It was a little bit of a controversial decision what'd you think dude i i think in order to beat a champ you have to beat the champ and i don't think the pluses really beat him beat him that's what i thought too bro i thought strickland should have won that fight the first two rounds were definitely strickland the second two were duplessy and the last round was strickland yeah that's how i saw it too yeah man it was unfortunate i really like strickland how do you become a judge like what's that process like huh i don't know you know that'd be cool to do i don't know this but i i know i'm a big fan of sean strickland dude he's a great guy he exercises his freedom of speech. We talk about exercise

the rights. It's not given. You gotta exercise it. That's it. That's what he does. This is how freedom of speech maintains itself and you can agree or disagree with anything that he says but the fact that he says whatever he wants to say is the important part. What happened to him? What's the backlash?

He got more popular. Did he get fired? No. He has become the most popular UFC fighter right now. I think he's the most popular guy right now. Right now, easily. Yes. Yeah. And all he did was just talk. Say what he thinks.

Yeah. It's amazing what can happen. Very simple. Yeah. So, anyway, I think we're going to try. We were just talking. I think we're going to try to hit that Mike Chandler, Conor McGregor fight in June.

Yeah. Let's go. We got to fucking go. Let's go. Mike Chandler should be right down the road here, man. You got to support hometown, bro. He's a great fucking guy. And I like Conor, too.

So it's like. Yeah. I love Guinness. I'm going to be rooting for Mike Chandler. No question. USA, baby. Yeah, that's right. From St. Louis. That's right. You got question usa baby yeah that's right from st louis

that's right you gotta you gotta do it that's right yeah sweet man well let's get into these questions guys remember if you want to uh you can send these questions and email them in ask andy at andy for seller.com guys andy question number one andy i'm a professional actor in the tv film industry within the last few years it's clear that hollywood is nothing but corrupt how could someone like me who's been in the industry almost 10 years, who's put their blood, sweat, and tears into something, be part of a crooked community when my ideals and beliefs don't align with Hollywood's? I fear that my career won't advance if I don't see eye to eye with the decision makers of the industry. Any thoughts on this? Yeah, I mean, I think there's a lot of different angles on this.

First of all, I think, I think we got to recognize that Hollywood's always been full of shit. All right. This isn't just the last couple of years. It's just that the last couple of years it's been, it's become very obvious. So that's the first thing. Um, second thing is, you know, we live in this day and age where you don't have to be beholden to Hollywood to become influential or successful in the entertainment world. You know, most of the most successful entertainers on the planet are on YouTube now. And these are independent people. These are people who independently create content and then get paid through sponsorship deals, you know, and then monetizing their platform in different ways. And a lot of these guys make way more money than any of these hollywood people do um third of all

i think if you're going to recognize what's happening in the world we have to acknowledge that the momentum is swinging back towards common sense and away from very progressive woke ideology because we're what we're seeing is every movie that comes out that's ultra woke, so to speak, is floundering and flopping. And these actors who continue to push this are just driving their careers further and further and further down. We could go back four years and look at some of the biggest actors in the world and then fast forward to today and look at the ideology that they push, this woke leftist shit, and their careers are significantly reduced

and in a worse off place than they were four years ago. And some of them are understanding it and some of them aren't. But those people, if they stay on that same line, they're going to continue to flounder. And it's just like any other product in a free market. If your product's no good and the consumer is rejecting it, you don't continue to try to force them to buy it. And so this is free market capitalism working, filtering out the product that is rejected by the people and demanding the product that is, you know, wanted by the people.

And if we're being honest, I mean, my show, this show we're doing right here is evidence of that. You know, the show, this show is five times bigger than it was when I did MFCEO project. And it's because we come on here and speak the truth. It's very similar to what we were talking about Sean Strickland, right? So we have to understand all these concepts and basically, you know, you have a number of options. One, you could go make your own shit and push it out your own way and become independent. And you know, if you're good enough, you could possibly do very well. I don't know how good you are. You know, a lot of people think they're really good at this

stuff and they suck at it. You know, and then they talk about how their shits, you know uh it's not fair and this and that well if you're if you're good you're going to get the views if you're not good you're not going to get the views and that's reality um two you could stick it out because i do think that hollywood's going to have to come back to if they want to survive they're going to have to come back to cultural american values traditional cultural american values um otherwise people are going to stop watching their shit and we've seen this over the last four years so you know that's how i feel about it i i don't i it's not like i think you are out of options i think you just have to look at the situation accurately and try to figure out you know where is your best play

and um you know i wouldn't recommend anybody doing anything that or staying in a situation where they don't, you know, align with the value system. That's a sure way to make yourself miserable. Nobody likes that. And it's not good for you either. So there's plenty of options on the table. You could stay there and things are going to get better because the culture is shifting the right way. The momentum is swinging towards common sense. The momentum is swinging towards traditional culture, American values. We see this everywhere we look. And if you're not seeing it yet, it's because you're not paying attention. Or you can go out and do some independent stuff.

