one up at, bro? You've been watching a lot of National Geographic. I think what happened was the music cut off at exactly the right time. Really? It did cut off. Dude, what video did you watch where dudes make that noise when they're working out? Like, where'd you get that? I think it was one of Medot or something.

Oh, Medot did it? Is that? That's DJ's Pornhub history? Did he do that before or after you stole his jokes? It was after for sure. I'm just saying for sure. I'm just saying, man, it was impressive.

I mean, it was an impressive sound. I actually thought there could be an animal. There is. Yeah. His name is DJj really it's dying no man that shit was getting heavy man that shit was getting heavy i'm trying to change up like my my sets and shit so i do like three warm-ups and then two really like heavy work sets yeah you've

been hitting it hard man yeah i get it dude i can respect that i respect it yeah sometimes it's not the previous in my 25 30 years of being in a gym you never i never respect that i respect it yeah sometimes it's not the previous in my 25 30 years of being in a gym you never i never heard that shit before it's impressive fuck you guys all right man so so what do you have to say for yourself i mean i know you're hitting hard bro you look good no i'm yeah dude i could tell the last couple days your face is slimming down a little bit yeah i so i tried tried to post this picture last night with my jeans because I'm illiterate sometimes. I didn't. Typo, right?

No, but I posted this picture. What was that sentence you just said? Exactly. Okay. Yeah. He's a bidet. Okay. Dude, what the fuck?

No, but I tried to post this picture on my story last night. It was a picture of my jeans man and i the caption was like you know i meant to say uh you know i used to have this problem with my clothes not fitting right and now i have this problem with my clothes not fitting right right and it didn't go that way so i just took it down and said fuck you guys this is a better problem though but and i'd rather have that one yeah you know what i'm saying like like like there's nothing worse bro like a lot of you guys listening you know you may not have ever been overweight or fat in your life i have spent a large amount of my life being bad as fuck there ain't nothing worse than that yeah like i would much rather have my shit fucking hanging off of me yeah than not being able to fucking button my

shirt like this shirt like that's one like this is one of my favorite shirts yeah and like when i was too big for you, I'm drowning in it. You know what I'm saying? It's a cool, it's a really, really cool feeling to have, man. Like, and you know, too, like when you're bigger guys, like it takes some time for those results to really start showing. You know, I heard something a long time ago that I read it from Arnold Schwarzenegger and I thought it was super valuable to me in regards to understanding

how long results take. Actually take. He said it takes six weeks for your body. Whether this is true scientifically or not, I don't know. I really don't know. I found it to be

true anecdotally in my own mind. What he said was that the first five or six weeks your body is adjusting to this new program and that your fat loss is actually much slower and then it accelerates at a much faster rate after the six week mark. And I found that to be absolutely true in my own experiences with being a fat fuck. And most people never get to that point. Most people can never make it to that six week point.

And then you get to that seventh week, eighth week, ninth week, 10 week, and the shit starts falling off of you. Like, and this is what makes people think like, bro, it's just my genetics or it's just this or bullshit bro listen it didn't take you uh overnight to get fat as fuck exactly like it it took you a long time and this is going to take some time too and you know anybody who's completed 75 hard or especially live hard has learned this lesson very very very uh personally yeah because it's absolutely true yeah 100 man it's a good problem yeah i just wish i hope i hope you guys you know who are thinking right now you know after new year's i'm gonna change my life and i'm gonna i hope you realize that you're full of shit like for real talk like you're you're justifying your if you were serious about it you

do it right now yeah yeah fuck Fuck New Year's. Yeah. That's how I felt about Thanksgiving, man. I think we talked about it. We were like, oh, man. You sure you want to take that off? I've taken the last 20 plus Thanksgivings off. Not only the 20 plus Thanksgivings, every other day along with it. Exactly. You know what I'm saying?

Like that's, you know, you guys who are sitting there saying New Year's, New Year's, New Year's, New Year's, whether it be in your business or your fitness or whatever it is you're trying to do just recognize you're pacifying yourself you're lying to yourself right now because you know in your heart that you're likely not to follow through and i hope you do but my recommendation and what i've been like i started 75 hard i'm on day 11 yeah um i'm going to be sprinting into the fucking 23 like i am going to be kicking ass and i'm already kicking ass again. Like 11 days in, I feel fucking amazing. Um, but like, bro, you know, it's real talk.

