Starting point is 00:00:00 What is up guys, it's Andy Frisella and 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, today we have Q and AF. That's where you submit the questions and we give you the answers. You could submit those questions one of a few different ways. The first way is- Guys, email those questions in to askandy at andyfusella.com. The second way is we are uploading the full length episodes on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:00:43 I know most of you guys are on audio, but if you go on YouTube and you check out the Q&A episodes, you can drop your question down there in the comments and we'll pick some from there as well. Other times when you tune in, if you're new for the show, we do have multiple versions of the show. You're going to hear Q&A today. Other times you're going to hear a CTI that stands for cruise the internet. That's our society culture. What's going on in the news show. Uh, we put the headlines up on the screen. We talk about what may be true, what may not be true. We make fun of it. Uh, we tell some jokes and then we talk about what we need to do to solve some of these problems
Starting point is 00:01:18 going on in the world. Other times you tune in, we have real talk. Real talk is five to 20 minutes of real talk. Uh, and then we have full length. Full talk is five to 20 minutes of real talk. And then we have full length. Full length is what you guys listened to last episode with Alex Ramosi. It's just basically a room full of some people and we have a conversation. Very simple. The basis of the show is entrepreneurship, business success, and kicking ass. Okay. Personal development. It's been that way for a long, long time. Now, you might ask, why do we talk about current events? Well, we talk about current events because if we don't understand the environment that we are working in, we can't succeed, okay? So,
Starting point is 00:01:55 it doesn't matter how good you get, it doesn't matter how good your personal development skills are if we don't have freedom. If we don't understand what it takes to preserve freedom or understand if we have freedom or how it works, what's going on in the world, our environment can change, which allows us not to be effective over here, which is what we all want to do. So we have to be interested in both. It's the nature of the beast. For those of you that don't know who the fuck I am, I'm an entrepreneur. I've been very successful and I share with you for free 24 years of real business advice.
Starting point is 00:02:26 And for that, we have a fee. The fee is very simple. It's not send me some money, although I will take the money if you send it to me. Mainly, it is just share the show, man. If we do good, if you learn something, if you get some value, if we do a good job, we make you laugh, we make you think, if we make you have a different perspective. If you thought the show was good, do us a solid, man solid man share the show that's what i say whenever i pay the fee so um or when i say i pay the fee so that's the rundown um for those of you that don't know uh
Starting point is 00:02:57 our take live tickets are for sale right now i'm just going to mention that real quick at the beginning of the show uh we will sell out of those within the next couple days i think we're three quarters the way sold out already uh without even running a single ad or a single post for it so if you're interested in that which you should be because uh the lineup is incredible it is rt syndicate.com where you can go to find out tickets uh for that event april 22nd st louis missouri all right so what's up what's going on man oh not much yeah are you do you have any uh what is actually do you have for the listeners do you have any uh like special projects anything like that you work on on the side you've been focusing on what's what's on the the what's on the the agenda well i mean me not participating in social media is
Starting point is 00:03:43 probably on the near agenda. I'm really fucking tired of that. I think it's a fucking joke. I think it's become gossip and drama and it's become negativity and toxic. Yeah, it has benefits for building a business, connecting with people, but the benefits don't seem to outweigh the negatives, at least for me at this point in my life so what i've been doing is uh focusing on redoing the mfceo project which i'm going to put most of my time into uh that show this show and i'm going to let that be my content and that's what it's going to be so that's a big project i've been working on uh building two massive buildings across the street that's a big fucking project i've been working on um building you know fucking three other companies at the same time as trying to
Starting point is 00:04:24 build this one out that's another project i mean like i don't know the same time is trying to build this one out that's another project i mean like i don't know there's a lot trying to get my fucking ass back in shape that's a project you know it's been there's a lot of shit going on so because i mean dude i see your daily schedules i see your daily life right like and most people would like if they looked at that they'd be like fuck man how, like, how do you not stretch yourself thin? Right. Like how, how, so I mean, how do you, the way it is, it's not that I don't like, you know, that's required.
Starting point is 00:04:55 That's what's required. Like the requirement is to stretch yourself thin. You know, like everybody has, has, and is fascinated with this idea of healthy balance and all this shit. And they want all the fucking good things that come with the relentless pursuit of these things that we want in life. But they don't want to do those things because it disrupts their fucking balance. And then they get pissed off that they can't create these things. And it's this vicious circle.
