No, it's for me. Sitting on the toilet for an hour every fucking time you go over there. No, it's
Starting point is 00:03:49 genetic. Yeah, it's probably the same genetics that everybody else has when they sit on the toilet for an hour. Yeah. Are you looking it up? It is genetic, see? Can it be genetic? Yes, okay. Because my older sister has him too. Hmm. Yeah I bet she appreciates you telling the whole world Yeah, well, I'm just saying I can't control him sis I can't control him he's a wild animal, you know it happens Yeah, yeah I think my dad would probably have him. Yeah dad to you guys. Tell me you're telling your whole family here Huh? What else about your family? It's been a minute
Starting point is 00:04:25 So I don't know if he's you know, I'm saying yeah Alright, let's let's get into the show. We're here to get better today. Tomorrow's the jokes Something new every day man. Let's get better guys. We already learned that hemorrhoids can be genetic can be genetic We're already off to a great start this week. I'm saying all right now if you don't know now, you know now, you know Well, let's get into these questions back. I got three good words for saying, all right, now let's. If you don't know. Now you know. Now you know. Well let's get into these questions but I got three good ones for you, man. All right, man. Guys, Andy, question number one.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Hi, Andy. Hi. I love when they, like this is always a nice salutation. Hi, Andy. I really appreciate everything you do. 75 Hard was a game changer for me. Moving me through a company to now running my own business, I'm 30.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And I resonate with your intense operating style. I'm aggressive and always pushing to move forward. My business partner, who is 20 years older, operate to the slower pace, more patient and methodical. While we're fully aligned on the direction and goals of the business, sometimes the lack of urgency frustrates me. I understand and respect his approach, and I know it's what makes us work well together,
Starting point is 00:05:33 but I'm curious if you face something similar with Chris. Has he ever operated at a different pace than you? How do you maintain alignment without losing momentum? I'd love to hear your advice on managing this dynamic without sabotaging a successful partnership. Well, look, everybody naturally runs at a different pace. Okay. And the truth of the matter is it's actually probably a really good thing that your partner is a little more mature and a little more patient and moves at a
Starting point is 00:06:04 little slower pace because when you are an intense operator, um, you sort of need someone to counteract that and balance that out because that can be a lot for people to handle. It's like drinking from a fire hydrant. Okay. Uh, most people aren't built to handle that level of intensity. And so it's good to have someone who has sort of gone down the road Who you know may have a little bit more experience? Who understands that the things that you might get intense about don't really require that level of intensity Because some of the time when we put too much intensity on tasks that don't require that level of intensity
Starting point is 00:06:40 You can actually end up with a lesser result Because it adds undue pressure to people that don't need to feel that pressure in the moment. So that's a hard discipline to learn, especially if you run naturally hot. I, I run naturally hot. Like I'm always intense. You know, one of the most common things that people ask people that know me in person, they say always, is he really like that in real life?
Starting point is 00:07:05 And the answer is yes, I am like that. And that's, that can be too much for people, but that serves as a good litmus test. Like if it's too much for you, this is probably not a good place for you to work. If you jive with it, you're going to respect and you're going to love it because you know, it's pulling everybody down the fucking tracks. Okay, so there's good and there's bad and As you mature you're going to learn when to apply it and when not to apply it urgency is one of the most important aspects of anybody's Outcome because most people will tell you all take it easy. Oh you work it too hard
Starting point is 00:07:44 Oh, you're taking this too hard, oh you're taking this too serious, but those people never become great at anything. They never produce anything, they never become anything, they never contribute to anything, and they end up in the same spot that they're at at 45 or 55 that they were at when they were 25. Alright and I'm here to tell you that life doesn't end at 25, it's just starting. So having good intensity, having urgency is a massive, massive, massive advantage. And I'm going to say this, I would much rather have way too much than way too little. Okay. So I'm going to say that now I'm going to say something else as far as my experience.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Okay. Chris is not the only person that I've dealt with as a business partner. I've got my brother, I've got Jason, I've got these other guys who are all part of this big conglomerate of companies that we own. They're all different. Okay. And I would say I'm the most intense. However, those guys all run at different paces and it's good because they can decipher what I'm saying. Like there's a lot of times when I say, do this, that this, this, this, and it's so intense
Starting point is 00:08:54 and so hot that the team doesn't necessarily understand it. So it requires one of those guys to translate it. You see what I'm saying? So this is why, you know, I only talked to, I'm chairman of first form. I'm not even the CEO anymore. Haven't been for a couple of years. I talked to Sal, I talked to Chris about the companies that he runs. I talked to Jason and that's all the fucker. That's who I talked to. Okay. Because everybody else can't handle it. All right. Um, You know, when I talk to you guys,
Starting point is 00:09:25 and I mean, you guys know, I get fucking pissed. I get hot. I get urgent. I wanna win now. I don't wanna win yesterday. I wanna win today. I don't wanna win in two weeks. I wanna win today.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I don't wanna win in another fucking year. I wanna win today. And that's a lot of urgency compared to what most places are like. So the fact that you have a business partner that is a little older, been down the path, has a little bit more patience is probably a really great thing for your culture.
