people will say, well, you can't do this on this much money. Yeah, you can, you gotta live cheaper. That's how you do it. All right. Um, so I think that's a huge positive. Uh, I think, you know, I'm not gonna talk about any of the negatives. I'm just talking only the positives, uh, our business. I'm so fucking proud of our team. I mean, we have literally in every company that we're involved in and that I'm involved in, the teams are just fucking ridiculous. Like it's absurd how good they are. And, uh, and I'm not saying that to puff anybody's shit up. Like, like you said, you could tell a lot about the character of people in times of uncertainty and stress and dude, everybody here has stepped the fuck up.

And that's amazing. That's cool to see. And dude, like we've talked about and said maybe a hundred times in the last month, I've never been more proud to be a part of what we have going on here. And literally in all the companies, the quality of the people is just next level. And I knew that ahead of time. Right. But like now I know it, know it. Uh, so like business, you know, I'm, I'm excited about the future of business. Um, I'm excited about that. Uh, fitness wise, I've been on 75 hard. I literally started 75 hard

2020 on March 9th, which was my plan anyway, which is fucking crazy because like this shit started really happening that day. And dude, I've been in the best mental state that I've been in, in literally years, even better than I was last year during 75 hard when I did it the first time. Um, and I, I really, I don't know if it's because I'm taking extra pride that everybody else is losing their fucking mind like you know I'm saying I'm like take you know you take pride in that like all right while everybody else is flaking out I'm fucking strong I like that my you know I'm in better shape at this weight than I've ever been in my life by a lot. You look good.

Yeah, thanks, bro. That's just my gym lighting. You look good. It's a false ego. You look good, brother. Hey, all right now. DJ's in the back of the boat. Andrew's in the front of the boat.

You know what I'm saying? The big sexy chocolate man over there. There we go. So, like, dude, we, you know, I feel good, you know. So, fitness-wise, it's all good. I love that. And when I say fitness, I mean mental fitness too. I mean, I'm in the best fucking spot mentally I could ever be in. By the way, if I get suicide, if I commit suicide for anything,

I just want to let everybody know. If for some reason suicide happens, I didn't fucking do it. I'm in a good spot. I swear. All right? So those two areas, that's how I feel. Those are the good things. The personal area, that's been really cool for me as well, I think.

You know, with as much stress and anxiety as I've had, because a lot of my friends who are entrepreneurs, you know, they're losing right now. And it's hard because they're in that phase of business that's, you know, they're losing right now. And it's hard because they're in that phase of business that's, you know, 10 years behind where we are, where they're, you know, dude, they don't have fucking any resources. They don't have any capital. They don't have the relationships. And dude, some of these places are just like, you know, the restaurant guys, they're just fucking shut down. Like, you know, gyms shut down. You know, it's, it's, um, it's been a challenging time for me, uh, not for me, but to listen to them and try to work through their faults. Um, uh,

there are difficulties that they're having. And so that's been hard, but I think rewarding because I'm helping a lot of people see how to, how to grow, right? How to pivot and how to develop new skills. And like I said, when this first started happening, you know, when these times happen, our job is to adapt and then learn the new skills and then go to battle when this is over with those new skills. And I see a lot of guys doing that

and that's really fucking cool. You know, personally, it has brought me closer to people that maybe I wasn't as close with before, namely like your kids. I think that's cool. Like, dude, because Enzo sees me every day now, which he didn't before. Because, like, dude, I go months without seeing Enzo sometimes. Now he sees me every day because I'm at your house trading every day and you know it's awesome to see we're all we're all quarantined together like that's

what people don't understand like well why are you at his house well because we're an essential business the way it works we're kind of quarantined as a herd we we can work here and and we obey the limits and then we go home and then come back here and, and that's it. No contact with other people. It stays in a circle. That's right. So everybody in our circle is in our circle, so I can go to his house and see his kids and shit. But even our next, like our building next to us,

like we don't see those people. Yeah, that's right. It's a different quarantine group. That's right. When they're not allowed over here. Yeah, they're in their own little herd over there. And I switch them through ABC groups, so they don't cross see anybody.

But what's cool is is uh like dude like personally it's been really cool you know when i go over there in the morning and he's most of the time he's outside at least when i'm leaving or when i'm getting there and dude he just gets so excited to see me it's awesome the girls are still like who the fuck is this guy yeah but enzo's like oh go andrew and he dude he runs like he runs over to me as fast as he could feeling in it it's pretty cool dude um so that's been a huge plus for me uh you know and then my relationship with god you know i i think i've come to peace um this has caused me to come to peace with a lot of things uh namely like my own mortality right Right. Cause like, dude, I have heart

issues too. Like people don't, a lot of people don't know that. Um, I've had, I have to be very careful with what I'm exposed to and what I'm around and what I put in my body. And, um, you know, the fact that this is attacking people with those issues, that's made me be like, well, you know, and this was before when I was buying into all they were saying a hundred percent, um, you know, it's made me think like, well, fuck dude, if you get this, you could get really sick, like real sick. And, and, and that's made me say, well, all right. And, and, you know, like when I was in 2011, I had, uh, that when they first, when I had like that, that issue where they thought I had a tumor for a couple of weeks a couple weeks um it ended up being a cyst in my brain pineal cyst uh i thought i was gonna die