Starting point is 00:05:24 I want the maximum output with the most. yeah that's not how it works to get the maximum output it takes maximal effort and you're competing against other people that's the reality a lot of people try to deny the fact that oh i'm only competing with myself i'm not competing against anyone else well it's nice to tell yourself that but that's not reality the reality is there's a whole bunch of smart that areers that are all in saying, fuck this. I'll do whatever the fuck I got to do to get where I got to go. And they're doing it. And so if you're one of those people that wants to do that, that's what, that's the cost of, of the journey. That's what you're going to pay for the ticket to go on that ride. Um, I think the more important question is, is why do you think that this is for
Starting point is 00:06:01 you? Why do you think that you need to have all of this? Because clearly you don't really think that otherwise your actions would align with that. You know what I'm saying? There's a lot of people out there that say certain things are their goals, but you come to find out, you pay attention to their actions. Their goals aren't really actually their goals at all. Their goals are reflected by the actions that they take. So like, you know thinking of that ultimate life that you want and saying oh that would be nice um and then not backing it up with any actions that doesn't mean those things are your goals that means it's a fleeting thought of dream you know that you think would be nice you know you're still sleeping yeah
Starting point is 00:06:40 there's a massive and like bro it's not for everybody i'm not here i'm not here to shame you like if you don't want to fucking if that's what you want and you don't want to do that work, totally cool, but you're probably listening to the wrong show. You know what I'm saying? You're better off listening to one of these shows and make you feel good from fucking breathing. That's not what we do here. We're for people that actually want to create, and we talk about the principles necessary
Starting point is 00:07:00 to create, and one of the principles is you got to do whatever the fuck you got to do. Sometimes you're going to be stretched thin. Sometimes it's going to be hard. In fact, I think it's going to be hard more than it's not going to be hard. And that's unfortunate because a lot of people are shocked by that because of the nature of the information that's given out on the internet today, where it seems like everybody's got the hack or the solution or buy my course and I'll teach you the fast way. There is no fucking fast way. The fast way is you have to dig the fuck in. You got to do the shit other people won't do.
Starting point is 00:07:29 And you got to do that for a long fucking time while they're out having a great fucking time. Then one day you're going to get to a point where you're going to look around and you're like, fuck, I can do whatever the fuck I want now. And those people can't. And that's the reality, dude. Like it's, it's, it's not for everybody, but for those people that want it, you have to realize the price that you got to pay up front. You know what I mean? A lot of people waste their whole lives, in my opinion, trying to be something that they're not really
Starting point is 00:07:51 that interested in being. Cause if they were, their actions would back that up. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like a lot of people talk about, they want a better career, they want a better job, but what the fuck are you doing to create that? You that you know what what are you doing in your time away from your job to increase your skill set what are you learning who are you surrounding yourself with what kind of friends do you hang out with what are you eating what are you putting in your brain what are you how are you moving if you don't have a solid answer for all those things that are all directed towards going where that you want to go you ain't gonna fucking fucking get there. Yeah. And like, it's like, dude, there's this misconception that it's just like going to happen for you. It's not going to fucking happen for you.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Like a lot of young people in their twenties, they think, oh, once I get to be 30, I'll get serious and take my shit and, you know, I'll get it together. Right, right, right. What you don't understand is those motherfuckers are going to have their shit together. They are already doing it. They're doing it now. You just can't see them. They're the same age as you. They're years old they're 22 they're 25 they're 27 they're they're doing the
Starting point is 00:08:49 shit that's going to produce the result that you want at 30 or 35 right now and you think that you're going to get to 30 or 35 and turn it the fuck on it's just going to be there right that's not how the fuck it works right and uh you know we got all these knuckleheads on the internet with their fucking you know exotic, exotic cars and shit. And like, bro, I love cars. I got a great car collection. Probably one of the best in the fucking world, if we're being completely honest. And you got these knuckleheads out there with their fuck, like using these things as bait and tackle for people to believe that they know what the fuck they're talking about.
Starting point is 00:09:22 And these people have these things leased out and they're fucking, know they're no they're no more wealthy than the paycheck to paycheck guy they're just spending all their paycheck to look this image so that they can see video yeah so they can seem credible so they can sell you some shit and get some more money real fucking people that know real shit have real businesses bro you could buy their shit you can go to their headquarters you can fucking go to their office you can see see their employees. You can talk to them. That's real shit. You know, how many of these motherfuckers online actually have that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Something to ask yourself when you think about who the fuck you're listening to. I'm just being real. Yeah. I love that point, too, though, because it's like, you know, like I was trying to think of like an easy metaphor for it, you know, but it's like, you know, you hear a lot of people say like, even me, like, you know, man, I want to be a millionaire. But the truth is, is if you were, if somebody deposited. Better shoot for higher than that. Well, yeah, I mean, for sure, right?