Starting point is 00:09:53 And you just have to learn that you're the pace setter and that person is, you know, sort of like not an anchor, but just a little bit of a parachute to kind of slow you down so you don't burn burn everybody out does that make sense? It makes perfect sense man I also think of it like to like I mean when you're moving so fast if you don't have at least another set of eyes Looking at shit shit gets missed a hundred percent Especially when you're urgent especially when you run hot like there'll be a number of times where I'll say dude
Starting point is 00:10:20 We gotta do this and you know one of the guys Sal Jason Chris they'll say, well, what about this and this and this? And I'm like, oh, I didn't even think of that. Okay, well, we'll do this. And then we come through and connect that we all know it needs to be done right now, but we don't make mistakes because they're able to slow it down a little bit and think it through instead of just jumping in.
Starting point is 00:10:42 See, I come from a place where all the companies I founded, we started with nothing. We don't owe banks money, and we don't owe people money. Nobody gave me fucking money. So I had to win, I had to survive. And that breeds a different kind of fucking intensity when you have to, okay? When you don't have any other options, when your back is against the wall,
Starting point is 00:11:03 when if you don't execute today You ain't eaten this weekend. That is a lot of pressure dude and that pressure was on me for so long 11 years actually that it's become part of who I am And I hope it never changes because I feel like when people change that about themselves That's when things start changing in their lives. And while it may not be everybody's cup of tea I enjoy it. And every other time I've tried to like be more calm and be less urgent and, you know, accommodate other people. I've gone fucking insane.
Starting point is 00:11:33 It fucking drives me insane. I cannot be around people who are not intense and urgent about winning. It drives me fucking crazy. The number one thing that bothers me is when I look at someone and I'm like, bro, do you even fucking want to win? Do you even want to win? When I can't tell if someone wants to win, dude, it drives me insane. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:11:55 So we got to have the balances out and it's not bad to be intense. In fact, I think it's a great place to be if you're setting the pace for your company because business moves fucking fast and all these people I hear on the internet that tell you to calm down and Relax and take it easy and you know You're going too hard and this that and the other bro Those people are gonna be in the same spot that they've always fucking been. All right You may not know that because you're young but I'm telling you everybody who ever said that to me
Starting point is 00:12:24 They are where they are. They are where they were when they said it and and that's that's just the truth You may not know that because you're young, but I'm telling you, everybody who ever said that to me, they are where they were when they said it. And that's just the truth. Man. Yeah. There's a lot here, man. I love this question. I wanna ask you this too, I mean,
Starting point is 00:12:35 cause you talk about times that you've tried to change your own personal pace, whether that be from external advice from whoever, right? So is it also safe, and you said that never really worked out is it also safe to I guess assume like you Shouldn't try to change somebody else's pace I they have to be willing to change their own pace whether that's speeding it up or slowing it down like You should not be trying to Make somebody else change their pace that they're moving that I think it depends on if it's working or not
Starting point is 00:13:02 Yeah, you know, I got some advice I think it depends on if it's working or not. Yeah, you know, I got some advice You know when I already had I was already a wealthy person. I was already a great speaker I was already great at the things that I was doing to tone it down from someone that I actually respect and I try to tone it down it fucked up my whole game fucked up my business fucked up my ability to talk fucked up everything about my about it about me Because it isn't me and I think the main thing is to be authentic to who you are That's what it comes down to like you you're not Crazy, you're not broken. You're not you know something that needs to be fixed just because you're not like everybody else, right?