for two weeks so what what happened was is just so you guys know the story is i i was going through a very tough time personally with my depression i didn't really know that that's what it was and it was causing physical pain uh in my head to where my neck and my head and my eyes couldn't open and we went and got a cat scan and they thought that this cyst was what was causing it but they they thought it was a tumor at first i got misdiagnosed and and i don't even know how the fuck they did this but like for two weeks dude i didn't tell anybody and i'm like fuck dude my life's over like and nobody knew like think about that think if you knew in your heart you got some news from your doctor but you hadn't told nobody like it's fucking fucking suck dude yeah i can imagine that

and so when that i can remember when that happened how shitty i felt about what i had done my life um like i automatically had that regret that you don't want to have where I'm like, fuck, dude. This is all I'm going to stand for. Nobody's going to give a fuck about me. Blah, blah, blah. Nobody's even going to care. Like, I wasted my whole life trying to grow this shitty ass

because at the time, dude, we fucking weren't making any money at all. We sucked. And I'm like, dude, I wasted my whole life trying to build this shitty business. I'm a fucking loser. I don't accomplish shit. You know, and I waste my whole life trying to build a shitty business? I'm, I'm fucking loser. I don't accomplish shit. I, you know, and I wasted my whole life and I, you know, like all the shit that you're afraid of, like was real for me for a couple of weeks. And, uh, and then when I found out it was, was not a big deal, like, yeah, obviously I felt better, but like this, this period has been the only time that I've had to literally the only other time it's even been kind

of close to that where I've had to literally say like, well, dude, this, this could fuck you up like for real. And how do you feel about that? And ask myself those questions. And I will tell you that the, the, the difference between how I felt then and how I feel now about my life is completely different. Like I felt so angry last time that I thought this, I thought that might be the end of my life. And this time I was like, well, dude, you know what? You've done some pretty significant things. You've helped a lot of people.

You've served a lot of people. A lot of people are better off because of what you've done in the last however many years. And dude, it made me feel peace. Like I feel at peace. Peace is a comfortable place. And like, dude, I peace is a comfortable place and like dude i'm rarely a peace guy like i i really kind of try to push that out because i feel like it leads to complacency

but the truth is is i don't think that it does i think you can have peace and still not fall into being complacent because i'm still as driven as i want to be like i'm still coming in every day like a fucking psycho trying to win but it's just a different feeling now. It's not like, it's not like a, there's not anxiety behind it. If that makes sense or consistency. Yeah, basically, you know, and, and dude, I've, I've looked, that's, I think out of all the things I've learned, that's the most powerful thing I learned for myself was I don't have to be miserable to be fucking hungry. I don't have to be angry to be hungry. I don't have to be, you know.

That's deep, dude. You get what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. And that's been a cool realization because like you said, dude, I started asking myself, I'm like, why is this the hardest time? But it's like I don't feel any stress. And I think that's for everybody out there, especially in the entrepreneur world. You know, this is a business podcast primarily. Well, it's business slash total shit talking slash total useless information slash making

fun of each other slash inappropriate jokes. That's what we're dealing with. But, you know, I think a lot of business owners who have, like, dude, you know that pressure that we all feel, like me, you, and Jason and Chris, like the guys who actually have to feel the pressure. Yeah, like those, I think this situation, it's almost like, like they gave us like a hundred pound weight to carry for a month and then you get to put the weight down and now you're like, oh, well, fuck dude, this ain't really that bad.

And so I am excited for that because I think a lot of people, I think this has been so stressful and so hard and so uncertain for people that whenever that certainty returns, which it will, no matter what Dr. Fuckface says on the internet, it will come back. People are going to shake hands. They're going to fucking hug. They're going to go to baseball games, and we're going to have America back. And when that happens, it's going to make people in general a lot happier because they're not carrying this uncertainty.

And a lot of these people who, you know, think they're depressed or think they have mental health issues in a normal, they're going to be miraculously cured. You get what I'm saying? Because they're like, holy fuck, dude, this is actually pretty good. And I would like on Easter to say, remember that. Remember this. Remember what's going on right now so that whenever we get in to the next however many years of normalcy, which are coming really soon, we don't take what happened here for granted,

and we forget and get back into our old routine. You get what I'm saying? Oh yeah. That's something that I think people should really try to hang on to and try to hang on to that because if you can hang on to that, you'll have so much gratitude for everything else that we had, you know, fucking six weeks ago and all this nonsense that they constantly try and pump into our ears and our eyes about, you know, these problems, maybe we'll realize they're not that big of a fucking deal.

Right. And we can live happier and we can live healthier and we can live more fulfilled with less stress. That's what I'm going to do. I'm doing that. And it's, I can already feel it. I could feel it, you know, I could feel it inside me. So, you know, maybe today on Easter, you know, take a minute and think about what are the things that you, that you learned from this and how are they going to make you better in the future? Because

the only way this isn't going to benefit us is if we don't remember the lessons that it taught us. And I think that's, you know, something that you guys today on Easter, you know, it's very important day for a lot of people listening. You know, I know it's not everybody, not everybody observes Easter and that's fine, but we do. And, uh, on this day, I think it's a good idea to do those reflections. Maybe just take five minutes, 10 minutes and think about it. So yeah. Happy Easter. Yeah.