Starting point is 00:10:10 Being a millionaire was cool in the 70s and 80s, bro. Right, right, for sure. I'm just saying, like, I'm speaking in layman's terms, right? But, like, the truth is, if somebody was to come by and just magically deposit $1 million in your fucking account, you don't even have the tools in place to even know what to fucking do with it, let alone keep it, let alone, you know what I'm saying? So it's like you got to build those skills first, and then the shit comes, and now you can handle it.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Yeah, of course, dude. This is very apparent. Look at all the pro athletes that get big fucking contracts. Let me see them on 30 for 30 two years later, broke as fuck. Yeah, bankrupt. Look at the lottery winners who win fucking a billion dollars fucking contracts let me see them on 30 for 30 two years later broke as fuck yeah bankrupt or look at the lottery winners who win fucking you know a billion dollars and they're fucking you know five years later they're broke if you if you don't understand the game of earning and you don't understand the game of keeping you don't understand the gain of gaining you know you don't understand
Starting point is 00:10:59 all those games how the fuck do you think you're going to be able to manage money you know what i'm saying like dude it's it's a huge thing and and you know that's a whole nother thing like like a lot of people think that they can get that certain amount i'm gonna get that money i'm gonna get this job i'm gonna get to that place and everything's gonna fix everything and like bro what you're really missing is the fucking skills that's what you're missing yeah you're putting your value on the fucking result as opposed to the here's's the thing about skills, bro. You can fucking take anything from, you can take everything from someone with skills. You take fucking everything. You burn their fucking house down, burn their company down, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:11:34 They're going to know in fucking three years how to have all the shit back. They'll be right back there. Not only that, they're going to have the connections because they've been doing it. So like it's. You don't get there and then develop the skills. Yeah. And it's a, dude, listen, here's the reality. There's just a bunch of tire kicking motherfuckers's a dude listen here's the reality there's just a bunch of tire kicking motherfuckers on the internet that's the truth i'm just saying for where i'm at my life you ask me what i'm going to do what i'm working on i'm going to pour myself in like
Starting point is 00:11:56 continue into this show um i'm going to continue to you know i'm probably we're going to do a couple things on youtube we got a couple little shows on youtube uh, we're going to do a couple of things on YouTube. We've got a couple little shows on YouTube that we're going to be putting out. One's a lifestyle show. And the other one is a car, a little car show that we're going to do one episode of each per month. That's going to be cool. That's a project we're working on. Then we got the MFCEO platform, which is going to be a private platform plus community.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I'm just going to pour myself into that shit, dude. That makes me feel good. Like, like we were talking about with Alex the other day, like I love seeing people win and I love seeing people, you know, and I get, I get that through the fitness aspect with, with being involved with, with, you know, first form and S2 and 75 hard, live hard and all these things. Um, and then I get it from the financial aspect from, from MFCO, really F RTA. And like, dude, that fills my cup, man.
Starting point is 00:12:43 I fucking love that shit. Like I love seeing you motherfuckers win. Like you guys listening right now, the only reason I fucking do this is because I fucking love seeing you win. I love going on the hashtag of 75 hard and seeing people change their lives. I love going on the hashtag of I am first form
Starting point is 00:12:57 and seeing people change their lives. I love going on the internet and talking to my friends from Arte who have been in three, four years now who have gone from fucking somebody just looking to build a business to multi multi-millionaires who are buying fucking McLarens and shit. You know what I'm saying? Having 150 employees from zero three years ago,
Starting point is 00:13:16 that kind of shit. I fucking love, you know what I'm saying? Here's what I don't love. Uh, you, y'all arguing about dumb fucking shit all fucking day long. Like what the fuck is wrong with y'all? about dumb fucking shit all fucking day long like what the
Starting point is 00:13:25 fuck is wrong with y'all yeah but anyway that's neither here nor there that's another episode guys yeah it's real shit though man it's real shit well yeah let's make some of these people better in real life let's uh you know what i think is cool i think the little community that we're starting to build on youtube is cool youtube has a good community yeah i think the comment you know the people who comment on the YouTube show, I really appreciate those people because they're posting productive comments and they're sitting through our show for the hour or two hours
Starting point is 00:13:50 or in some case longer than that and having constructive feedback and asking questions and getting involved on how to really get better. I love that shit. Yeah. That's the part of the internet I fucking love. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:14:01 Yeah. And, you know, I just saying? Yeah. Um, and, and, and, you know, I've just appreciate you guys for being that way and not being douchebags. Yeah. Real talk.
Starting point is 00:14:10 It's real shit. And I know a lot of you guys are still on audio only, but, uh, if you get a chance to check it out on YouTube, you guys should, you know, click it on one night,
Starting point is 00:14:17 throw it on your TV or whatever, because, uh, from the people who used to listen to audio, they're now listening to or watching on YouTube. They, they, I'm getting really good feedback. So, you know So I guess they like seeing our pretty mugs.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Yeah. Like seeing something. Yeah. I love it, man. Well, yeah, let's get, let's knock these questions out, man. Um, Andy, question number one, uh, Andy, I'm 23 years old running my own marketing business and I like to set attainable daily goals for the team whenever it comes to the sales. But sometimes we don't hit those goals and the guys say, it's just one of those days. And I can tell that they just weren't locked in. Even though I lead from the front, they don't seem to follow suit. How do I communicate to the team about building momentum after taking a loss or a bad day and getting them back to being intense and being urgent with their action? Well, look, man, I mean, dude, you, first of all, you got to have real expectations. Not every
Starting point is 00:15:11 single day is going to be this fucking killer day. Not for you personally, not for your company, not for your team, not for anybody or any organization. That's not, that's not a realistic expectation. Is it a goal? Yeah, it's great. It's a great goal to have, but it's not that's not a realistic expectation is it a goal yeah it's great it's a great goal to have but it's not real and it's it's not real just the same way as every single day that you wake up you don't have an amazing day or you don't feel like having an amazing day you know for me it's fucking hit or miss sometimes i wake up and i feel great sometimes i wake up and i'm like fuck everybody i want to burn this motherfucker to the ground and I'll fucking kill you all. That's where the fuck I'm at. But here's the difference.