Starting point is 00:13:43 Maybe you're not like everybody else because you? Maybe you're not like everybody else because you have a fucking gift that they don't have. So that's something to consider as well. And I found that to be the case more than not when it comes to listening to critiques or judgment or advice from other people. Okay. I'm me. The recipe is the recipe and it is what it is. If you don't like the way it tastes, don't fucking eat it You know I'm saying you bought the ingredients. Yeah, right. Fuck you got here. Yeah, I love that man I think to the other point though, too Like even for people who are not as outgoing, you know
Starting point is 00:14:15 Like be authentic in that sense like you shouldn't try to like be more you can't start cussing and thinking Yeah, I'm thinking dude dude and we see that all the time, bro We see these kids especially men on the internet who are You know, they state they want to be more masculine So they go find this who they think is an alpha male and all of a sudden they go from being a well-mannered well spoken you know person to like screaming and Kurt like dude that that is
Starting point is 00:14:48 person to like screaming and Kurt like dude that that is that is not masculine man just because someone has the trait of being loud or Cursing or it sounds this or that that's not that that's that's not authentic to you. It's authentic to them most likely Yeah, so what's authentic to you, right? What do you feel the best at and by the way doing nothing and Being nothing and saying nothing doesn't count So what do you feel the best when you are executing? Not when you're not doing anything because everybody's gonna say well I feel the best when I'm sitting on my couch watching Netflix, right? No, I'm saying when you go out in the world and when you execute What is your natural style and how does that produce results?
Starting point is 00:15:23 And if that's something that produces results and they produce results well It probably doesn't need to be messed with if it's something that you know Doesn't then you can look to change and find your authentic self most people Most people don't feel adequate dude, so they think their authentic self isn't good enough, right? They think that their authentic self is So they think their authentic self isn't good enough, right? They think that their authentic self is too boring or too plain, but what they miss is that everybody else is trying to be something they're not. So when you're authentic, people can feel it. They can, they can smell it. They can hear it. They can see it. And whatever that is,
Starting point is 00:15:57 it's way more appealing, even if it's boring than to someone who's manufacturing a personality. So your authentic self is your competitive advantage if you're willing to truly live that way. I love it man. I love it guys. Andy, question number two. Andy, how did you know that your product or service was the one when you opened your first business? I know I want to start a business and go through the hardship of creating a lasting legacy in my area, but I'm unsure of knowing if my product or service will solve a problem, a big enough problem, or even be profitable enough to scale it.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Andy. And for all you do. Yeah, make a decision about what you're going gonna sell, dude. What are you selling? Okay, I didn't end up in the supplement industry intentionally. You guys don't understand that. I started, I wanted to open a tanning salon. Okay, Chris and I were gonna open a tanning salon. We were gonna be the fucking suntan boys. Is this legit?
Starting point is 00:16:58 Yes. Damn. We couldn't afford to buy suntan beds because they were like 50 fucking grand. So we ended up selling fucking vitamins. All right. So the truth of the matter is, is that it doesn't matter. You need to make a decision. You need to start something and the skills that you learn along the way will actually help you adjust course as to what you're offering will be. So most people will sit in this place that this person is in and never make a decision.