That's what I would recommend. Yeah. I love it, man. Yeah. I mean, look, dude. I mean, it is definitely changing me. No, for sure, dude. And you I love it, man. Yeah. I mean, look, dude, it's, I mean, it is definitely changing me. No, for sure, dude. And you could see it in the numbers and these people who promote these, the people who've been pushing this, they have unlimited amounts of money, right?

But even if you have unlimited amounts of money and you continue to push this narrative, like, dude, if you go, you could see interviews of Larry Fink, who's the CEO of BlackRock talking about how they want to change or force change behavior, right? Amongst the employees by pushing down certain cultural values through organizations. And this includes Hollywood, but even people with unlimited amounts of money are going to get tired of losing that much money. And what's going to end up happening, which will eventually get them to switch, is that it's not about the money they're losing. It's about the influence that they're losing. And so Hollywood, you have to look at Hollywood for what it really is. Hollywood is not for

entertainment. It's for influence. Okay. It's not about us going to the movies or us clicking on Netflix and watching something and saying oh man this is a great movie i loved it that's what it used to be 20 years ago all right but it's not that anymore what it is now is how can we drive a certain social social narrative for people to adopt behavior so they make certain things look like everybody else thinks they're cool and they push it out hoping that it will curve behavior in society and it's propaganda that's what this is and so what what's going to happen is when they lose their influence they're going to go back to the thing to build credibility what's the world economic forums uh main objective

right now main objective rebuild now? Main objective, rebuild trust because they've eroded it and they realize they don't have the influence they once had. So to get the influence back, they're going to have to do what communist ideology typically does, which is push, push, push, push, push, step back, step back, push, push, push, push, push, step back, step back. And we're entering one of those step back, step back phases. But the problem is, is their own mechanism for awareness and influence is blowing up in their face called the internet to where too many people recognize what's going on. So I don't think they're going to be able to recover the trust aspect. And if you think about

how most people behave, you know, it's, it takes a very confident, almost high testosterone alpha type person to stand alone and say, I believe this, whether you all believe it or not. All right. And most people just can't do that. Most people will make decisions based around what they say they believe based around what the other people think so it's safe because they can't actually defend themselves physically. Okay? So these people can't physically defend themselves. So the safe decision is to agree with what everybody else thinks.

And the whole game of Hollywood is to make it seem like everybody thinks this so that people will go along with whatever the initiative is so that they can curve behavior. So what we really need to understand is why people say they believe things that they don't actually believe. And it's because they're afraid. And the reason that they actually say that they believe these things is because they think that everybody else believes them. But when everybody else starts to stand up and say, I don't fucking believe that, which is happening right now, now these people lose their structure of influence, so to speak. So I think we are in for some major cultural change moving forward, which is something that I've been talking about for a very long time.

But you have to understand that most people aren't going to stand up on their own and say, hey, I disagree with the whole entire world because they're not able to and this comes down to a very basic psychology you know like i mean and and people people are going to disagree with me on this and this is fine but like bro i'm six i'm six one 260 fucking pounds bro well not today 246 today. But I'm not too worried about getting my ass beat pretty much by anybody. You know what I'm saying? It might happen, but I'm not worried about it. I don't walk around in fear.

Most people walk around in fear. Most people walk around incapable to stand on their own opinion because they don't have the ability to defend themselves intellectually or physically so they adopt the mentality of the herd. And this is why we see this collective mindset that's been going on to defend themselves intellectually or physically so they adopt the mentality of the herd and this is why we see this collective mindset that's been going on for the last few years uh where people will say one thing you know like we see these tweets right these tweets that say shit like uh you know fuck donald trump he should be arrested. Right. And then the same person will write a tweet two years later and say,

uh, people calling for the arrest of Joe Biden are insane. They're blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right.