Like you guys should start fucking thinking about this now and at taking action now. And if you take, you know, Christmas off to be with your family, fine. But there's a whole bunch of days before Christmas. And there's some days after Christmas, before new year's that you can win on you know what i'm saying like i'm not saying you have to start 75 hard i'm not saying it has to be like that i started 75 hard specifically because i needed the mental upgrade all right like i've been injured for a year 14 months i'm finally to a point where i could train i'm this this whole year has been a mental for me because i haven't been able to do the things that have kept me sane for a long time um and i did

what i could but it just wasn't the same right like i did 75 hard with my injury where i was doing you know two cardios most of the days and like that and bro it just wasn't i wasn't able to put in the proper amount of intensity to get that mental return where I needed it to be. And, uh, now that I'm back, you know, the first day I realized, uh, that I was back to being able to train effectively, I started, which was 11 days ago. Yeah. And you know, it's, you know, I realized that might not be everybody's goal right now, but I can tell you this, this is real talk. I was talking toily because i was in a very hard spot before i started that this last round of 75 and i'm like fuck dude like we're gonna find out if this motherfucker actually really works again you know because i needed it yeah i needed it yeah and dude

man that fucking shit does work like it fucking works if you do it right you do it with intent you do it with the proper uh the way i've way I've made it for you guys to follow and not try to make adjustments and justify. Fucking cucumber water. Yeah, bro. You motherfuckers don't understand that the reason that you fucking suffer mentally is because you're used to accommodating yourself by making adjustments in the situation at hand.

You think you're qualified to say what's, oh, this is okay for me. This is all right for me. This is what I want to do. But you do that with everything in life. And you don't realize the reason you don't have confidence, the reason you don't have discipline, the reason you don't have self-esteem, the reason you don't have grit, fortitude, or any of the other shit, the self-belief that comes from this program is because you consistently change the environment to suit your mood or feelings or what it is. And because of that, you never overcome anything difficult. And because of that, you feel like shit about yourself all the time.

And when I see people make adjustments on this program and they think, oh, I'm just going to do this instead, like, because it's easier. That's the problem, bro. That's the problem. You try to make everything easy. You try to make everything convenient. You try to make everything more palatable to your sensitive taste buds when in reality, those taste buds need to be toughened up because the world's going to serve you a bunch of shit your whole entire life and you need to build yourselfened up because the world's going to serve you a bunch of shit your whole entire life. And you need to build yourself into someone who can fucking handle it. Yeah.

So. Yeah. Fucking resilient. Bro. It drives me insane because, dude, these people can't even recognize that just by trying to accommodate. Oh, I'm going to run a marathon. But you know what? I'm going to run 18 miles instead of the 26.2.

And I'm going to say I ran a marathon. I'm going to do an Ironman. I'll just get the tattoo of Ironman. Dude, I'm going to do an Ironman. But instead of the run, because I'm a shitty runner, I'm just going to bike that part as well. Gotcha. And I did an Ironman. That's you, motherfuckers.

So do whatever you got to do. Do the program or don't do the program. But if you say you do the program, do it the fucking right way. And I promise you, it will change your motherfucking life. I'll stand on that till the day I fucking die because I am witness to it every single day.

I see tens of thousands of people who have fucking actually committed changing their fucking lives. And by the way, I changed my fucking life with it. It's how I fucking live. So if you want to learn about that it's episode 208 the program's completely free that's not an ad wait yeah i paid well you know i used to always say it's the truth it doesn't cost money but it ain't fucking free

mm-hmm no that's fucking real well guys let's get into these uh these questions uh any question number one andy what are your thoughts on the ncaa football rules with players getting paid and stuff i'm 19 and i play for d1 double a school i'm trying to learn how to build a personal brand because people are telling me it's important. But all I really care about is playing football and graduating. What should I do? What are your thoughts? Well, that's kind of a two-part question.

I 100% agree that these athletes at these big schools where these schools make tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars on their athletic program, deserve a slice of the pie. When they're selling the athletes' jerseys, when they're using their name and likeness, and they're fucking getting paid money off of video games and shit, some of that needs to go to the athletes.

