REAL AF with Andy Frisella - 88. Full Frontal Assault with Chadd Wright

Episode Date: December 4, 2020

You have to understand the lows to appreciate the highs. On today's full-length episode, Andy and the guys talk with Chadd Wright, a former Navy SEAL turned elite ultra-runner about success being a one step at a time process, the power of belief, and the portrait the media is painting with Covid-19.

I told my teacher, dumb bitch, I'm gonna get millions. Watch this. In a project living, spoke it till existence. Voila. Mode changed to 50. Got more cars than didn't. I only weigh 180, but my watch cost 250. We're starting the show right fucking now.

This is the show. It's called Real AF, and we don't do intros anymore. Fuck it. I got my buddy Chad right here from Georgia. He's an interesting cat. Very accomplished man. United States Navy veteran. SEAL. SEAL instructor.

We're going to talk about all this cool shit. You were just on Rogan, right? No, I haven't been on Joe's show. You haven't done Rogan? I have not. No. Maybe we need to do the intro and start over again because I just fucked that up. No, it's all good, man.

Fuck it. Well, you should be, bro. You should be on Rogan. No shit. Joe, have him on the show. Guys, for real, we got a good episode here. We got a full crew. I got two big episodes. This is going to

be one and we got another one recording tomorrow that you guys are going to like their full length. Tomorrow, I'm going to talk about what I think is actually going on in the world. We might talk about that today. Fuck it. I don't know. I don't know where this is going to go, but I think is actually going on in the world. I think you got, we might talk about that today. Fuck it. I don't know. I don't know where this is going to go, but we got good people here.

We got Sal. What's up, Sal? What's going on, everybody? We got, we got DJ. Yeah. The real urban DJ. The real urban. Is that your new name?

The real urban? I think, I think that's what I want to go with. I think that's the real urban. You're not going to go with Suge Mourning anymore? Or Suge Mourning. Suge Mourning. I like Suge Mourning. Newly bald.

Yeah. It's a look, bro. Me and DJ have become good friends over the last few. Me and DJ and Jim. You guys got to start your own podcast. If you guys listen to this podcast, y'all need to send Andy a DM and tell him that Jim needs to be on the podcast. Hey, listen.

Hey, you know, why don't you just go out and grab him? Let's just get this over with. No, no, it's all good. Yeah. No, let's get this over with. I don't want to blow it off, man. Are you lying just to keep... No.

You're just... Chad and DJ, you guys need to keep your hands above the table. I want to make sure you guys aren't loving on each other. No, no, no. You're just lying because you don't want to bring my dad on the show. I'm going to tell him. I'm going to tell him. I'm going to tell you, no. You're just lying because you don't want to bring my dad on the show. I'm going to tell him. I'm going to tell him. I'm going to tell you, man.

It's coming here. It's hard to describe to people what you guys have been able to accomplish. I mean, this is unbelievable, man, what you guys have done. Not just from a material standpoint, but just the team that you guys have formed. It's unbelievable, man. Thanks, brother. I mean, you're crushing it, bro. Thank you, man. It's been a long journey. This is going into our 23rd year. So, I mean, we're still pretty young, but we started young, and that's what a lot of people don't realize. But realize. Honestly, bro, it's all cool, but the coolest thing about all this, for real,

is seeing these guys out here help tens of thousands of people on a regular basis, improve their lives. Then, by the way, getting to have people like you come in here and see it and share it and talk about it and be a part of it, bro. So dude, thank you for coming up, man. I know you drove up here. Dude, it's an honor. And thank you guys for having me. I'm actually surprised you let me come, man. I'm such a skinny dude with a red beard and I didn't even know we were filming this. I would have did a little better job on my braid. But yeah, man, getting here was quite an adventure. I did drive. Now, I know you're a car guy, Andy, right? So I've never

owned a nice vehicle in my life. It doesn't make sense for me to own a nice vehicle because I literally don't go to town. I don't go to town, period. And so this freaking, all this coronavirus stuff, I'm not trying to fly right now, right? And it's not because of coronavirus. I've already had coronavirus. I ran a freaking marathon on day five. Everybody here has had coronavirus, right? Every single person had it here.

Go on my Instagram if you want to see what my coronavirus journey was. It was very manageable. I'm trying not to fly because I'm going to tell you right now, brother, people are keyed up, man. And I don't do well being treated like livestock, right? Staying here, dude, when can I? Oh, you know, I don't do well when you start to treat me like livestock. So I told my wife, I said, you know, I got to drive up here, and this old beat-up Toyota truck, I just don't think it's going to make it. And so I went out the day before yesterday and bought me a brand-new Suburban.

There you go. Oh, this is the first nice car I've ever owned in my life. Now, I like to choke when them jokers told me what it was going to cost. But I bought it i and so the morning i went to leave to come up here i walked outside it was like 19 degrees outside it for balls cold man and i'm out there i crank my new suburban up and i come back in the house and my wife's like man what were you doing and i was, I had to go out and crank my car up, let my car warm up. She said, you know, that thing has something called remote start. I never heard of a car. There's a button on this key thing that I can push and

crank my car from inside my house. Now I get in the thing after I learned now that it has remote start and i'm literally sitting i'm going down the road man and my seat starts to get hot and i legitimately i'm getting concerned i think that my car is like malfunction i'm like this thing's brand new what is going on here oh yeah and i look down and this thing has heaters in the seats man um so i'm getting soft them suburbans are sweet man oh yeah bro this thing around you're real you're getting real soft you know chad i gotta be honest though wait wait until that ac comes on your balls you just got on a run your balls get real nice and cold yeah right c seats are fire man they're nice

y'all think y'all think i'm joking no No, we don't. We've all been there, baby. It's nice. Welcome. No, we don't. Dude, the C-heaters can sneak up on you, man. Yeah. Yeah. Start cooking that meat. Did you turn the steering wheel on? No, I ain't figured that one out yet. I will say that though, dude. I'm not a big C-heater or cooler guy, but the steering wheel, when it's like zero or below. Ball's cold. That's nice. Yeah. It's nice. You know what I want to know, Andy, just so it'll make me feel better about what I paid for my Suburban? What's the most you've ever spent on a vehicle?