Like it's, it's, it's just because these people are echoing the opinion of the collective because they are weak individuals. And so we have to understand the psychology of the group and how that plays into how culture flows and how it moves. And we are entering a phase where it's becoming increasingly obvious to a large number of people that a lot of the shit going on in the world is not okay. Okay.

And as that happens, as the collective starts to wake up, people become more comfortable with standing on their own opinion. And that's a big deal. And I don't think they're going to be able to recover their ability to influence the way that they have. So if you're in this position, you know, I think you can go a number of the ways like we discussed, but I think ultimately what we're going to see is we're going to see entertainment and culture and everything go back to traditional American values in some way, shape, or form. I'm not saying it's going to go back to 1950s apple pie and plaid tablecloths, but we're going to find a sweet spot where comedy's funny, people accept people, there's not bigotry, everybody's getting along, which is what they're trying to avoid from happening.

Because when that happens, when culture finds that sweet spot of all of us getting along, all of us having a sense of humor, all of us working together, that's called fucking unity. And if we're united, they can't win. So it's naturally happening.

And I can see it happening. But traditionally, you know, I'm usually a year or two ahead of it playing out. So we'll see what happens, but that's what I think is going to happen. I love it, man. Guys, Andy, question number two. Hey, Andy, my boss came up to me and asked if I wanted to train the new guy at work. This is the first person I'll be training. I'm a super hard worker and have a bunch of drive and passion to be the new guy at work. This is the first person I'll be training. I'm a super hard worker

and have a bunch of drive and passion to be the best person or diesel mechanic that I can be. Do you have any tips on being a good teacher and trying to get the new job to have passion and drive just like I do? Well, there's a lot to that question. okay? Yes, you could teach someone to be a great diesel mechanic. But the question that you're asking is, how do you train someone to love being a diesel mechanic? And I'm not sure that you could train that. The only way that you could truly train that is if someone has a little bit of an interest in that naturally, and you're able to somehow tie a bigger purpose to that job to where they become more and more and more passionate, right? For example, like in our business, you know, our main

businesses are all in the nutrition space. You know, a lot of people like to work out. A lot of people like to eat right. A lot of people like to look good. And they come into our ecosystem very excited to work in that space, right? Because they like it. But when you start to make them understand how much it impacts other people's lives and the change that you can have on other people's lives, that's what gets them truly passionate and truly excited. I believe that true passion doesn't come from us wanting things in a selfish way. It comes from us providing things of value and creating value in other people and being able to observe their growth and then feel good that we contributed to it. And that's what real passion is about, right?

Like, so how do you do that with a diesel mechanic? I'm not sure, man, but I'm sure there's a lot of guys that work on diesel mechanics that fucking can figure that out. Yeah, for sure. You know what I mean? So we're talking about technical training

versus like personal development training. And I think if you're ever going to become an amazing leader, you've got to be able to train on the technical, which is whatever point of interest that you are working inside of, but you also have to be good at training someone how to, how to personally develop themselves. And I think a lot of managers and a lot of leaders of organizations, whether it be a team, a business, uh, or whatever, a church, the reason they struggle is because they abandon the personal development training and just focus on the technical training. And I think to be great, you have to have both.

A great leader, you have to have both. So if I were you, I would focus on developing that person's character, developing that person's discipline, developing that person's ability to operate as a human being, and then work from there. Can we push a little bit on the idea of the technical training, being able to develop that? That's a fundamental basic, right? You have to have that. But then taking it a step further and trying to develop that person personally, on a professional level, personal mental level, right? What do you see is the biggest biggest hang up with that though?

Because like, what do you look for? How do you know that person? I mean, is it like a little gleam in their eye that you, okay, this kid's got it. I know he's going to be interested in this. Like, how do you, like, how does that work? Because you got some guys that just come in just for the money, right? Like I'm just here. Yeah, and there's going to be a lot of those people there.

I have a saying for that. Okay. And the saying is the world needs fry cooks too. You can't have a great hamburger joint without people making great French fries. You can't have a great company without people that are great at packing boxes. Like there's going to be people who will do that for their entire lives.