Starting point is 00:15:48 When I feel like that on the second day, which by the way, today was one of those days. I wake up and you know what I do? The same shit I would do on the days that I feel fucking great. And that's where you have to fucking understand it as a leadership and running a company is the same thing. Yes, you're going to have days where the vibe's off. Yes, you're going to have times and stretches where things aren't good. And the best thing that you can do is to retrace the steps of where they slightly got off track. Because dude, the reality is, is if you're operating, let's just say on a linear scale.
Starting point is 00:16:19 And if you're watching on YouTube, you can see what I'm doing with my hands. But on audio, you know, just picture you have a point in time to, in your left hand, and you're trying to get to the point in time in your right hand. And it's a straight line, right? Here's the deal. If you just get off one degree over here, you know, whereas you would normally just move straight to here to here. Right. But if you just get off one degree and you go over here, you end up over here. It's a massive difference. So like you have to retrace the steps of what where your team got off track where the fundamentals were missed and this is also so real man well dude this is also why you have to have a good grip on what your systematic situation is because if you don't understand your own systems in your business
Starting point is 00:16:59 and you don't understand how you're getting from a to b which the shortest distance from a to b is a straight line. If you don't have a systemized to do that, it's very hard to go back and retrace steps. It becomes a game of luck or how most people call momentum. They're like, oh, I fucking magically got momentum. Momentum is not magic. It's very simple. You force your way through one day at a time. Just the same thing for live hard bro 75 hard like when people start it the first fucking day you get through it the second day you get through it the third day you get through it by day 15 you want to fucking die but like by
Starting point is 00:17:37 day 22 you got momentum and the reason that you were able to get momentum is not because it was magical it's because you forced your way step by step by step by step until momentum just kicked in and so momentum is not some magical fairy dust that we get sprinkled on our heads or some uh thing that happens randomly it's it's something we create and once you do it once you understand that you can create momentum and not only can you create momentum you should create momentum because and then when you have momentum, you have to do as much as you can to keep it going for as long as possible because an object in motion tends to stay in motion. It's no different with you. It's no different with your business. It's no different with all that.
Starting point is 00:18:17 And when you stall out, you have to get behind it, start pushing that big ass rock up the hill again until you get to the point where it starts rolling down. That takes more conscious effort. But the reality is, is that's how it works, man. You have to manufacture it. You set a point there, man. And, like, dude, it hit me really deep because it's such – I feel like it's so valuable and it makes sense. It hit you in the guts?
Starting point is 00:18:37 It did. Yeah? All the way up there in the guts, huh? Because when you look at your companies, right, and you have these – Knocked your guts out? It did, yeah. But when you look at – like, you know, when I look at your know when you look at your companies right and you have that's out it did yeah but but when you look at like you know when i look at your companies that you have right the companies that have been built and the standards they did and the standards the standards that you have and how it's always like you mentioned the one degree one degree off and
Starting point is 00:19:00 you end up somewhere completely different yeah it's the standards and typically when people fuck that up it's because they missed those small little fucking things well yeah you know i just think that was a massive point that like i mean i don't want it to get missed man like that's super fucking it's super important well look dude it's this is not magic it's it's just not it's practical shit yeah you know and like once you understand that you're fully in control of creating momentum then why the fuck would you not create it yeah you know what i mean yeah like dude you guys right now that you're sitting you're sitting here listening to this and you're like fuck it's monday i gotta get my shit together i'm fat i'm fucking this i'm fucking that blah blah blah blah bro start with today start with today make today the day that you look back and you say fuck man
Starting point is 00:19:42 that's when my life fucking changed yeah Okay. Start with today. Force yourself through it. And guess what? Tomorrow, force yourself through that and force yourself through Wednesday. You can't force yourself through the next fucking 20 fucking days to catch some momentum. It might not even take 20 days. It might take five. It might take seven. It might take 11. I don't know, but I can tell you, dude, if you do it for enough time, which isn't that much time, I'm not talking about a hundred days. I'm talking less than fucking 20 days. You're going to start to catch the momentum and you're going to feel it. And it's going to start to become automatic. And dude, it's a lot easier to row your boat when you got some wind in your sails. You know what I'm saying? Absolutely. So like once you understand this, the whole game changes. Like once you
Starting point is 00:20:23 understand that you're not at the mercy of the fucking magical world, which a lot of people like to believe a lot of people like to believe, Oh man, it's just not going well right now. Well, the reason ain't going well right now is because you're not fucking executing on the shit.