Starting point is 00:17:25 So I don't know what to sell. Should I sell books? Should I sell computers? Should I sell snow cones? Should I sell ice cream? Should I open a pizza place? Should I, uh, you know, so, uh, fucking bikinis, like people will just throw around all these ideas.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Well, let me tell you something, dude, ideas ain't worth fucking shit. Execution's where it's at. So it doesn't matter if you're selling ice cream or bikinis or fucking, you know, whatever, dude, what matters is that you go do it. And if you start to sell shit and it doesn't seem to work, now you've at least learned how to set up a website, how to set up a marketing funnel, how to, how to fulfill product, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et, etc And then you could switch the product into something else which never been easier to do that than it is now. So whatever it is that you think you want to do whatever it is you have a propensity to enjoy and Be into it's probably a good place to start I wouldn't start with something that you're completely not interested in because there is an aspect of passion that is required. And a lot of people don't understand why they think that
Starting point is 00:18:30 passions required so that you never have to work a day in your life because I'm just so passionate. That's not true. Okay. There are going to be days, no matter how much you love something that you fucking hate doing it. That's the reality. Okay, but What is it that you are into right now? What do you like to do back then? I like to work out I was an athlete. I like to lift weights and be jacked and tan shit Okay, supplements were always they were always in my in my zone of interest. Yeah, and and We start there, right? So, like, a lot of people are like,
Starting point is 00:19:07 well, you know, I'm not really interested in anything. Well, what do you look at online? Do you look at puppies? Do you look at butterflies? What do you look at? You could be the fucking butterfly bandit, okay? You could start up a page on Pinterest with all kinds of butterfly fucking shirts
Starting point is 00:19:23 and blankets and pins and pendants and this and this and this. And dude, there's enough people out there that like butterflies that you can fucking make a business out of it. Okay. The point is pick something. All right. And the reason that you should pick something that you're interested in is because there's a high likelihood that there is going to be a time from when you start to when you make good money that you struggle. Okay. And what's going to keep you interested in executing during that time. It's going to be your natural interest in the thing that you are offering. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:56 So for me, you know, I didn't get a paycheck for the first three years I was in business. Now we didn't have the internet like you guys have it. All right. So what kept me going for three years? Well, I still trained and I still took supplements and I was still interested in it. And so during that three years where I made no money at all, none, I learned more and I got better and I learned more about nutrition. I learned more about supplementation. I learned more about weight training. It gave me an excuse to even dive deeper into something I was already into and already passionate about, which then eventually made me an expert after a decade of doing that. But if you pick something that you have no interest in and no passion for, you start,
Starting point is 00:20:40 and then during that time where there's no payment coming in and it's hard, like that three-year window for me You're going to get so frustrated that you're going to change into something else And if you do that too fast, you're not giving the idea or the plan enough time to materialize Which is going to short circuit your success anyway, because every time it gets hard you're going to do something new And it's like starting a marathon over at mile seven every time you try to run a marathon You're never gonna fucking get there. So You know, what are you interested in?
Starting point is 00:21:10 What are you passionate about? What's something that you would do for free and how can you make a business out of it? Those are some questions that I would ask Outside of that. It doesn't really matter as long as you fucking start and you can make adjustments as you go I love it, man. I love it guys Andy our third and final question Andy question number three Andy I've started this email a couple of times but kept deleting it. I can almost hear you saying
Starting point is 00:21:39 Quit being a bitch Overall, it's been a great year. My wife and I welcomed our first child in January. I'm on month 10 of staying alcohol free, down 30 pounds and sticking to my diet, workouts and jujitsu training. I'm also keeping up with my goal of reading 10 pages a day, but the past couple of weeks have been tough. I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. Every week feels like I'm on repeat, same work challenges, same workouts, same routine. What do you do when you hit a rut? Any advice on breaking out of it? Thanks for any insight.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Well first of all, I mean, congratulations, 10 months alcohol free, down 30 pounds, your first kid. Sounds like you had a great fucking year and it sounds like you're doing awesome. Now onto the rut. You're not in a rut, that's just the way shit is. Okay, when you do the same thing day in and day out, day in and day out, day in and day out, day in and day out, it gets mundane, it gets boring. This is why most people quit,
Starting point is 00:22:37 this is why most people can't be successful because they cannot master the mundane nature of becoming successful. It is about day in and day out execution. And a lot of those days are going to look the exact same. So when you think that, you know, you're in a rut, what you really are is you're in a place where most other people quit because it's boring.