And that doesn't mean that they're not valuable. It just means they're very good at that. And so we have to understand that. But ultimately, I think if you want to bring someone out in a personal development way, the most important thing that you have to do to even be able to see the glimmer that you're talking about is being able to live that example every day yourself, right? When people see you living and doing a great job and a great life, let's say you're the best decent mechanic in the world, right? But

you're also fit. You're also healthy. You're also intelligent. You're also working to be the best that you can be. That's going to inspire that person because that's a cultural difference and a cultural abnormality to most jobs yeah you're changing the definition of what that diesel mechanic is correct yeah so so that comes from our example yeah and that's why that's why i tell you guys so often that personal excellence is the ultimate rebellion because it's very hard to change anybody unless you change yourself first it's impossible actually so and that's where a lot of leaders fuck up they show up they're 100 pounds overweight they they drink five nights a week and they can't get their people to perform or be any better and they're shocked as to why because they're paying them well bro that's pay

you're paying them for the technical you're not paying them for the character the character has to be developed through the example that you set you see what i'm saying absolutely man so that it's you know i think it's cool that that that this guy's asking this question um because i don't think i've ever gotten a question like this around around building diesel engines yeah you know what i mean but it's really cool that there's people out here who are... Who take that level of care. Yeah, they're fucking blue collar. They're working with their hands.

They're building shit. They're doing shit that matters. And they give a fuck about the quality of human being that they are and the quality of the human being that is around them. And that exact want

that this man is expressing for his younger people that he's got around him is exactly what's going to change the country. This is what I talk about. This is what I'm talking about when I say personal excellence is the ultimate rebellion. Be better. Set a better example because when you set a better example, they become better and we have a better community. This is what I'm talking about. So I really, really love that question. But it's going to come down to the example that you're setting through your own life. And when you set a great example through your own life and you're doing a great job technically, but you're also living a great life and being a great example of an American and a human,

other people are going to want to join you. And this is proof. Yeah. Yeah, man. I love it. All right, guys, Andy, our third and final question. Question number three. Andy, at what point did you even think about or realize there was time to start delegating some of your responsibilities to the team? I run a very small improvement company and have a few guys working under me. I am on the majority of job sites with them to ensure the work is being done to our standard and as well as doing all the behind the scenes work. I struggle with leaving my team on their own to work on tasks that grow the business because I've been burned in the past. What advice do you have for me? Well, first of all, there's nothing wrong

with being involved as much as you want to be. The problem is, is that you have to understand that if you're going to be someone who wants to have their hands on every single part of the business at all times, you can only get so big. You can't get very big at all. Actually, when we started in business, it took us five and a half years to get our second store open. And had I not had the fear of delegation and the fear that we could find people to do the job that we needed to do, we would have been much further along at this point in time.

Because I could have done what we did the first 10 years in the first five years. Um, but we were afraid. I was afraid people were going to steal. I was afraid that people were going to let me down. I was afraid that people weren't going to do as good enough job. And you know what happened? All of that. Yeah. So, so we have to understand you can choose to be the person who has their hands on every aspect of the business, but you can't choose to be that person who has their hands on every aspect of the business, but you can't choose to be that person and also grow your business to a large scale type business in any way, shape, or form. So delegating is a necessity if you want to grow a bigger company. And, you know, when it comes to delegating, you have to realize like go go drive up the main

road in your in your city look at all the companies look at all the businesses you're not the first fucking person to ever have to deal with this every single business that we operate or that we are customers of that operates has to deal with delegation so you don't think you can do it too? You see what I'm saying? It's an irrational fear that holds a lot of people back and it keeps people broke and struggling when in reality, if they understood that most people want to be on a winning team,

most people want to be part of something cool, most people want to contribute and help build something that's bigger than themselves. Once we realize that, we're free to start delegating things out and becoming the actual personnel developer and leader, which is useful in a number of different ways. It helps grow the company. It helps grow the person. And once you figure out that the better you are delegating and leading, it helps people, the people who work for you earn more money, become more successful in their own,

take care of their family in a better way. It makes sense to learn how to delegate and lead because it actually benefits everybody. It benefits you. It benefits the company. It benefits the employee. It benefits their family. It benefits the customer because you're able to help more customers and do more of what you do. So, you know, it's an irrational fear that a lot of small business owners have, but it's not something that you can't get over. And I think a lot of times, you know, we tell ourselves these stories as entrepreneurs. Yeah, but, you know, my company is just this much more complicated. No, it's fucking not. No, it's not.

You're just telling yourself that because you're confused on how this is actually going to work. And this is where getting into a program like RTA Syndicate or getting around people who've actually scaled companies will be of big help to you. You're afraid of something that you shouldn't be afraid of, and that fear is going to keep you small. It's going to keep you struggling. It's going to keep you struggling. It's going to keep you broke. Now, if you want to remain a small one or two or three person operation, you want to run a small business like that. Great. That's cool too.