Wrong question, dude. I have a feeling I'm going to be okay with what I paid. I paid $43,000 for my Suburban. You won. Am I good? You should feel good about that. The answer is yes. I was thinking about you when I bought it. I'll tell you.

Look, man. I'll tell you another time. Dude, I have the disease, man. Whatever that disease is, the hot wheel, car, motor, tractor, operating anything, it's just in my blood man and like the the feel and the the sounds and the the whole visceral experience of cars and then when you start learning about racing and you start learning about the technical aspects of racing and man it's just in me i can't fight it anymore i used to be pissed off and like i would even tell people like when i would buy cars i'd be like fuck dude i wish i had a different hobby i wish i had something else that i loved but i love it you know and it's just something i really

enjoy yeah man i and and dude i've worked for mr obama a few times and um we used to ride around in those suburbans you know and i always wanted the coolest car I've ever seen was, we were flying to a country in West Africa and little hole in the wall place. And we had this vehicle on board the C-17 and we were dropping it off for a little CIA detachment, right? And it was a Toyota Prado or Land Cruiser, right? And it looked stock, bone stock. But when you started digging into this thing, man, it was up-armored. There was a turret that popped out the roof from the back hatch. It had, I probably shouldn't be saying all this. It had little, dude, it had cameras.

I was like, dude, there ain't no telling what this joker cost, man. Yeah. Oh, dude, those up armored uh like suburbans that are done with like all the cameras those are half a mil man really those things are crazy yeah and i think when you get into that that level of stuff where you know we're talking about turrets and all that i mean i think those are seven figure vehicles each one i guarantee if the government's building they are do you have one yet no well we got an up armored i saw the humvee out there yeah yeah but that's not armor we got an up-armored. We have an up-armored. I saw the Humvee out there. Yeah, but that's not an armored. We got an up-armored Suburban.

Yeah. Dude, that's awesome. That's the company that I work for. We have one for the contract. That's awesome. So did you drop that thing off in Rome, Georgia, when you're flying over it? Dude, I wish. I'm a Toyota man.

I mean, I'm a Toyota man. It's hard to battle. But no, that thing's probably still in Africa somewhere. It's probably been destroyed by now, but. So dude, I was, let's, let's talk a little bit about, you know, what you've done and how, you know, what you're doing now, because I think it's, it's really cool. You know, 2006, you graduate high school, you go right into the Navy. Do you always know you want to be a SEAL? No, I didn't, Andy. I didn't. I just, you know, I've lived in a small town in North

Georgia. I've come full circle. I'm back there now. But, you know, I just came to a realization one day in life that if I don't leave this little small town and go do something special, right, in quotation marks, something different,. That was going to be my lot in life, which is fine. Now, I know a lot of men that are some of the greatest men on earth that have never left that place, but there was something in me, some burning desire to do something a little different. So I went to join the Navy and I went through boot camp. First of all, I failed the physical standards test numerous times, finally got a SEAL contract, went to boot camp,

got all the way through boot camp. We were graduating the day of graduation. We had these hats that said recruit, and when you graduate, you get a hat that says Navy on it, right? And so we're going to get our Navy hats. And my drill instructor, dude, he pulls me to the side and he says, Chad, man, you got to go to medical. They found something on your dive physical because they run you through the mill when you go to be a SEAL. They really check you from head to toe. So I walk into this dude's office. I'm thinking I'm about to go to SEAL training. Man,

I've graduated. All right. Here my dream is starting. He says, hey, bud, you have a seven centimeter pericardial cyst on your heart. This dude is the top medical officer for Naval Special Warfare. He said, you will never be able to be a SEAL. He said, this cyst is asymptomatic, meaning that we're not going to take it off your heart. It's a rare condition. It's not going to affect you your whole life. What they were afraid of is when we dove, that the pressure change would burst the cyst. They didn't know that for a fact, but it was a possibility. So they said, you know, sorry, bud, you know, we're going to send you to the regular Navy,

which would have been fine, but that wasn't necessarily where I had set my goals, right? It was actually way off from what I had made up my mind to go do. And so I wasn't too happy with that. So I got an administrative discharge from the Navy and went back home with my hat in my hand, right? Because when I went back home, guess what all them old boys back at the house thought? Oh, yeah. They thought, well, old Chad, he's back. He couldn't make the cut, right?

And I'm like, no, man, I actually have this cyst on my heart. And they're like, oh, come on, dude. Yeah, right. Come on, man. A pericardial cyst. Ain't nobody ever even heard of that, man, I actually have this cyst on my heart. And they're like, oh, come on, dude. Yeah, right. Come on, man. A pericardial cyst. Ain't nobody ever even heard of that, man. And so, you know, I'm there at the house.

I start shopping around for a heart surgeon. Now, every heart surgeon I go to, they say, hey, man, you're freaking 19 years old. We're not opening your chest up to remove an asymptomatic cyst. Like, this is a dangerous surgery. And so they just flat out would deny even doing the surgery. Finally found a dude named Dr. Cooper after going to about three or four different heart surgeons. And he was an Army guy.

He had served on the battlefield as a combat surgeon. He understood I wanted to go serve my country as a U.S. Navy SEAL. He said, Chad, we'll do this, man. I'll take this off your heart, man. So I paid for my own heart surgery. I got in the vehicle that morning, was driving to the hospital, and I had one moment of doubt, and it was on that drive to the hospital, 5.30 a.m. I look over at my dad, and I said, Dad, do you really think that I should do this, man? It's getting serious. It's getting real now, right?

Yeah. And it's a gamble because if I have this thing taken off my heart, there's no guarantee that they're going to even let me back in the Navy. I didn't have any promises. There's no guarantee on that. There's no promises, man. Right. This surgery cost over $100,000, right. This is a huge gap. We were poor. I'm still poor.

And I asked dad, I said, man, you think I should really do this? And he said, son, if you want to be a SEAL, you don't have a freaking choice. Now, that's been a common theme in my life. You got to come to that conclusion at some point in your life that there's going to be times where you don't have a freaking choice. Me and DJ just talked. It's the same way with marriage, man. My wife's a recovering addict. There was a time I got home from deployment in 2012, whole nother story. She said, you know, she, she was, she was off the wall, dude. And I was, I was about to quit my marriage and I called my little brother. He said, Chad, you don't have a choice there again. You don't have a freaking choice, man. So we go to the hospital. I had this thing removed from my heart. Um, and luckily they let me back in the Navy and, uh, I went straight through SEAL training.