Starting point is 00:20:35 You know, you know, you're supposed to do. It's real talk. Now, are there life circumstances that make our lives fucking hard? Yeah, dude,
Starting point is 00:20:42 people die. You fucking bad shit happens. Blow your shoulder out, bro. Yeah, dude. People die. Bad shit happens. Blow your shoulder out. Dude, exactly. There's all kinds of things that happen, which is even more the reason why you want to understand how to create momentum because, dude, if you're not in control and something bad
Starting point is 00:20:57 happens, then you're really out of control. And sometimes bad shit happens and it's all you can do to keep from just fucking melting the fuck down by just handling your business on a day by day basis. So it's very, very important. It's not just important to success. It's important to enduring the nature of life that we understand how much we're actually in control of. Because, dude, if we don't understand how much we're actually in control of and we don't have the discipline to control those things, then we're fucking we're a plastic bag floating in the fucking wind, bro.
Starting point is 00:21:29 And that's no way to live. That's a highly anxious, highly frustrating, massively depressing, confusing way to live. And, you know, and you don't have to live like that. It's real simple to change it. Yeah. So setting realistic expectations for the team, understanding that good days and bad days, you still have to live like that. It's real simple to change it. So setting realistic expectations for the team, understanding that good days and bad days you still have to execute. What's something else that can get this team back into their action?
Starting point is 00:21:54 Well, like I said, you go back and retrace their steps, figure out where they got off course, fix that, and then explain it to them. Okay, look, here, I've identified where we got off course. I know you guys are frustrated right now, but here's where we got off. All right. So all we got to do is fix this one little thing, this one degree, and we're going to be back on track. And usually when people understand what the problem is and that it's been addressed, they start to find a little bit of enthusiasm about moving down the right path. And then you just build on that, man. Yeah, yeah. Love it.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Guys, Andy, question number two. Andy, what is the best way to support an entrepreneurial spouse? I know that there are a lot of things that are helpful, for example, handling all the non-biz life things, but it just never feels enough. What's the best way to support them, especially in the first few years when they are working seemingly 26 hours a day? Any insight on that? You got to be patient. I know this to be true. If you don't have someone that's willing to row
Starting point is 00:23:03 the boat with you, you can't really get very far. If you have like, there's three stages of this, right? Let's just say you got a boat and you're in the boat and you're in the boat with your spouse. And there's three ways they can be. They can either ride in the boat and be neutral.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Right. But that's not actually neutral because the boat's hard to row. Right. Wait. Okay. Or they can row the boat with you, which helps, right? Or they can throw anchors in the water behind the boat and slow you to fuck down. And those are the three stages of what relationship, what kind of relationship you have.
Starting point is 00:23:37 You have one of those three things. Yeah. And I can tell you this for sure, that you cannot achieve high levels of success without someone who's helping row the boat. You just can't do it. It cannot be neutral. It cannot be throwing anchors in the water. So that's the first thing to understand. And unfortunately, that's uncomfortable for people because people realize like, fuck, I'm with this person who, you know, I like for certain reasons, right right like maybe you're super attracted to them maybe maybe you've just been with them for a long time yeah uh you know but you you look at them and
Starting point is 00:24:12 you realize that they are actually throwing anchors in the boat and you start you try to tolerate it but dude i'm telling you you can't get where you want to go and so it's you know what do you do in that situation what the fuck do you think i would save to do right you know what i'm saying you got to make some fucking changes or you got to evaluate what you actually want do you actually want this or do you actually want this but here's the thing i will tell you young bucks about this is if you have someone who nags you and throws anchors in the boat when you're trying hard when you stop trying they're going to bitch about the boat not moving oh man okay so like now that well dude it's true so they're going to fucking come at you either way it's a character flaw people that nag nag for positive or negative reasons so like you have to fucking understand that like the likelihood
Starting point is 00:24:55 of and so here's the here's the danger in that right a lot of young bucks a lot of people will give up on their dreams for this person and then this person turns like they stop moving towards where they want to go and then this person ends up like ruining their lives and then they end up bitter because they gave up on where they were trying to go and this person never really did anything and that it ends up real bad so like being aligned with someone is super super important that's the first part uh how to support them? Dude, that's a unique situation in every single case. And also, it's a unique situation in different phases of business. In the beginning phases of business, being patient and being tolerant and understanding that investments are being made. And that might mean you don't get to go on vacation, or you don't go to dinners, or you don't get the new car, or you don't get you know the new car um or you don't get you know the jewelry or the
Starting point is 00:25:45 fucking you know whatever it is or you know uh if you're if you're if it's your wife working you don't get the fucking home-cooked meals you gotta you gotta fuck you might have to start cook that's right like dude there's it's you get what i'm saying absolutely like and uh it's just it's just working as a team you know like it's understanding that you're a fucking team. And, you know, I think a lot of people fuck this up because they tit for tat their relationship. I do this. So you got to do that. And they keep this score. But the reality is, is dude, the only score that matters is where the fuck you're going to end up. And so, you know, there can't be like this, this tit for tat situation either. So there's a lot to be said for this, man.