Lots of people do that, but you're not going to grow into a, a, an actual bigger company, which it sounds like you want to do without learning how to delegate. It's a big deal. Yeah. I want to actually, so, so I mean, cause it's almost like, how to delegate it's a big deal yeah i want to actually so so i mean because it's almost like you know it's like from what i what i'm hearing is a lot of small business owners they they do their best trying to prevent all of these scenarios from happening the theft or the stealing or the um you know people walking out they're trying to prevent all of these situations from happening so they just don't do anything. Whereas you're saying you probably should, you're better off. Yeah, but hold on. What you just said is the reason that people leave. Yeah. Okay? Because when you're trying to handle everything and

micromanage and take everybody's job, that means that their job is completely unsatisfying and unfulfilling. They're not able to contribute. They're not able to build. You're misunderstanding the nature of most humans. Most humans are built to operate on a team. There are very few leaders and there are a lot of people who want to contribute. And entrepreneur minded people, there's basically three different kinds of people in business. There's entrepreneurs, people who create, design, and build, and they don't need a set of directions to do so. They just do it. Okay. Then there's second tier entrepreneurs, which are franchisees. These are people who need a plan. They need a model. They need a plan to follow, but they also are entrepreneurs. So if you give them a plan, they'll go out and execute it, do very well. These people actually make a fuck ton of money. All right. And then there's entrepreneurs. These are people who work inside these organizations

who need to embody most of the qualities of the entrepreneur, but they also have to be developed into that. All right. And these people want to feel wins. They want to feel like they're contributing. They want to feel like I did this for the brand. I did this for the company. I did this for this project. And they want to be recognized. You know, there's a saying out here, people will work for money, but they'll kill for recognition. And it's because everybody has that deep desire to contribute to a team win.

All right. And so a lot of people can't delegate or develop personnel in their company because they're wired like the entrepreneur, all right? The first guy, or maybe even the second guy. And they look at everybody else and they're like, I don't understand why they would even wanna work for me. Why wouldn't they?

Because dude, you're the abnormality and you can't recognize it because you've lived your whole life being that. How can you recognize that you're an anomaly to everybody else when that's who you've always been? You can't recognize it because it's what you've always done. So you have to understand people in general, the most amount of people, they want to be a part of a team. They want to contribute to the wins. They want to be recognized for their contributions. They want to be paid part of a team. They want to contribute to the wins. They want to be recognized for their contributions. They want to be paid well for their contributions,

but they don't want the fucking stress and the risk and the anxiety and the frustration and the pain and all the shit that the, the first two guys got to take home with them every single day and never escape from, you know, and that's a big problem with the entrepreneur, you know, content space or whatever you want to talk about.

Everybody's out here telling everybody to start a fucking business, bro. These people are going to get fucking killed. Okay. That's what people don't understand. You have to be built for that. All right. You have to be able to tolerate that. You have to be able to have this on your back 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for your entire life. Most people do not want that. And this is why I get so pissed off at these entrepreneur dumbasses out here telling everybody all this shit. Because they're telling people it's easy, it's great, it's free, it's this, it's that, it's this, it's so awesome. When in reality, dude, it's fucking brutal. It's brutal.

And you get your ass beat every day a thousand different ways. And dude, most people don't want that part. They want the part to contribute and you can give them that. They want the part to create and you can give them that. They want the part to get paid well and you can give them that. And you get to keep all the rest of the shit. But most people are of those, of that mindset. They want to contribute. They want to get paid well. They want to be on a winning team, but they want to go home at night and have a regular life. And if you're an entrepreneur

of the, of the first sort, that's not reality, man. And we can talk about balance and we can talk about, you know, I live a perfectly balanced life. Those people are fucking lying. They're lying. I don't know a single entrepreneur who is a tier one entrepreneur, builder, creator that has balance in their life of any sort. And they're successful. It's not reality, dude. It's just not.

And that's why I get so upset with all these people that are just cramming this trying to say that it's not like that yeah man and it's the reason they say it's not like that it's because they never built anything real you can't buy a product from them other than their course you can't shop at their company they don't have fucking hundreds of employees they might have a little assistant over in india or something that fuck you know what i'm saying this is not real business. It's fake business. Doesn't exist. Right.