It was never rolled, never failed a single evolution because I had so much invested in it beforehand. If I would have went to Bud's without the whole process, you know, of removing the cyst and the heart surgery, I don't think I would have made it just to be totally honest with you. But, but when I finally got to toe the line, I had two years, I had a heart surgery. I had a lot of money. I had all this time and money and effort and I had all this invested, right? Nothing was going to stop me. I literally would have died. I don't, I don't say that lightly. You, you hear people say that all the time. No, no, no, no. I don't say that lightly, man. Oh, you could, you could feel it. Yeah, that's real. Yeah, dude. That's a, you know, that whole mentality, right? Like, dude, I don't have a choice. I think that's, that's,

that's the whole key, man. It's like we were talking on the treadmill earlier. You know, how many ultra marathons you've done? I've lost count, brother. Yeah. I mean, do you have a choice of quitting? No. Look, man, this is the foundation of everything. Yeah.

Before we go any further with this conversation, if you, any of you guys listening to this, I don't know how many people listen to this, but if you're listening to this, the foundation of everything in life is taking quitting off the table. You have to literally take it off the table, whether it's marriage, whether it's business, whether it's running, whatever your dreams are, whatever you aspire to be, you have to take quitting off the table. Because if you quit, then everything else we talk about today, it don't matter. It don't freaking matter, man. Right, right. Dude, that's something I talk about a lot. I've talked a lot about on this show for the last five, six years now, something I call zero options mentality. Whenever you're in the beginning, and we talk about it a lot in the context of entrepreneurship, because the way

this show started, it started as entrepreneurship show and it's evolved into more of a talk show where we talk about opinions and things. Before it was more like a lecture. And one of the things I always teach is zero options mentality. And basically what that means, guys, that if you're not familiar, you're a new listener, you know, in the beginning when you're in business or you're starting anything, right, or your back's against the wall, that's when it's the easiest for you to push through because you don't have a choice. But the key and why you see so many people become moderately successful, they've done okay, they've built something that's, it's not what it could be, but it's paying the bills and they never

really roll out of that into that next level is because they lose the ability to understand that zero option mentality. You as a human, if you want to perform at a high level, have to be able to continuously put yourself in a position to where you don't have an option, but to win. And you have to do that even when you're winning. And that's the key, right? It's easy to give yourself outs when things are going well. It's easy to say, I don't have to send that email when you're making good money now. It's easy to say, I don't have to send that email when you're making good money now. It's easy to say, I don't have to take that meeting or make that call or do that thing, but that's why people lose. And so what Chad's talking about here is a

very relevant concept to success literally in the seals, in business, in your marriage. And if you want to run marathons, if you want to lift a thousand pounds, it doesn't matter. You just have to learn how to put your back against the wall to where the only option is the result that you're after. And I think I've interviewed so many people and talked to so many high achieving individuals in all different areas of life. And dude, this is a common theme they all talk about. Well, I mean, you're exactly right, Andy. And well, let's analyze why, why do people quit in the first place? Right? So we started SEAL training with 300 guys. We graduated with 18 dudes. I've seen a lot of people quit. I've seen a lot of people

quit in a lot of different things, even ultra marathons, right? But SEAL training is the freaking prime example of it. What do you think the number one reason that all those guys quit was? It's hard. It's really not that it's hard. There's no single evolution in SEAL training that's all that hard. I think they didn't have enough leverage on the back end to push them through. That's it. They don't have a reason.

That's part of it. I mean, if you were asking for an element, I would say the cold. Well, the cold, that's part. So all those components, I think, contribute to it. The number one reason that dudes quit in SEAL training is because they looked at the big picture, right? They could not focus on what they had to do in that moment to make it to the next moment. You know what?

I had a goal every day in Bud's when I woke up to get to breakfast. To get to breakfast. That was my only goal. I remember in Hell Week, man. We do this evolution in Hell Week where it's just a one mile repeat. You run one mile down the beach and run one mile back, right? One mile repeat on a sunny beach in California, right? We've been up for whatever, 72, 80 hours, something like that. But it's easy day, right? You can do this at your own pace. I see guys, we lost more guys in that

single evolution probably than anything else in hell week. And I'm looking at it, I'm like, why guys quit? I'm running on a sunny beach at my own pace in California. Instructors aren't bothering me. The caveat is the instructors didn't tell us when this evolution was going to be over. All right. So these guys, man, they get in their head, man, we could be doing this for another 20 hours. We could be doing this for another 15 hours, right? When in reality, all you had to do was run a single mile, not even that. You just had to put one foot in front of the other at your own pace. And that was the mentality that got me through SEAL training. I was never the fastest. I was never the fastest.

I was never the strongest. I'm dang sure not the smartest, right? But I can laser focus on what needs to be done in that moment in order to proceed with my mission. It's the reason I run that way. It's the reason I won the Mid-State Mile. Yeah. We talked about it out there. Yeah, yeah. It's the whole reason. Yeah, man. I get it. You

know, uh, I talked to so many people as we were sharing earlier. Uh, I talked to so many business owners and people who, who feel defeated or they feel like they haven't accomplished, or they feel like they can't accomplish. And the theme is it's exactly what you said, bro. It's, they are looking at a year from now, two years from now, five years from now, or the ultimate version of what they want to be, which is great to look at because you got to have a target, but they're judging their success and their progress based on the fact that they haven't reached this yet. When in reality, all this is about is winning the day. And this is what we talked about out in the gym this morning. You know, if you're, if you find yourself in a scenario

right now where you feel dissatisfied, or you feel like you're never going to get where you want to go, or you feel like you can't, you're not making progress. The likelihood of the reason why you feel that way is because you're looking so far ahead and judging yourself based on that. When in reality, it's counterintuitive to how big goals are accomplished. How do you eat elephant? One bite at a time. One bite at a time, man. This isn't new. This is nothing new. This is something we've forgotten. Dude, that's what it is and i talk to guys like uh my buddy jp uh jp danelle who's our great friend of ours um and we always you know we talk real like hey bro what was it like over there you know when you were a sniper and we tell the he tells the stories and we all sit there like holy fuck and but but really do what he always

says it um i always i'm always curious because i meet a lot of guys i'm like hey what was buds like he's like it wasn't it wasn't no big deal jaco said the same thing it wasn't no big deal and you know what they both said they said fuck dude it's just one day at a time you just go well i think that's you look at the correlation to life whether it's buds training or building a business or and i don't know if you understand kind of what we do we sell more than supplements right like our game plan is to help people change their lives. And I think that's what we do better than everybody else in our industry. And we have lives every day and we talk to people and in order to be successful, whether you have a hundred pounds to lose,