Now, I don't know the way that NIL is actually set up in detail, et cetera. But I also have seen a lot of these athletes who are really good players now turn their focus into becoming some sort of influencer instead of focusing on becoming the best absolute player they can be. And it's kind of like delay gratification in a way you guys have to understand that even though you're able to make money right now that money is not going to compare to the money that you'll make if you just focused on becoming a better fucking athlete every single

day and didn't worry about this shit if that's your goal yeah i see a lot of these people getting wrapped up in this nil shit where and by the way how i think the money should be distributed is it should go into some sort of annuity fund or something that they can get later in life they won't have access yeah because bro Yeah, because bro, the reality is, some of these guys are getting paid a lot of money, bro. And they're showing up at school with a brand new fucking Benz. Rolexes.

Yeah, bro. And listen, dude, that will come and go. And that distraction that you create by living that life during that period of time will actually keep you from achieving the bigger dream that's always been on the table for you. And so it's a very fine line to walk. If it were me, it would go into an account that could earn interest that these guys could

rely on. These girls can rely on later in life. It doesn't have to be when they're 40. Right. But I mean, dude, maybe when they hit 30, maybe when they hit 27 or 28, something that doesn't distract them in the moment when they're working to become the best that they want to become. And you've already invested 15 years of work into this.

Why the fuck would you get distracted over a few dollars now? Right. It's not smart. Right. Okay. And that's my problem with NIL. I think there's a lot of athletes that are getting ruined because they're losing focus on what their core project has been

uh yeah for this relatively little amount of funds right now yeah so like i'm okay with them getting money but like bro let's give them the money a little bit later so that it can earn interest and they can think about what they want to do with it and they don't just like blow it on right okay it's like six months ago these dudes were asking they had to raise their hand and go use the bathroom yeah that's fucking bullshit too you know what i'm saying like look dude look look man that the players deserve something yeah for sure that's not what i'm saying yeah but when you start taking away their core focus you're actually handicapping a lot of athletes that would cross that finish line and make it to the professional

levels uh as a superstar, because, you know, they got a million bucks now and they think it's a lot of money. And dude, I'm going to tell you right now, I'm like, don't just sit there and say, oh, well, you just don't think it's a lot of money, man, motherfucker. It ain't a lot of money. Like you motherfuckers will get that money and you will realize that it goes like that. And what will happen is over the course of your life, you'll wish your entire life you had that money back to do something with okay so for i mean dude the way look how they propagate

spending them especially in hip-hop culture yeah i mean bro look i can't talk because i live that life like i live a pretty fucking baller life but i also only spend a little bitty proportion of my income to live that life. To achieve that. The rest of it goes back into my companies or into things that are going to produce more later on. So my advice to any young athlete, no matter if you're just, let's say, an entry-level influencer NIL or a big-time superstar athlete that's getting paid some serious money, dude, just forget about the money. Forget about you fucking getting that money and

focus on being in the gym, focus on your academics, focus on development of your athletic career, and get through this phase of your life without being distracted because that distraction will ruin you in what could potentially be your biggest opportunity ever um and and the attention and the girls and the and the fucking life that you're getting now for that bro you won't even remember that shit in 10 years you won't even remember it won't mean shit to you and you're gonna be like fuck i wish i had fucking still had that, you know, hundred grand or 50 grand or fucking a million, but whatever the fuck it is. No.

Right. It goes for everybody. Like these young men and young women shouldn't be having to think about the lifestyle that they need to live and how they need to attract people on Instagram and all this shit when they're, in my opinion, at that level of collegiate sports. For sure. One of the things that makes collegiate sports so fucking great is that it's true competition bro like it's not it's not it's not muddied it's not spoiled it's not infected by this like by the money yeah right

it's pure shit this is why i watch college football and i don't really care about pro football right it's exciting to me it's not politicized yeah and by the way like it's cool to watch these young kids do their fucking thing bro like i fucking love that you know and i just wish a lot of the young men and women out there you know they need better and that's the other thing like a lot of you guys have these agents or these advisors bro these motherfuckers don't give two shits about you they don't give two fucks about you you think they do because they've done this for 20 years and they know how to sell you. They know exactly where you are and they know exactly what they need to say to get you to go with them. And they will fucking act like they're your best friend. And at the end of the day, bro, they're going to try to get you to

go for the deal that's best for them, not the deal that's best for you. And what the deal is that's best for you, no matter who you are in the NCAA is going to be focusing on becoming the absolute fucking best at whatever your craft is and worrying about the money at a later date. That's my recommendation. No, it's fucking real, man.