And they're selling the idea that this is easy. And for everybody to all these people who are going out and getting fucking crushed. This is why I try to tell the truth about the journey that it's so fucking hard. And your only option, if you really want to win in it is to build yourself into someone who can tolerate that path over the course of time.

So, and that's the truth. And I don't care what anybody says. In fact, if I fucking said the other way, like everybody else said, I'd probably fucking have a whole bunch more followers and a lot more success. But I'd also be contributing to the downfall and the personal failure of a lot of people. It's not for everybody, bro. Statistically not. 7% to 8% of the population is built to be entrepreneurs

Less than one percent of those people are actually successful at it It's very very small percentage not saying you can't do it But i'm saying there's plenty of fucking people if you're one of those people that want to be a part of your thing That will help you build your thing And be fucking thrilled to do it If you if you give them the opportunity to do so. And the fear of delegating and, and not understanding that people want to contribute to these things is what

keeps most companies from ever becoming anything. Yeah. I love that, man. It's the truth, man. You know, and I,

I don't, I, it is what it is, man. Even to be a successful entrepreneur, bro, your life's going to be a little bit out of balance. You're still going to have to work your fucking ass off.

The balance thing is not true for anybody trying to do anything great. No, it's just not. It's a fucking fake feel good buzzword on the fucking internet for people to get clicks, likes, and shares. And for overly do-gooder people who have already quit in their life who've already chosen the easy path to judge morally people who

have chosen the harder path that's what it is oh you know what i gave that up because i want to have balance in my life well good but even those people don't have fucking balance like what what is balance it's fucking bullshit bro bro. Yeah. Your life balance. Let's see that bank account balance. Let's see that. Look, dude. And then on top of that, we could talk about,

we could even wrap into this. Look how many people, like I saw this meme the other day that said money's not the goal. Freedom is the goal. Don't ever forget that. Yeah, dumbass. You're correct. But to make money, you have to make money the goal freedom is the goal don't ever forget that yeah dumb ass you're correct but to make

money you have to make money the goal first before you can actually have fucking freedom and this idea that you're going to get x amount of dollars and you're going to be free is actually a why anyway because the more money you make the more responsibility you have we're tied up you are it's fucking it's all wise so that these entrepreneur fucking gurus can sell these kids on a fucking lie this shit's hard it takes a long fucking time it's going to take everything you got and that's that and if you want it you you could do it but you should understand the cost of doing it before you fucking jump into it. The point is there's a whole bunch of people that want to fucking be a part of your thing, but you're not allowing them to be because you want to put your hands all over everything and it's hurting you.

It's hurting them. It's hurting the customer and it's hurting your entire legacy. You have to be able to trust people. You have to understand there's so many great people that want to build with you and create with you and help you do your thing. And as long as you treat them well and give them a great project to work on a great mission, you pay them good and, and get the, they're going to get up in the morning with the same vigor that you get up to win. That's reality. But that you don't know that until you start to delegate like do. And by the way, here's another point of delegation.

Um, you're not the best at everything, bro. I walk in this building every day and there's, I don't think there's anything that I'm the best at. I might be the best. I'm the best in this building at getting on a stage and talking to people. That's what I'm the best at.

Well, you're steering the ship. Hold on. I'm like seeing the iceberg. Yeah. My vision. That's correct. Outside of those two two things there's everybody in this building every single motherfucker has skills that they have that they are better than me at every single person okay so

why the fuck would i try to do their jobs they're better than me at it yeah that's what the fuck you hired them to do this is what i'm'm saying. So like you're, you're handicapping your growth by, by mentally blocking yourself from delegation because you're not allowing higher skilled individuals to contribute to your project. You see what I'm saying? So like, dude, it's just,

it's, it's, it's a fake. And I went through it too. There's no judgment here, but I wasted five and a half years. Like I told you. So I've learned this lesson very,

very expensively. If we could take five years from now and add it on, you know, let's project me five years in the future from where I'm at now. That's a lot of fucking money that five years cost me.

You see what I'm saying? So it's an expensive fucking lesson and you shouldn't fucking have to repeat it just because I'm here telling you all about it right now. But ultimately, man, it's an irrational fear and you need to get over it if you want to be successful for real. Love it, man.

Well, guys, Andy, that was three. Yep, go pay the fee. Went from sleeping on the floor Now my jewelry box froze Fuck a bowl, fuck a stove Counted millions in a cold Bad bitch, booted swole Go pay the fee.