200 pounds to lose, 20 pounds to lose, it's putting one foot in front of the other. It's one meal at a time. It's, it's one good workout at a time. It's making sure you're tracking your food one day at a time and just simply hitting the repeat button, you know, and if you can do that consistently over a long period of time, you can be successful. It doesn't matter. Nobody ever asked you how long it'd take you to lose a hundred pounds. They look at the result that you lost a hundred pounds, you know? And so back to your, your, your, uh, analogy about running the mile, like nobody cares how long it fucking takes you to do it. Yeah. But they just want to know if you did it. So the caveat to this and the reason that, that so many people struggle with success now, and when I say success, I'm not talking

about just money. I'm talking about any area you're trying to be successful. The reason they can't succeed is because everybody out there is selling them the fucking secret. They're selling them the fucking secret. When, when, when guess what? There is no secret. There is, there is, you win today, you win today. You win today. And then guess what? If you won today, you get about, you know, maybe if you're lucky, eight hours before you got to win the next day.

And you know what? At the end of it, this is what builds confidence in yourself. This is what builds self-worth. A lot of these motherfuckers online right now are talking about, oh, dude, just tell yourself you're great and you'll feel great. That's not true. Tell yourself you're great and don't do shit and tell me you feel any better. You're not going to feel better.

Okay? You got to tell the lie. Dude, it's the biggest lie in society right now that you should just accept yourself and say, you know, I'm great the way I am. That's the biggest fucking lie in society. You got to test yourself if you want to be happy. You've got to test yourself if you want to be fulfilled. You have to know that when you look in the mirror at night, you did what you're supposed to do.

And when you look in the mirror at night and you did whatever you're supposed to do, you're going to feel good. And the next day you get to start over again. And that's just the way it is. People are trying to search for this answer that is like everlasting. There is no everlasting answer to happiness. There is no everlasting answer to fulfillment. There is no everlasting answer to fitness or making money. You have to execute day by day by day for a long time. And that's just the way it is. And if you're not willing to do that, you just won't get that.

And that's just the reality. And we're inundated by marketing every fucking day, whether it be the diet industry, the fitness industry, the success industry, the relationship, all these things, right? Everybody's a fucking coach now. And by the way, if your coach hasn't done shit, why the fuck is he your coach? Okay, let's get that out of the way. But we have these people spouting all these informations and not quote unquote knowledge

to people as if there's some secret to everlasting happiness and Zen-like peace. And there isn't, you have to create the peace in yourself by learning that you can do anything you want to do. And you learn that by doing the shit you're supposed to do. It's so once you start to see it, it's so simple. You're like, how did I never see that? Because I am the guy who spent years and years and years trying to figure out why I was angry and why I was mad and why I was upset and why I was depressed. And by the way, I still have off days. But the truth of the matter is, is when I stopped doing that and I started looking at,

okay, I'm 350 fucking pounds. I'm fat as shit. Yeah, I'm making good money, but you're a total fraud, dude. All right. How am I going to fix this scenario? Well, I can't fix it in one day, man. So what am I going to do today? Today, I'm going to eat how a fit person would eat and I'm going to train how a fit person would train. And at the end of the day, I'm going to say, all right, I did it one day. When I wake up tomorrow, I'm going to

do it again. And it's that simple. And dude, the same thing goes for like your mental health maintenance and taking care. Self-love is what I'm talking about right here, guys. It's not this thing that is promoted by all the social justice warriors out in the world wanting to feel good for doing nothing. To accept for who you are. You're never going to feel good for doing nothing. It's not going to happen. It's all going to fucking fail. And you're're gonna blame the people who sold you the fucking lie you shouldn't

blame the people that sold you a lie blame yourself i think i think that's the biggest thing man is just like having that honor honest conversation with yourself as far as where you are you know like and like not accepting that but refusing to accept where you are and get going like me on my weight loss journey like i know i'm not where i want to be at you know i know that for a fact but i know i'm closer today than i was yesterday hell yeah you know but it's having people refuse to have that honest conversation with themselves i know i'm a piece of shit look look man life is a constant state of undulation and if you can't accept that, then you're just going to be butting your head against a freaking wall all the time. Because look, the more that you achieve, the higher you go,

the greater the things are that you're accomplishing and doing. You can't stay there. And I experienced that with my life all the time, brother, because I've accomplished some things and I do some things, but guess what? People ask me all the time. We take people out in the wilderness on all these adventures and missions and stuff, and they always ask me, when this is over, how do you not go through that stage of depression? How do you skip the valley? Basically, how can we go from summit to summit to summit? I'm like, you don't skip the valley. When I come off of a mission, when I come off of an ultra run or whatever it is, dude, I might sit at my house for two weeks and eat ice cream and just, I accept it, man.

I'm like, all right, this is part of the process of being a freaking winner. Now, I understand that it's not permanent, but I accept it. It takes the power away from it. And I take a few days off, man. And then guess what? I'm looking at the next peak, right? I start climbing again. That's the way days off, man. And then guess what? I'm looking at the next peak, right? I start climbing again. It's just that's the way life goes, man.

Do you think, so this is an interesting thought. And I'm like reeling back all the great conversations I've been fortunate enough to have with people who have done really cool stuff like you. Do you think it's because that we're addicted to the progress that we, we, so like what I'm saying is, is,

you know, you, you got, you hit an accomplishment and then you kind of come off of it and you're in that downspout and you know, you see the next one, you know, the true,

the true winners are addicted to the, to the process, not the result to the process, not the result. To the climb. That's right. And so I feel like when I hear you say that, I'm identifying with that and thinking like, fuck, dude, I wonder if I'm actually doing this to myself just so I can get that.