That's where I do. I mean, like you said, there's a trade off and it seems like it's almost like irresponsibility on behalf of the coaches. And again, I'm not in these locker rooms, and I'm not in these programs, right? But it appears to be because I follow a lot of these young men. I know a lot of these young men. Yeah.

There's some irresponsibility, and I don't know if it's intentional. We ain't got to go there. But it's like they're leaving these kids high and fucking dry. Even in the NFLfl dude it's the same exact thing you're doing it earlier dude yeah they have the rookie symposium bro they don't teach these motherfuckers shit no they don't teach these motherfuckers shit you know why it's the same reason they don't teach you shit coming out of high school about financial responsibility right okay and you could and what the reason for that is is because it makes you once you're indebted

it makes you easy to control. You have to work to survive. You have to do their things to survive. And by the way, when you have debt, they've got equity. And once you understand that concept, you can start to understand why they don't teach us financial responsibility. And then you say, well, why are you saying that about the Rookie Symposium? Well, if these guys go out they these owners are not fucking stupid if these guys go out these athletes and go out and spend a bunch of money on their contract

and they need more money what are they likely to do resign no no no what are they likely to do they're likely to fucking perform better because they fucking have to because they fucking have to okay so you're gonna they they let these people intentionally go out and live a ridiculous lifestyle that they truly can't afford, bro. Not many... And I know, dude, this is going to sound ridiculous, okay?

Coming from... This is just true. And whether you think so or not, it's your perspective. But most of these pro athletes don't make that much money. You have to understand, that money is supposed to last them for 70 years. Their whole entire life.

So when you stretch out an athlete's salary over the course of 70 years, it doesn't equate to the same numbers. And they don't even teach that. They don't even teach that. And so you got guys who are making four or five, two million a year, thinking they don't even teach that. They don't even teach that. And so you got guys who are making four or five, two million a year thinking they're rich as fuck. They're going out buying roles and living in a big house. And bro, I'm going to tell you right now, that ain't enough money to live like that. It just isn't. You have to sustain your life over the course of a long

time. And by the way, when you're a pro athlete, the idea is to be done with pro athletes with a huge sum of cash that you can now deploy into other avenues that will allow you to make even more money. And many athletes do this. It's just not enough. And they don't teach it right. Yeah, it's real, man. You know, the rookie symposium in the NFL, bro, it's a fucking joke. Like, it's a fucking joke.

And ask anybody you know that plays in that's ever been to it ask them they'll tell you it's not right dude we could do a much better job educating these young men and women about how the fuck to manage their finances properly and not be broke and be on espn 30 for 30 two years after they fucking got done playing yeah no shit i was gonna talk such such the marketing brand aspect of it. Like now you got kids fucking like, like same reason you don't run the fucking ass. You're not about to fucking pitch some shit.

You don't even believe in. Well, that's a whole nother. That's what I'm saying. It's a, it's a different conversation. But we could touch on it, bro,

because that's true. Because what a lot of these kids are doing is they're representing things. They don't understand or don't believe in or don't use the brand horse. Yes. And dude, once you have a reputation for that even if you wanted to become a respectable influencer after your playing career is over people are going to remember that you sold out for a few dollars for some shit that you didn't even know about right so it's damaging them that way too yeah it's crazy yeah it's it's an important point bro

uh guys any question number two andy i'm three years in business and I'm about to start hiring my first round of employees for a products based company when it comes to things like education or work experience. Right. What are some things that you found that owner operators should be super cognizant of? And what are things that are kind of just null and void or shouldn't have too much focus at all when it comes to hiring new employees or first-time employees? Well, look, man, a lot of you guys think, a lot of people think there's some like golden employee tree where you like hire the all-star employees and like they just fucking garden. Yeah, bro. That that's not, that's, that's what people think. Like like when they have when they have a good experience