Starting point is 00:26:28 But dude, I'm no relationship expert. I don't like to talk about relationships because I think they're hard and I don't think anybody has it figured out. And it seems to me that everybody that pretends like they have it figured out ends up being embarrassed publicly when their shit falls apart. Because dude, that's what happens sometimes. Relationships fall apart yeah and um i really don't listen to anybody who thinks like these people out there that try to promote themselves as the perfect couple or the marriage or perfect
Starting point is 00:26:53 this or that because like dude i've been around long enough to see these same lose all their shit so like i think it's it's a case-by-case basis you have to decide what's right for you and uh no two relationships uh are ever the same and it's about finding-by-case basis. You have to decide what's right for you. And no two relationships are ever the same. And it's about finding something that works for the goals that you both mutually have. But like I said, the first thing that has to happen is that you have to have a situation where you're in a relationship with someone who wants to row the boat to the same place that you want to row it to. Yeah, absolutely, man. I love it. Yeah. Andy, our third and final question,
Starting point is 00:27:25 switching gears here just a little bit. Andy, you've talked a lot about how the formal education system needs to be burned to the ground and redone. What needs to be done and how would you do it? Hmm. Man, President Andy. Yeah. What would I actually do?
Starting point is 00:27:44 I would ban all. President Andy, what would I actually do? I would ban all, okay, first of all, I would raise the salary of all teachers to like 250 grand and we would subsidize it through tax dollars. Across the board. As a minimum. Okay. Okay, and the reason I would do that is not to reward the level of teachers that we have now,
Starting point is 00:28:02 but to attract actual good people that want to care about these kids, but also have to pay for their fucking livelihood. Because personally, I believe that part of the reason that we have a lot of, not all, we have a lot of good teachers out there, okay? And I get caught up in like generalizing, just like a lot of you guys do
Starting point is 00:28:22 and a lot of other people do. But we have to acknowledge there's a lot of great fucking teachers out there to give a lot of fucks. Okay. Those people shouldn't, in my opinion, shouldn't struggle to pay their bills when they're spending their entire lives pouring into other people's children. All right. So if we can up the pay scale, which we could easily do, okay. You know, we send fucking how much money to Ukraine this year. Uh, you know, all these wasteful things like, dude, look, I'll clean this bitch up real quick. All right. We can pay these teachers to, you know, 250 grand, let's say understanding that's a premium pay position. And what that will do is that will attract better talent and better
Starting point is 00:29:01 skill level into the teaching profession, which will allow us to move out some of these crazy fuckers that just it'll create a level of competition to where those crazy people we can fucking weed them the fuck out we don't need them because right now the only reason those people exist is because they can't find people to fucking teach right all right can't find people to teach because they ain't no money in it that's right yeah that's right makes sense okay here we go. Getting it. So we start subsidizing with tax dollars instead of sending them to
Starting point is 00:29:31 fucking Ukraine or fucking Africa or fucking wherever, South America. Gender studies. Yeah, whatever the fuck we're sending them to across the board. And then we're like, dude, I could go on and on with this question. We would make it illegal for them to fucking get political kickbacks from our tax dollars, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But we'll keep it on education right now. So you have to pay, you weed out the
Starting point is 00:29:55 fucking, the people who are teaching this crazy shit, like, uh, you know, the, the sexualization of children when they're in fucking kindergarten and, uh, you know, the, the political views and, and all the indoctrination that's happening. We're going to remove that from the T from schools. And we are going to go back to teaching schools skill sets. All right. And not only are we going to go back, we're going to improve because what we're actually going to teach our kids is
Starting point is 00:30:20 how to actually fucking win and produce results in reality, not an idealistic because what they're doing now is they're trying to indoctrinate generations of kids uh into creating this idealistic world that actually doesn't work in reality it's not gonna work it's not gonna work because it defies the laws of natural order yeah so we teach our kids the truth we teach them that competition matters we go back to the way that I was raised, which was, if you want to win, you got to be fucking good. Okay. That's a helpful thing for kids to understand. We teach them actual history. We teach them true shit. Uh,
Starting point is 00:30:54 we're not politicizing and, um, get back to, you know, integrating the schools together so that our culture can learn to communicate and work together. One of the best things that I loved about growing up and going to public school growing up was that we were desegregation program. And I didn't value this until I actually went to high school where it wasn't like that. So when I went to grade school, it was like half black, half white. And what happened was you didn't really learn to see color because everybody was there and you learned how to communicate and you you learned each other's culture and you became cool and it was cool you know what i'm saying like hey dude what'd you bring to lunch today yeah potato salad with raisins yeah fuck off i bought that cream soda too bitch
Starting point is 00:31:40 so so so dude but it's important it is important yeah and um you know that's i don't know there's lots of things you could do but i think i think upping the standards of pay upping the standards of qualifications recruiting new talent recruiting new people into the education system uh and then making it based upon, you know, meritocracy, not on diversity inclusion. So it's not like, you know, oh, we have this many female teachers or this many minority teachers or this or this, this. It's a, hey, who's the fucking best. Right. Right. And we get back to that. Right. And that would fix a lot of shit. Yeah. That would fix a lot of shit. I love it. You know, you could fix a lot of things with our own tax money, dude.