That feeling, yeah. That feeling of progress, right? That's real. Like it's such an addicting thing to the to the to do it you know and it's it's weird that so many people try to avoid i guess it's not weird because for a long time i didn't get it either you know i tried to avoid the fucking work i wanted to you know i did the work but i tried to figure out how to do less of it you know i tried to figure out how to make it easier but i think that's yeah but i'm saying like

as i got older dude i started to look for the harder path. I started to look for the shit that was going to test me because I knew that if the test was harder, that I would gain more skill out of it, which would benefit me to what I'm trying to do. And that's only been a realization that I figured out in the last five years or so. The first 15 years I was in business, I was trying to do what everybody else does. I was trying to cut a corner. I was trying to make it easier. I was trying to figure out a way to gap this issue, basically go from peak to peak without the lows. And dude, I know it just was, it never happened. Never, ever. And when I started embracing the lows and I started saying, dude, I love these tests. All right, I'm getting tested right now. And when I come out of this test, I'm going to be that much better. And this

dude who's not going through the test isn't. And when I started looking at it like that, dude, it changed. It changed the game. It changed me, changed who I was, changed my peace on the inside because dude, now I'm in control. Now I'm in a position where I'm in control of this shit. I'm not reacting to the waves. I'm not reacting to the waves. I'm creating the motherfucking waves, you know, and dude, that's such a powerful thing to realize, you know, and are for the listeners. Are you listening to this podcast to make your life easier or are you listening to this podcast so you can do more? There's a difference. There is. Do you think when I'm running, running never gets easier for me.

I just go faster. The difficulty stays the same. My life is the same way. The difficulty stays the same. The better you get, you just go faster, man. You just achieve more. You just, you just get more stuff done, right? You got the tools, right? That's a mindset shift. No, no, you're good. I mean, I listen, this is a, and I think for the younger listener, cause we've got pretty, pretty young audience in the grand scheme of things. You know, you spend a lot of your time wishing you were there, like the journey, wherever there is the finish. I wish I was there. I wish I was there. And I, and I always kind of play that out to, you know, our journey. Cause we, we tell these guys all the time, you have no idea what it was like when it was just three of us or two of us. And we were white folding tables and we had this shitty warehouse. I wouldn't,

I wouldn't wish that part of my life away for anything. No, it's one of the best things it's do do. When I think about what we've done, those times, even though like during the time I was shitting my pants, I'm like, holy fuck, dude. Like, this is fucking crazy. We might fucking lose. Yeah, but it's- But now I look back and I'm like, that was awesome.

But I think those are the perspective shifts that allow the opportunity to tell the great story. And I think at the end of time, that's where greatness is built. And like, I look at traveling across the country and driving and staying every shit hotel is a great experience, you know, and being able to adjust that mindset that these are all that really life is just a great experience, the peaks and the valleys. You have to learn to appreciate the low, which is a loss or a low in general to understand, to appreciate and truly

appreciate the higher, the win, you know? And so the win is never as high as it can be unless you understand the low and being able to go through the valleys and really take that in, taking the pain, taking the struggle, taking the tough times because dude, whether it's physically or financially, like the low, the perspective shift of being able to appreciate that. Like, dude, I remember in recent years, I was telling these guys the other day, like, I know what it's like to have 500 bucks in my bank account. I remember what it's like to have fucking nothing, like literally a hundred dollars. We were talking about this yesterday about the fear of losing money.

Like, dude, I'm a money fucking hoarder. You know what I'm saying? Like I got shit stuffed everywhere for that reason. Cause I understand. How much you put up your ass? Not as much as you. And understanding that you've got to buy a lot of cars. So no, you got to understand like. Wouldn't that mean there's less money in my ass? No, you got to buy a lot of cars. So, no, you've got to understand like-

Wouldn't that mean there's less money in my ass? No, you've got to save it. That's where you save it. I think he got you on his hour. I don't know. Just because you're like, oh, and 400 doesn't mean he's going to get me either. No, but I think the ability to appreciate the valleys makes the peak that much better. And I look at the journey, like our professional journey here is do those struggle that, and this is where a lot of people,

like they try to avoid the struggle when the struggle is where everything's made for all the stories told. That's where the persistence and the consistency and the love and the appreciation for the end journey. That's when you're there. Cause you look back and you're like, dude, holy fuck. We've gone a long fucking way. You know, what's cool about that too is like, there's, there's a, there's like a innate respect for dude you know what's cool about that too is like there's there's a there's like a innate respect for people who have gone through shit like that that you just immediately recognize like yeah take weight loss yeah you know i'm saying you look at somebody somebody's lost 200 pounds that motherfuckers got it yeah you know what i mean you're like

you know this dude gets it he knows what he's doing that's right like he's been there like or you know the things that you've done you know, go through seals, you know, create a podcast, create businesses, run, you know, 118 miles in a fucking two days. You know what I'm saying? It's crazy shit. What's the toughest thing you've ever done? Yeah. The toughest thing that I've ever done, man. Physically.

Oh, physically. Okay. Dang. That changes the answer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we can go down the mental thing in a minute, but I think you might've touched on it. Yeah. That, that changes the answer. Um, you know, it's, it's really hard to say brother. I mean, I'd say in, in the recent years, I'd say the toughest, uh, the toughest race I've ran physically was probably that mid-state mile race that we did a few months ago. That was this past summer. Can you explain that?

Yeah. So it's a one mile loop and you have a bunch of really qualified runners show up and you run this one mile loop continuously until only one person is left. One person's left standing. And the caveat is the loop's on trail. It's nasty, rocky, rooty, East Coast Trail, right? And it's got over 350 feet of elevation gain and loss over the course of the mile, which is significant. Now, when you start to talk about a hundred miles on that course, you're talking about 30 plus thousand feet of elevation gain and loss. So, uh, I ended up winning that day. It, you know, it came down to me and another guy named Greg, Greg runs for the American national ultra running team. Really solid dude. I didn't think I could beat this dude.

