Episode Date: November 24, 2022

In today's episode, Andy talks about the importance of continuously celebrating traditional American holidays, why you should be thankful for the bad times, and the opportunity you have to make a massive impact in history this Thanksgiving.

What is up guys, it's Andy Priscilla, this is the show for the realest, say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness, and delusions of modern society, and welcome to motherfucking reality. Guys, guess what? It's Thanksgiving. That means we're supposed to be thankful. And I wanted to record a short message. I won't take much of your time today because I want you to spend it with your family. But I wanted to say thank you. I don't say thank you enough for all that you guys do for us. You guys share the show, you help us grow, and most importantly, you go out and live the values that we talk about, about being a proud, contributing American citizen of this country. And if you're not American,

I'm thankful for you as well. But I wanted to talk about something I think is very important. You know, for the last few decades, it's become the popular thing to shame people that celebrate certain holidays here in America. And a lot of people are trying to remove traditional customs and holidays that we have here because they're trying to remove our identity as a nation. And I wanted to remind you that it is 100% okay to be very proud and very loud about Thanksgiving. And not only is it okay, it's very important. It's important that you celebrate Thanksgiving. It's important that you celebrate holidays that mean something to you and your family. It's important that we say Merry Christmas here in America and not Happy Holidays. It's important that we

celebrate the 4th of July. It's important that we have our own identity and our own culture here in America. And it's important that you make that known to everybody that you know. And so when we think about what we're thankful for and we think about what we're proud of, I want you to think about what you're contributing to this great country every single day, how you live, how you speak, how you celebrate. And most importantly, I want you to take some time and think about everything that you actually are thankful for. You should be thankful for not only your wins,

not only your big victories, not only your family and your friends, but also your losses. Because from our losses and from our frustrations and from our hardships, we gain if we have the right perspective. One of the most thankful things in my life is the fact that it's never been easy. It's never been easy for me. It may look easy to some of you, and I do my best to communicate that it never has been easy, but I can tell you the reason I'm so thankful for that is because everything that I've ever learned, everything that I've ever gained, everything that I've ever produced has come from the hard times. Okay. So if you're going through a hard time this Thanksgiving, realize

that it's there to teach you something. It's there to contribute to you. And don't get caught up in this idea that you don't have anything to be thankful for and that your life sucks. That's total bullshit. And you know, it's bullshit. And I know it's bullshit. And so on this Thanksgiving, take a minute, take a day to be thankful, not only for your family, your wins, your successes, the way your life is going, but also all the lessons that you've learned along the way. It's very important. And what I want you to also be thankful for is that you're alive. You're breathing. You have the opportunity to make a change if you wish to make the change. All right. We live in an incredible country. We live in an

incredible time. A lot of the things that were going on in the world aren't that great. They're not fun to look at. They're not fun to confront and talk about and speak about and be a solution for. But here's the reality, and this is what I'm super thankful for. I'm super thankful that I was born in an era of humanity where I actually get to make a difference because other people who have come before us have not had that opportunity. There's been great generations in this country. There's been the generation that freed this country from the tyranny of England. There's been generations who got to contribute in the Civil War and make massive changes in a positive direction for our country. There's been generations that have fought World War I and World War II

and some of these other massive things in society. And not everybody gets to be in that situation. And we do. We get to matter. We get to be a solution. We get to actually be impactful in the history of earth. And I am very thankful for that. I think it's extremely important. I think about it a lot. A lot of you guys are, you know, you wonder why I'm so vocal and why I'm so excited and why I'm so passionate about doing the things that we do on this show. And one of the reasons is, is because I recognize that this is actually all I ever wanted. All I ever wanted was to matter. And we, we have the opportunity to fucking matter. And so I hope that today when you're having Thanksgiving and you're with your family and you are looking around, I hope that

you recognize that we should be very thankful because not everybody gets the opportunities that we have right now. I love you guys. I appreciate you guys. And I am super fucking thankful for everything that you've ever done for us. And I hope that you are proud of the things that I've tried to do for everybody else in return for that. And I'm sorry for getting emotional about it, but it means something to me. Okay. We have the opportunity to be a part of fucking history. We have the opportunity to make a fucking difference and not everybody has that.

And so no matter where you are or what you're doing, if these words are finding you, realize that I'm speaking directly to you. And if you could just muster up a little bit of courage, you could make a massive impact in this world. And I'm thankful for all of you that do that day in and day out. I hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving. I hope you guys are able to inventory your lives

and be thankful for all of it. Be thankful for the hard times, be thankful for the good times, be thankful for all the opportunity and all the future opportunity that we all have here if we can work together and come together as a team. I love you guys. I appreciate you guys. And I hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Bad bitch, booted, swole Got her on bankroll Can't fold, that's a no Headshot, case closed