Starting point is 00:32:27 This is the math nobody wants to look at. You could actually lower our all-in tax rate to 10% to 15% and do this with the education system and the policing system and the military and still fucking make it worth math. Reagan did it. Dude, it can be done. Yeah. Because people don't because people
Starting point is 00:32:45 don't understand the math they don't understand you know but the math it works so i don't know man i think there's a lot of things that can be done but uh you know critical race theory needs to be fucking gone that's fucking bullshit you cannot teach little black children that they're going to have uh impossible time being successful because the entire system is rigged against them. That's the exact opposite of what children need. Children need to be told they can be anything. They need to be shown they can be anything. And they need to be shown that they can be anything by actually putting in the work, not because they were born a certain way.
Starting point is 00:33:21 All right. You can't tell little white kids that because they were white and there's nothing they can do about it that they're fucking racist whatever you earn needs to go to other dude listen we're totally we're fucking so far off track of reality in our education system it's absurd yeah um so let me so i mean because we talk about the overreach of government just quickly on this so do you think that that's something that would fall like should that some be something that falls in the hands of the federal government to oversee or would you still allow that to be up to the state level i think the more power that resides in the state the better the union yeah for sure yeah my that's my but if they're gonna get some federal dollars
Starting point is 00:34:02 these are some things they gotta i think i think the size of the federal government should go way down. States should have most of the power. And that way, there's a reality to, you know, you can choose where you want to live under what kind of leadership, what kind of people. But even if you did that, even if that was the case that we had right now, which it's not, are you moving to California right now?
Starting point is 00:34:24 Fuck off. Oh, I'm being real. I'm asking you guys out here. Like you, it's a statistical fact. More people are leaving California than have ever left before. They are the ones that have the most implementation of all these progressive
Starting point is 00:34:36 policies. Yeah. And we can see how it's working in real time. It's destroying the most, probably the most beautiful state in this fucking country. Yeah. And the reverse of that, if you, if you do want those ideals and you do want, go move to California. Huh?
Starting point is 00:34:50 Yeah, that's right. But nobody wants to move there because it's a shithole. Okay? And it's not only that, it's an expensive shithole. That's the biggest fucking scam ever. Yeah. But the point is, is that we're in a situation now where um there's going to have to be some real conversations that happen about what we want our future to look like and you know some of these fixes that
Starting point is 00:35:12 like dude if the if the if the laws were enforced properly we wouldn't really have any issues people like oh we got to burn the whole system now i don't know man like if we would just enforce them like the way they're supposed to be the way they're written without the loopholes yeah uh it would work yeah you know what i'm saying yeah that's real man but the teaching thing you know like i think reality is is we have a lot of teachers listening to the show dude in fact a lot of teachers actually let their kids listen to my show which is debatable if i approve of that or not but the reality is is, is that's one thing about the new MFCEO. There's far less,
Starting point is 00:35:49 there's far less cursing than there was. Just because I think I curse less generally. But the point is, is like, dude, we could fix a lot of these things really easily. But like the problem is, is we have so much corruption at the top that they're, they're not allowing us to fix it because it's intentionally fucked up. You know, like
Starting point is 00:36:10 people ask, well, why are they teaching our kids to not compete? Why are they teaching our kids to not love this country? Why are they teaching our kids that, you know, it's not a meritocracy, but it depends on who you are and how you were born and what gender you are, what race you are to regards of what sort of treatment you get. Why aren't we teaching, you know, to win? You have to be good. Why aren't we teaching to judge people on the content of their character, not on the color of their skin?