at a business they will be like well fuck where'd you come from and most of the case like dude how do you think chick-fil-a gets all their employees to fucking behave the way they do do you think it's fucking luck do you think they fucking just go to the the garden of fucking eden and say hey all you might i mean no. That's what people think, right? Like people think that, but in reality they have extensive training and they have a strong value system inside, which we often report referred to as core values. And there's a culture that lives and breathes Chick-fil-A and customers feel it. Customers know it. If you ask anybody like what the best fucking services or or who the nicest people are every

fucking human out there is going to say chick-fil-a every fucking human it's it's it's universally known that doesn't come because they just happen to get lucky hiring the right employees right they actually take the time to vet the people that come in and make them understand this is what this is about. This is how it's done here. This is what we do. And they don't tolerate less than that. And the reason that most entrepreneurs and business owners can't effectively hire is because they won't stand on that line hard.

We have a generation of total fucking weak pussy fucks who will not fucking stand up for themselves. And that goes for entrepreneurs as well. This is why when you say this is how it's going to be, you have to be willing to let go of people who will not fucking live that way inside the walls of your company. And most business owners won't do that. Most business owners are held hostage by a group of people inside their company that they are somehow convinced their brain that without those people, the company will fail. And so they hesitate to install true real culture because they know that their key people who probably produce

some of their sales that are relevant will leave. And that's true. They will leave. But when you make this new living, breathing culture based around the core values that you believe in and the code of conduct that you want your employees to behave along the lines of, now you're making an investment in the future. Now you won't have to be held hostage by these people anymore. Now you will have to deal with far less bullshit from your employees, but because you're not willing to pull the bandaid off the first time, you can never truly get it going. Because when most people try to, and by the way, this person's in a great, you haven't hired anybody. So this is a great time to do this. But most people who have have employees they have a really hard time uh changing the

culture or or the inner workings or or the mission or anything inside their business because the minute they do the people who have been there the longest who are used to being catered to and told they're fucking everything and you know get cake in the fucking break yeah like bro those people revolt revolt against yeah so they're like fuck this i'm not doing that and then they have a they have a mutiny on their hands and that's the point the point is to create the mutiny so you can get the fucking bad apples out and then you can move forward the right way that's right but most owners won't fucking make that they won't pull that mandate off yeah and because of that, their businesses will continue to creep

along, barely breaking even, never be fun to go to, always have drama in the office, always have bullshit. And look, dude, we have an excellent culture in my companies because I understand how to design it from the ground up. And there's still problems. There's still things that you have to address. It's not perfect, but it does make things a lot easier. And when your employees can all align themselves with the same mentality, now you have a lot of people rowing the same direction and you can actually move where you're trying to go at a much faster rate. But you have to have some courage and you have to be determined to do it. When we first put our core values in place place we were 11 years into our business um yeah some motherfuckers

quit we lost some people some people left but here we are 11 years later and it's fucking the greatest thing that we have going for us yeah so to the point where it's like the solid culture prevents the cancers from even fucking applying yeah that's true well they'll come in and if they do make it past see now see once your culture gets to a mature level bro and it's like understood now you're losing out the fucking yeah bro now you have a self-policing situation right where your employees will identify people that don't fit and they will fucking eliminate them without you ever hearing about it that's that's what or they won't even get in because the people interviewing them are like fuck dude this guy ain't he ain't

one of us you know i'm saying he ain't rolling yeah he's not gonna row he's not gonna carry the bricks bro yep you know and the motherfuckers don't carry the bricks ain't the motherfuckers you want to build with it's fucking real oh i love it uh guys any question number three or the final one andy if i align with a smaller political party okay let's say libertarian uh-huh should i be voting for that candidate when there is an election a lot of people tell me i'm throwing my vote away because that candidate will never win. I'm trying to vote for who I think is best, but should I instead vote for which candidate I align better with out of the two main political parties? In our current system,