Didn't matter to me, dude. I was going to keep coming. I was going to give him hell. How did you know you were going to win though? So there was a distinct moment. I'm a trash talker now. So I was getting in this dude's head, right? I'm a trash talker. And there was a distinct moment where I knew I was going to win though. Greg comes to me in between one of these one mile loops and he looked at me and he said, Chad, we've got six hours till we hit a hundred miles. And I just smiled at him. He probably thought I am a little crazy, but he probably thought I was freaking crazy. Cause he's like, why is this dude just, I didn't even respond to him because in that moment it clicked and i was like roger that man greg was

looking six hours ahead right and i knew in that moment that it wouldn't be long so right and so that's when i showed a little strength also oh yeah another part of it so i i'm a i'm a gray man dude so i finished last i finished in the back of the pack every one of those one-mile loops for 30 straight hours. Very last. Nobody even know who I was until there was only like three or four people laughing. They were like, who is this cat? We ain't seen him the whole.

It's because I was in the back of the pack, right? You know, I'm fine with that. Pride is not a thing for me, man. Like, you know, I was the same way in seal training and uh showed a little strength you know and and greg was overextending mentally i played this game this old shoe for me man and of course it wasn't long now now what's interesting is greg was taken out of the race because his body shut down. Literally, this guy couldn't walk. There's a video on Instagram of Greg crossing the finish line,

and he literally cannot walk. His quads were just in knots, right? So he was still there mentally, but his body shut down. Now, why did his body shut down? Starts in the head. It shows you how powerful a thought like that is, overextending yourself mentally. The things that you say, right? Did you know that your tongue, the things that come out of your mouth, do you know that that's the rudder of your entire life? This is no joke. I've got a

hundred stories around that simple concept. All right. Bro, I believe it. You speak it into reality. 100%. You know, and there's, like you said before, Andy, you still got to toe the line. Oh, yeah.

But when you're in the heat of battle, you need to say the right things, right? You need to say, I don't cuss. Now, that's not a Christian thing. This is an odd thing to say on Real AF Podcast. That's not necessarily a Christian thing. It's because I've analyzed my speech, and I've said, man, and I learned this in SEAL training. I remember diving under a massive aircraft carrier, and I had this little limp at mine, and I was thinking, where do I need to place

this mine? How can I disable this freaking massive vessel with this little bitty explosive? I just put it on the rudder, right? And that ship can't leave harbor. It's completely disabled. So likewise, your tongue is the rudder of your life, man. And you'll see if you go and do things like I do, you'll see when somebody will lose control of that rudder just a little bit, right?

And it creates a physical response, physiological response. Their body starts to shut down. It's powerful, dude. It's powerful, man. So I've analyzed my speech and I've tried to cut out every needless that anything that's not speaking life into me i got no interest in it man because i'm on a freaking mission dude i'm on a mission i can't die y'all don't know that about me i can't die until my mission is over, I cannot die.

What is your mission? Dude, I mean, it's a little early to be talking about this, man, but, dude, I'll be straight up, will you, brother? Yeah. I said, you know, the no cussing thing is not a Christian thing. I'm sold out on Jesus, man. Yeah. I'm sold out on Jesus.

Dude, I was overseas, and some some stuff happened and we can talk about that if you want to but i do want to talk about that i i heard about this people think i'm crazy no no no i want to talk about this too because i have my own story because i heard this story before you came here but i want to i want this is this would be a good time to go there yeah man so i was overseas i was staying in this place um and uh with me and four other dudes and i man i get my heart starts pumping a little and this is not the story you're probably thinking you're about to hear but we're staying in this place man and uh that no kidding man there was a there was like an evil spirit or force in this place, right? Yeah. And just some stuff started happening. Like not only like bumps in the night, voices, like weird crap, dude.

Yeah. But oppression, heavy oppression. Yeah. On the team. Like we couldn't even operate, man. So it wasn't just you. It was the whole team. It was the whole team.

So all these dudes were experiencing this stuff. Same thing, yeah. Get this. I'm getting operate, man. So it wasn't just you. It was the whole team. It was the whole team. So all these dudes were experiencing this stuff. It's the same thing, yeah. Get this. I'm getting goosebumps, man. At the end of one week, we had all five dudes sleeping in the same room together. Yeah. Five Navy SEALs sleeping in the same room together. Now, you're talking about some badass dudes, right?

I'm talking about dudes. Yeah. But you can't shoot a fucking ghost bro i don't know what i don't know what it was man and now again you guys can take this or leave it man this conversation is not for everybody but i'm just telling you the truth i got nothing to sell you if you're listening to this i got nothing to sell you i got no reason to lie to you i'm telling you what happened i called my little brother back stateside yes navy, Navy SEALs have cell phones on deployment. That's the luxury of being a SEAL. I had a little flip phone, called my little brother. I knew he was a Christian. I said, hey, man, there's some

weird stuff going on here, and I don't know what to do, but we can't operate. We can't sleep. What, what, what, you got any advice for me? He said, well, let me put you in touch with my mentor, my pastor, right? His pastor calls me. I freaking, he says, put me on speakerphone. I walk him around this place. I wait till all my buddies are gone, by the way, because I'm like, man, this is crazy, man. And so I walk around this place, and this guy just prays over this place that we're in. And I kid you not, like total peace returned to that place. Now, I said, there's some power here. Something just happened. I don't know what happened, but something just happened. And I want

to figure this out. I want to dig a little deeper into this. Right. And it wasn't just me. The other guys, the other guys noticed it too. And so, so I did, man. And, and that's kind of what started that. That's how I started with my whatever. I'm not a religious dude. Your relationship. I'm a servant. I'm a servant of Christ, literally a servant of Christ. And, you know, so that happened.

I got back home. I got back home changed, dude. I'm thinking, man, my marriage is going to be awesome, right? I didn't want to watch porn anymore. Everything changed, dude. Now look, I'm not perfect. Anybody listening to this realize I am not perfect by any means. I'm fallible. You're not supposed to be perfect. That's right, brother. So I get back home. I told you about my wife. She was literally almost dead. She'd be asleep for three or four days at a time, man.

And she was on the verge of dying. And, dude, I had this new thing that I had just recently learned called prayer. So I started to march circles around my house and pray for her and all this. And about a month or two later, man, she got clean. Like, she had to go through the process, right? But she made the decision to get clean. And, you know, I can't attribute that to anything. There's no other reason why.

It wasn't anything I was telling her to do. I get it. You know, and so this has happened. Even on that deployment before I got home, a lot of things, God revealed himself to me in a lot of very real ways and really set my faith in concrete. He knew what I was about to have to fight when I got home, right? And that's when I wanted to quit on my family. That's when I wanted to quit, right?