Starting point is 00:23:00 And so you have to understand that mastering these boring days is the part that nobody else can do Because they feel the same way you feel now Even though you're winning even though you're doing great. You are sitting there saying fuck. This is boring. This sucks I don't know. I don't what else do you want? What else do you want bro? You do know the answer to your own question. You need to quit being a fucking bitch Alright, that's the reality. And by the way, there's an entire podcast on this that I did. If you want to check out
Starting point is 00:23:29 that episode, it's episode 240 on the MFCEO project. That is behind the real AF feed. If you scroll all the way down, you'll hit MFCEO feed. And when you hit that, go to episode 240 and you'll listen because that is the nature of winning. The nature of winning is doing the exact same things at a very high level, day in and day out, day in and day out, day in and day out. And when it gets boring and when it gets mundane, that's when everybody else fucking quits. And if you can master that process, you're going to be infinitely successful because most people cannot continue to
Starting point is 00:24:04 go once it's not exciting anymore. And by the way, dude, process, you're going to be infinitely successful because most people cannot continue to go once it's not exciting anymore. And by the way, dude, it's not going to be exciting forever. Just like, you know, any area of your life, fitness is not going to be exciting. You're not going to feel like working out every day. Just like your relationship. It's not always going to be the most exciting shit in the world. Okay. But the successful ones, the people who are successful in business, successful at training, successful in life and relationships, friendships, they understand that these mundane times are the times that count the most. But dude, at the end of the day, dude, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:39 we have to realize that we have to look for opportunities when everybody else is going to quit that we can continue to go, and that's one of them. Let me, because I feel like we and you have had a conversation about this, and this was a couple of years ago, and you said something that just made sense, and you were talking about, you know, I think you put it in terms of your planting season,
Starting point is 00:25:03 harvest season, and it's like, you know, the shit that you're doing today is not for you to, you know, reap in a week or two weeks. It's five years down the road, the work that you're putting in today. Yeah, that's right. And I think sometimes like that, that is the like, misconnection a lot of people
Starting point is 00:25:18 get stuck in because they fail to remember like, you're not doing this for tomorrow, you're doing this for you five years from now. That's right. You know what I'm saying? Can we just dive into that a little bit, man? Cause I feel like that's such an important piece there. You know?
Starting point is 00:25:30 Which part? I mean, putting in the work and knowing what it's going to. Well, most people don't know what it's going to because they've never experienced harvesting the results of their work cause they've never done the work hard enough. So how do you train someone to understand that what they're doing now is going to pay off later
Starting point is 00:25:44 if they never stuck to anything long enough to see a payoff? It's a very hard concept train someone to understand that what they're doing now is going to pay off later if they never stuck to anything Long enough to see a payoff. It's a very hard concept for them to understand That's why you have to train them and tell them and coach them and you'd say hey, bro As long as you keep going it's gonna pay off as long as you keep going It's gonna pay off and it's gonna take way longer than you think to start paying off. All right, there's a story I talk about it all the time about the Chinese bamboo tree paying off. All right. There's a story. I talk about it all the time about the Chinese bamboo tree. Okay. You go out, you plant this motherfucker in the ground and it has to be undisturbed for five
Starting point is 00:26:11 years. Okay. And if you go out and you dig it up and check on it, guess what? It doesn't grow. If you go out there and plow over the soil, guess what? It doesn't grow. If you forget that it's there and you build something on top, guess what? It doesn't grow. So you have to make sure it's undisturbed and you have to make sure it gets water and you have to make sure it's, it's, you know, cultivated properly. And then after five years, it grows to 60 to 80 feet in eight weeks. Okay. That's what your success is going to be like. It's going to be like that. You are going to work, you're going to work, you're going to work, and then you're going to see a little bit of progress. And that's
Starting point is 00:26:48 going to cause you to believe a little bit. You're like, oh shit, this is actually starting to work. And then you're going to work some more, work some more, work some more. And then it's going to get even more results for what the work you put in. You're going to say, oh, this is actually working. And then eventually you start to realize exactly how it works. You don't doubt it anymore So now like for me I've been doing this a long time. I know exactly what to expect but someone who's 20 that's never harvested They don't know what to expect
Starting point is 00:27:15 So most of the time they quit because they think that whatever work they're doing isn't going to pay off when in reality, dude It's going to pay off when in reality dude It's going to pay off But it's just going to take a lot longer than you expected it to take and this is a problem that we have with social Media and all these things right now because everybody's promising the quick easy fast overnight way when in reality That's not how it works. It just doesn't it just doesn't work that way. So yeah I Think that the instant gratification kills a lot of that for sure. Yeah. Yeah, it's and it's a total lie Look man, the more you could delay gratification the bigger the winning is on the back end. That's the truth. Yeah
Starting point is 00:27:54 Do you think let me actually this do you think that? This is just like occurred to me. Do you think that like the reason instant gratification works so well? negatively obviously but it works so well on so many people is because the opposite of instant gratification in the negative sense, like whether bad shit happen, those things tend to happen so quickly or so people think. But even like negative shit just happened in your life,
Starting point is 00:28:18 like how quick stuff can go wrong and go bad, they assume then good shit must also occur as quick or as fast as the bad shit must happen. I don't know it's possible I guess people could think that. I just I don't know I'm so far removed from that thinking I can't remember what I thought whenever I didn't know what I know. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like I know how this works. It's not I'm not I'm not guessing I'm not philosophizing like I Like you look around at my life, like look the fuck in my life, bro.