Starting point is 00:36:38 Why aren't we teaching things like personal finance and how to actually operate a household in school? Why aren't we teaching how to manage credit? why aren't we teaching all of these things well the answer is very simple it's because it's intentional and it's intentional because they want you they want you and your kids and your kids kids to be dependent on their systems and the way they keep you dependent on their systems by keeping you in the dark on the reality of the skills that you need to operate in real life and this is the fucking problem that we have in this country right now we have an intentional set of rules that has been placed into our education system to make people believe certain things and this is not new this has been going on for 20
Starting point is 00:37:19 years to make people believe certain things that make them a slave to the system by default. Okay. And when you ask yourself, well, why? Well, why do you think? Because the more people that are dependent on them, the more their fascist system, which is fascist, by the way, the government works with the big business, works with big tech, and they all collude on this fucking narrative. It's a communist narrative, too.
Starting point is 00:37:44 You'll wake up to this one day. You guys may a communist narrative too. You'll wake up to this. Whether you, one day you guys may think I'm crazy. You'll wake up to this. This is a communist fucking insurgency across the board. The reason they want to do that is because they want you fat. They want you sick. They want you lazy. They want you at home consuming data, consuming food, consuming medicine. And they, that's their business plan. Their business plan is not freedom. Their business plan is not healthy, happy, uh, real life, uh, you know, fit, wealthy, like successful, like, dude, do you know how successful people could really be dude? If we changed the situation in our government regarding the tax code, right? Like if we just made some simple changes to the tax code our government regarding the tax code, right?
Starting point is 00:38:28 Like if we just made some simple changes to the tax code, you would, the bit like, unless you've owned a business and you understand how taxes work, you do not know what the fuck you're talking about when it comes to businesses paying their fair share. You don't fucking get it. Okay. You all are told this lie,
Starting point is 00:38:43 you know, to say, Oh, well, business owners, if they, if they, we had less less taxes they would just take more money home that's not true because greed actually creates more jobs because for them to make if they had less tax and they realize they can make more money when they may realize they have to make more money they're gonna fucking hire more people create more careers you understand what i'm saying but they make going to fucking hire more people, create more careers. You understand what I'm saying? Absolutely. But they make it seem like, oh, these people, like, dude, these motherfuckers that you're
Starting point is 00:39:09 talking about are smart. They're going to get their money anyway. The shit rolls downhill. Listen, they're going to get their money anyway. People think like, oh, if we cut taxes on these businesses, then that's going to mean that they're just going to take it home, buy another fucking Bugatti. No motherfucker. They're going to realize that if they reinvest that money into their company, which creates more careers, more opportunities that they're going to make fucking 10 times the amount of money they're making now. Okay. And the ethical ones, which,
Starting point is 00:39:38 you know, that's arguable. A lot of people think, oh, well, these guys are all fucking dicks. Not all of them. Okay. Because the ethical ones will share a lot of that profit with the people that build the company this happens every day but those stories are never told right the only story that's told is the story of the greedy entrepreneur that fucks everybody because that serves their narrative nope we don't talk we don't talk about the answer i'm saying where they don't even name those people where are those people at who are those people then dude they don't talk about who are That's what I'm saying. They don't even name those people. Where are those people at? Who are those people then? Dude, they don't talk about that. Who are those businesses? That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:40:08 And those are the ones that we should be supporting. Right. They don't talk about, you know, the houses that these certain companies, certain companies pay to build in their own city. They don't talk about the generation or the, how they help with all the fucking causes that are going on in their own
Starting point is 00:40:25 town. They don't, people don't talk about those things. Amazon ain't fucking doing that. Fucking big tech ain't doing that. They're spending $400 million to fucking squeeze out a bullshit election in Georgia. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:40:37 They're not built. They're not taking that $400 million to reinvest in the community, but I know tons of small business and medium business operators that do it every fucking day. But those are the people that are told that you're told through the news that they're just greedy fucks and they don't do their shit
Starting point is 00:40:52 and they did blah, blah, blah. And then, you know, you come to work, you look full of fucking hate this fucking job and I fucking hate my boss and I hate this and I hate... Bro, you're buying their shit hook, line, and sinker. You're part of the problem.
Starting point is 00:41:04 As you scroll on amazon and yeah right bro as as you as you get pissed off at your local small business and then still go buy from amazon and don't dude that's what i'm saying and so there's just there's a lot of things wrong right now but the good news is is that if you got the right people in office you could fix it real quick that's real You know, I think people have to have a really, really deep discussion and thought process over what you want this country to look like long-term and what you're willing to do to contribute to that. You know, cause it starts with our own example. It starts with us. It starts with our own standards. It starts with how we live. It
Starting point is 00:41:41 starts with the standards that we hold and other people will pay attention to that. That's why I always say, dude, personal excellence is ultimate rebellion. If we all removed ourselves from being customers of their fucking machine, they won't have a machine. See what I'm saying? Ain't no gas in it. That's it. That's it.
Starting point is 00:41:58 That's real. Real shit, man. Love it. Well, guys, Andy, that was three. That's three. Go pay the fee. We're sleeping on the floor. We'll see you next week. We'll see you next week.