And that's when my little brother, he hit me back up. You don't have a choice, man. Where did he get that from? He got that from the Bible, right? That's a principle of marriage. A lot of the stuff we talk about, the Bible's the best book ever written. I don't even have to go into that, man. But a lot of the wisdom that we talk about, no matter how you believe,

you don't have to be sold out for Jesus. If you want good principles to live by, to be successful in life, there's no better place to go. Than the Bible. That's it. Dude, our whole show, you see you, we just met,

you guys don't understand. So Chad and I just met recently. We don't know each other that well yet. We're going to know each other real well though. I can tell, but my show, the MFCEO project was me, an entrepreneur,

successful entrepreneur, and a pastor. And that was the whole theme of the show. And all the principles we talk about and people don't, we never, we never led with, Hey, this is a show about Jesus. Yeah. We never led with that. But all the principles we talk about in that show, they're all based in faith. And it took it. Sometimes people never picked it up. Sometimes people, it took them years to pick it up and they'll come in and I'll be like, holy shit, dude, you guys are like speaking the Bible with, with like F-bombs. I'm like, no, dude, it's it, it, the principles of success

really are in that book. They really are that. And, and you know, um, dude, I, I, that story gives me chills, man, because I I went through a similar experience as well. No way, dude. Yeah, dude. Have you shared that ever, Andy? Not really on the podcast, but I'm going to now. Man, that's awesome, bro. Yeah, so, and a lot of people don't, I don't, I'm not a, I guess, like preachy guy, right?

Like, dude, I believe that you have to discover these things on your own. Agreed. And, and I believe that when you force them on people, it actually pushes them away a hundred percent. And so, so what I've always tried to do is do it one at a time, right? Um, I guess it would call it my Christian duty, you know, um, to try and talk to people, but I never pushed it ever. I just tell them my experiences with, you know, to try and talk to people, but I never push it ever. I just tell them my experiences with it. And, and, and dude, when this happened, this was 2018, the story I'm about to, or was it 19, 2019 or 18, 19. It was only a year and a half ago, bro. And you know, my life was good, dude. Like I thought I had, I had a lot of shit figured

out, right? Like I understand the power of, of, of visualizing. I understand the power of, of attracting things. I understand the, all these different little things sort of figured out. And I had no reason. Okay. And it took a long time to build this pool. And we moved in after a year of owning the house. We finally moved into the house and this was May of 2019. And in august of 2019 so we had the pool for the whole summer um my niece sloan uh came over for her birthday party and she was three and during the the birthday um it was her her sister and then a few of their cousins and two adults. There was five kids, two adults, nobody's drinking. This is, this is nobody's doing anything. This is the middle of the day.

And you parents listen to this story. You need to be real careful around swimming pools. It's a big deal. Cause I, I actually saw the video of the event that I'm about to describe and it happened instantly. So Sloan, my wife, Emily was, was watching the kids with her sister and Sloan had gone out of the pool and her sister wanted to go out of the pool. And so while Emily was taking the water wings off of the sister Sloan wandered into the pool and stepped off one of the steps and went straight to the bottom. She couldn't swim and, uh, she drowned and, um, uh, yeah. And, uh, and by the time Emily turned around, she had been in the water for about, I, I think it was about a full minute, um, underwater, which, which is a long time for a three-year-old for an adult. It's different.

So for a three-year-old, it's a lot different. And, um, so Emily jumped in the pool, pulled her out, started CPR. She did six rounds of CPR. Um, and Sloan had thrown up. She came, she came back a little bit puked and then inhaled her vomit. And by this time, the, the medics had been called and they showed up. We live right across the street from firehouse. And those guys were awesome, man. Um, but they, they took her, took her to the hospital. And by the time she got to the hospital, uh, you know, she had stopped breathing, you know, all of this stuff. And, um, and that's, that's when I showed up, when I showed up, they had like 30 people in the room. They were performing CPR on this human, this big, you know what I'm saying? You're seeing her stomach go like this. And, you know,

it was fucking terrible, bro. Like probably the, not probably the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. And, um, the, the chaplain was in there, you know, given her last rights. Like, I mean, it was, it was, it was bad. And, uh, they ended up stabilizing her, um, and they put her in a coma and she was in a coma for 16 days and with no, no real activity, no, no signs that she's going to pull out of this. And the doctors are telling us this whole time that, uh, she's going to pull out of this. And the doctors are telling us this whole time that, uh, she's probably not going to make it. And if she does make it, she's going to be fucked up, right? Her brain's not going to work right. And dude, uh, you know, I went to Catholic school. Um, you know, I've been to church, you know, I'm not a consistent church guy.

But that, that day during the time that she was in the hospital, I had, I had a public speaking engagement that I had to go to. I couldn't get out of it. And so I didn't want to leave because I was, I mean, dude, every day when you're dealing with something like that, you know, if you've ever dealt with some, some, a serious issue every day is, is up and down, man. You're like, it's like you're, you're engaged, you know? And so I flew to Arizona and I spoke at my friend Cody's event. Um, and then I was flying to Idaho to speak at my RTA syndicate event, our summit, which was a two day summit. And you know, I'm not in the mood to speak, you know? Yeah. That's tough, man. Yeah. So, so, uh, and dude, I'm an open book.

Like if you've ever heard me speak or you've ever seen me, like what you see here on the show, where I'll just say what's going on, it's the same way I'll say in front of 10,000 people, it doesn't matter. And, uh, so I, I said, uh, I kind of told the story of what was going on to the, to the group. And, um, uh, for some reason, dude, like I, I, uh, and I never did this before ever. Like I'm not this, I'm, I've never been this kind of dude, but I asked everybody to say a prayer and everybody for like a minute, you know, said their own little prayer. And then I flowed, I flew out of Idaho the next day. And, uh, I have, we had 120 people at the summit and we went through the summit. And then

finally on the last day, I kind of let everybody know what was going on. And, uh, the first time ever, dude, like I actually like led a prayer, right? Like I, I got up in front of everybody my whole life. I never did this before. Um, and I, and, and I got everybody to, uh, to participate 120 people in our, our take group. Um, we said, we said, you know, a two minute prayer, but you could feel it, dude. Like, you, you know, you know how, like when people are really doing really praying, you could feel it. And you you know you know how like when people are really doing really praying you could feel it and and i know people are gonna hear this shit and be like nah dude i'll just fucking say yeah right yeah but it but it ain't it ain't that way these are good