Starting point is 00:28:46 I can't point my camera anywhere ever and it not look like I'm bragging, okay? And that comes from me doing shit when there was nothing to show for the results and doing that for a long, long time, showing up every day, doing what the fuck I thought was the right thing. Was it always the right thing? No, but I learned it wasn't and I adjusted course and I kept showing up and I kept showing
Starting point is 00:29:10 up and I kept showing up. You know, people made fun of me. I kept showing up. Girls left me kept showing up. People fucking gave up on me kept showing up. People told me I was shit kept showing up and doing what I need to do and eventually it materializes and I don't think I know Because I'm me that I don't have special skill sets that y'all don't have the only special skill sets I have come as the result of me showing up and getting my ass kicked for way longer than anybody else is willing to do Okay, because there's a couple things about me that I do have one. I'm'm not a pussy. I have a lot of courage. I don't give a fuck. Okay? And number two, I'm tough. I take a fucking beating all day, over and over and over. You got to fucking kill me to stop me. Okay? So you got those two things, bro. You're
Starting point is 00:29:58 going to be in a good spot. And I'm telling you, a lot of you guys are smarter than me. You have more gifts than me. You have more gifts than me you have More intelligence than me and if you could just hone that in and understand the game You're gonna be super successful And the game is very simple. You got to keep showing up long after you lose interest and and executing at a high level and eventually things materialize and and You know, this is why we talk about the work coming before the belief, you know People say oh you got to believe in the beginning No, you don't you don't have to believe in the beginning at all
Starting point is 00:30:32 Well, you have to be willing to do is trust and have faith that the work that you were doing is going to produce a result All right, and so you show up you do the work You go home and nothing's happened. You show up you do work, you go home and nothing's happened. You show up, you do the work, you go home, nothing's happened. You do that for a long fucking time and eventually something happens. And you're like, Oh, and then you repeat that cycle and something more happens. And you're like, Oh, and then all of a sudden you're producing some real results and you're like, Oh fuck, this is how this works.
Starting point is 00:31:00 And there's no doubt anymore. So, so like, if you could just get to a point where you can remove that doubt, it's no different than someone who has to lose a hundred pounds in the gym, dude. They show up on the first day and they're like, fuck, I work, I worked my ass off today or sweating. You know, they can't breathe. The next day they're sore as fuck. They show up, they're sweating, they can't breathe. They look the same. You know, they do that for three or four weeks. They still look the same. And they're like, fuck, this isn't working. And someone puts their arm around them and tells look the same. You know, they do that for three or four weeks They still look the same and they're like fuck this isn't working and someone puts their arm around them and sells them the truth
Starting point is 00:31:29 This is hey motherfucker It takes five six seven weeks to even get this going because you've been a fat fuck for a long time and it's gonna take Some time past what you think it's gonna take to start seeing results So stick it out and once we get over that hub, it's gonna start accelerating tremendously Just give it another few weeks the dude sticks it out and once we get over that hump, it's gonna start accelerating tremendously Just give it another few weeks the dude sticks it out The lady sticks it out all the sudden they're down 30 fucking pounds and they're like, holy shit This works and then they keep going and they transform them lives But but like dude that doesn't happen enough because most people will just quit too soon. Most people quit too soon on everything
Starting point is 00:32:01 That's what it comes down to their life their marriage the relationship The friendship and their business and their fitness they quit on everything way too soon. It just takes time. I Love it, man guys Andy Let's go get a Monday in man. All right guys. See you tomorrow on CTI. Don't be a hoe Went from sleeping on the floor, now my jewelry box froze Fuck a bowl, fuck a stove, counted millions in a coat Bad bitch, booted, swole, got her on bankroll Can't fold, dust or no, headshot, case closed