when you vote for a party or a candidate that literally cannot win, that's a vote to the opposition. It's just as bad as you voting for the person you don't want to win right now right in our current system right we have a two-party system and libertarian party never ever ever has enough horsepower to make an impact on a on a large scale now it might it might at the community level you know what i'm saying there's a lot of independent people libertarian people things like that at the community level even at the state level. You know what I'm saying? There's a lot of independent people, libertarian people, things like that at the community level, even at the state level. But on the federal elections, they don't have enough horsepower yet to really do that. So you have to really think

that through because if you decide that you want to vote for a candidate that doesn't actually have a chance of winning, you're basically putting yourself in the worst possible scenario for what you actually want. And it's important to understand this because, for example, I'm actually more of a libertarian than I am anything else. Now, I'm not a libertarian that believes that we should have no laws and anarchy and chaos, but I am a libertarian in the way that I view personal liberty, in the way that I view personal responsibility, in the way that I view we should have a very small government with very low taxes. Our taxes should be completely transparent to see exactly where they're going.

And these people in the government should not make money when they go to serve. And we should all have the equal rights. We should all be free. We should not be harassed by these three-letter agencies. We shouldn't be oppressed by an over-oppressive tax system. And most of the problems in society can be solved by private companies at the community level. I understand this in depth. And if we sat down, I could, and I don't care if you agree or disagree with me, if you disagree with me and we sat down, I could fucking destroy you on this argument. Right.

Okay? I've thought about it quite a bit. Just a little bit. Yeah. So, but I don't vote libertarian. Right. Okay? Recently, I voted for what everybody likes to call ultra-mega, crazy, far-right, alt-right,

blah, blah, blah, which actually means in real life real citizens let me translate this for you from the media and the propaganda real citizens who are tired of the government shit who want to go there and fix it that's who i've been voting for okay that's what i think needs to happen because that's the closest thing we have to citizen representation happening at the national level. Okay. Now those people happen to be Republican. Does that, does that mean I believe in every establishment Republican viewpoint? Absolutely fucking not.

But here's what I do know. The people on the other side are fucking insane, bro. And they're strategically destroying our country. And I'm not going to go into that because I go into that a lot on, on the other show, but because I see it that way and I see what they're happening i vote for the people that i think have the biggest chance of stopping this over here yeah that makes sense no it makes perfect sense i think there's there's another thing in there too though right it's like you know it's and by the way if there were independent democrats like for example like tulsi gabbard yeah independent democrat okay i'd

vote for her like i don't vote i'm not a strict party no yeah well that's not that's not i vote for people that aren't bought and paid for to the maximum degree we need independent citizens from our communities and i'm not talking about people who want to go there and plug into the system and get rich i'm talking about motherfuckers that care about this country, whether they have more liberal leaning views or whether they have more right-leaning views. That's not really of concern to me because the main problem that we have in this country right now is that everybody at the top, and I think we talked about this on yesterday's show or the day before, everybody at the top is part of the same deal. They're all in the secret club that none of us are in so we need to figure out how to get people

in there to break that shit up right and this is why we talked about the show with ian smith where the rhino republicans are actually a bigger enemy than the fucking democrats because the rhino republicans will fucking run hate ads and scandal ads against these regular citizens trying to go in and disrupt what's going on like they did to eric wrighton's right okay and people say well eric wrighton's used to be a democrat yeah no shit bro until he recognized it was fucking crazy right and you know and now he's over here and he actually believes these things like sometimes you got to go over here to understand what the fuck is going on and you're like fuck i'm at the wrong party bro yeah and you go back you know what i'm saying like so the short answer to a complicated question is when you vote for a party that has no chance at winning you are automatically

voting for the opposition every single time so we we're never going to have a perfect candidate we have to vote and think along the lines of who's the best even if they're flawed yeah like this guy might like well that's that's what i was gonna bring up is like that all or nothing mentality it's killing america you're you should not agree with everything no no bro it's killing us yeah it's in everything it's it's look at its identity politics bro look how the look how the media speaks about black people. Right. They speak about black people as like they all think the same way. Or Latino people as they all think the same way. Or white people are all white supremacists.

Right. Like, bro, that's fucking bullshit. Right. We're all fucking independent thinkers, every single one of us. And they are lumping us into an ideology that benefits them. Because if they can get us to all fall in line with a group and you're a part of this group and I'm a part of this group over here, then we're supposed to not get along. Right. Because that's what they tell us. Yes. And like, do we as citizens, as a collective,

have to get much smarter about how we relate to individuals and how we communicate things? Like this whole thing with identity politics and I'm part of this, and I vote Democrat because I'm part of the black community, and I vote Democrat because I'm part of the Latino community. This shit has got to stop, bro. We have to start voting. And by the way, we also have to criticize people. Dude, a lot of people like to say, and I'm just saying they will say, well, all the crime in the country is coming from the black population, a vast majority of it. That may be true, but that still does not mean that black people are fucking criminals, bro. Right. There's.

Dude, look, man, it's I know we like to make jokes but this is no joke like this this is no joke like we cannot lump everybody into these fucking generalizations because it can it keeps us all from having any sort of reasonable dialogue like the worst kind of human in this country right now outside of communists and pedophiles is the person who can't be friends with someone who thinks a little bit different than them. Yeah. That's the problem we have in this country.

That's the problem. Okay. Like, bro, I'm, I'm proud to say that I am very proud of this. I have friends across the spectrum of every fucking political ideology. There's progressive people that I talk to on a regular basis that we have civil discourse. I'm not talking about, fuck you, you're fucking blah, blah, blah. I'm talking about civil discourse. And by the way, if we sit down and break bread, it's still fucking cool. But I'm not tolerating that ideology anymore. It's poisonous. And we have to get to a point where we stop lumping everybody in with this group thing

and start recognizing especially when it comes to the crimes that are being committed uh at the top level okay by the tyrants that are putting crimes on us we cannot like we cannot say oh like dude this is the problem that what kanye i've said this fucking five times with kanye he keeps saying the jews not the fucking jews right it's fucking not the jews that's a ridiculous fucking statement it's actually people who are very wealthy who uh may happen to be jewish and they definitely use anti-semitism to hide behind so you can't criticize anything they say but that certainly doesn't mean that the rest of the jewish people are fucking part of the problem exactly and like bro that's an absurd argument

it's an absurd argument right it's absurd and all it does is just continue it's not even it's not it's not even a little bit true right we have a cabal yes we have elite fucks yes we have a bunch of people who are fucking communists and want a globalist system at the top who want to oppress the rest of the world yes that does not equate to an entire fucking race or religion of people right it just doesn't make sense to me that's because it's fucking that's what it is right and like dude people people are so fucking conditioned to group think now it's like this or that it's like a very binary way to think i'm either this team or that team i either believe in this or that bro there's all these issues that we do this on there's a million miles of nuance in

the middle that that matters yeah for sure and we're not even discussing it let me let me ask you this so what if you could put it in a percentage, right, if I'm voting for a candidate, what's a healthy percentage that you think should be acceptable? Like if you believe in this many percent of Democrat, a Libertarian, and a fucking Republican, the Democrat only really hits on 20% of the shit I care about. The rest of the shit, the 80%, it's exact opposite. Then I got the Libertarian that has 80% of the things that I agree. And then I got the republicans got 60 well the libertarian doesn't have a chance to win in this election there's no chance for that so i am going to vote for the republican over here because they they have a they can win and which is most important part and they represent more of what I represent than what these other people,

this other side represents. Yeah. Does that make sense? Perfect sense. That's perfect. But dude, we as humans have to get rid of this group. Think bullshit.

Let's identity politics, politics, bullshit. Like when you lump an entire part, like when you, when you say white people or you say black people, or you say fucking Jewish people, or you say this or that

or this, I hope you understand that you're a fucking victim of their propaganda because we have to hold individuals responsible for their individual evil or bad decisions or their crimes. And if we don't get back to that, we end up in a situation where very evil things can happen and very dangerous things can happen. One of which happens all the time when communism is tried to be implemented which is a fucking genocide or a mass killing this has happened over and over and over and over again with the same ideology and the reason is is because there's always a mass part of the population that doesn't want to fucking buy in to eating fucking crickets and not eating and not having shit right like so what are they what their solution is like bro anytime you have to have a military

implement your fucking position it's about force it's probably not a great one yeah i'd say that's a good litmus test yeah well guys Well, guys, Andy, that is three. So go pay the fee. Yeah. Go pay the fee. Yeah. Yeah.