people these are people that that are are successful in life that stand for the right things and everybody prayed dude and uh and i flew home the next day and she woke up that day right out of the blue and, uh, and, and not expected to wake up. Um, the doctors were completely like what happened? Like she just woke up and, uh, and, and dude, that was the same realization that you had. That's when it, like, when you say, like, you said it, like, set it in stone or set it in the concrete, that was it for me too, man. And, uh, you know, what I realized from that is, is that there's power in collective prayer. You know what I'm saying? And, and, um, and I, I want to say too, that, you know that in the current situation of what's going on in the world with all this unrest and all this crazy stuff, don't discount that power, guys, because it's

real. It's real shit. And I talk about it a lot in the terms of the universe, but it's real, man. And that's it. And, uh, that one experience now, by the way, uh, she just had her fourth birthday. You know, she's super healthy, super smart, super funny. Yeah. She's super funny. You know, like it's just, uh, it's just crazy, man.

And, and, and every time I see her, I think about that. Like I'll think about every time i see her for the rest of my life i'll think about what god did for her you know what i'm saying and uh and dude i totally i totally can relate to that man um you know a little different a little different way but you know no i'm gonna tell you what brother it i don't give a i don't give a crap what anybody that listened to this listens to this thinks about that yeah because it took a lot of courage to tell that story right there it took a lot it took a tremendous amount of courage and i want to commend you and thank you for sharing that with us yeah if nobody else listens to that, it was worth me driving to Missouri to hear that.

Because you know what you've just done to me? You've lit a fire in me, brother. You just lit a fire in me, son. That's what, when you, when I hear stuff like that, I mean, I've been wanting to jump up out of this chair for the last five minutes. It doesn't. The thing about this stuff is like,

you know, people discount it because it's, it's, it's not being taught anymore, man. It's not being, you know, when we,

when we were kids, it was different than it is now. And, and, uh, I don't know, man. I,

I, uh, I don't know. I. I don't know. I mean, I think we see it a lot. Like you were saying, we see it a lot in society. I think the most important thing for me, I'm not a very religious person. I'm more spiritual, right? But I think the one thing that I love about it is that it gives you a certain amount of hope, right?

No matter what situation you're in. And then we look at what's happening right now and and in the world they're trying to remove that hope from people they're closing churches they're making yeah you know and so it's like you know when you see you know it's not the obvious power thing right there's power in the hope there and then you see who's trying to remove that type of stuff what effects is that going to have on people? You know? Well, a lot of, a lot of life comes down to belief, man, you know, and, and where there's a will, there's a way. And, and you have to believe. And, you know, like you tell that story and Chad tells his story and, you know, and I, well, dude, fuck, you remember that whole thing.

I mean, dude, it was, it was hard on you. Yeah. I lived through it. And, you know, you look at in, in belief, you know, and you have to not only believe in that she can get through it, but you have to believe in God and then you got to go back and, you know, you look at in, in belief, you know, and, and you have to not only believe in that she can get through it, but you have to believe in God. And then you got to go back and, you know, before we get all, you know, going down the whatever road we're going to go down, you know, you have to believe that's why God gave you a voice in order to do this. So you could share one story.

Come on. Do you know what I'm saying? And so like you, you, you really start peeling back the onion and you start looking at law of attraction and you start thinking about God and you start thinking about, you know, without belief, you have nothing. And because that's the, that's the fact, that's the driving factor, what forces you to quit because you don't believe. And the second, and Chad, when you start talking about right foot, left foot, the second you let doubt come into your brain, you don't, you no longer to believe.

And when you look at that into the spiritual, you know, manner of life, you have to believe. And that's the importance of understanding that the world's bigger than you. And there is a guiding force and there's a guiding light. And you have to believe that you're meant for greatness and whatever that is, what you want in life, you know, and you have to believe first in order to go have the will to go fight for it and the will to believe that it can be possible or that it can happen. And, you know, if you don't believe, then it'll never happen because you're never going to work for it. Yep.

You know, and so I look at, you know, the three factors there of understanding that, you know, why did God give you a voice? He gave you a voice because he gave you a story and an opportunity to share that story so that you can empower that belief for other people. And I believe that happens every day. You know, and sometimes it's in bigger magnitudes to bigger people for a purpose. But you have to believe that there's other people. And I believe that happens every day, you know, and sometimes it's in bigger magnitudes to bigger people for a purpose, but you have to believe that there's a purpose. I know that sounds fucking crazy. No, no, it does not sound crazy. You talk about belief, man. Look, I've been in this space now for about a year and a half. I've retired January 2019, right? This space of, of just self-improvementprovement on all different levels, body, soul, and spirit,

right? And guess what? You guys have seen it. You see people come and then they just fade away, right? They come and go. They come and go. I'm interested in permanent change. I want to see people changed permanently. This is the way. This is the only way. This conversation that we're having right here, this is the only way to permanent change. I have come to that conclusion. All right?

We want to talk about belief. We want to go down the rabbit hole of how people are truly believing the lie. When you see people, how in the world you see these people advocating for certain lifestyles, decisions, and actions. They're advocating for these things. And guys like us, we look at them and we're like, this is quite obviously not good for humanity. Yeah. Not just not good for Christians or not good for the country. I'm talking about humanity, lifles choices and decisions we could name it all but we're not gonna name it all because they'll probably take us off of freaking itunes

if we did but look in there yeah i just said dude did you know that i just had fucking two episodes ago i got i got blocked from itunes holy yeah dude they took my whole they took my whole fucking showdown and then everybody right kidding gotta be kidding me, bro. No, dude. And so you said, I don't know how many people listen to this, a whole fucking lot. And dude, they got pissed. And I guess you guys raised hell with Apple. Thank you.

Because the next day I was back at number five. Unbelievable, man. But is it? What's that? But is it? But is it unbelievable? Is it really unbelievable in today's world? Well, no, it's not but

and and so back to that belief topic you look at these people man and you're like how do these people actually believe this it's a clearly it's clearly not advantageous for the human race as a species to make these decisions you You know what I mean? Dude. Well, and here's even, we're going to pile on top of that. When you have the statistical data that shows you exactly what the truth that

dude, you listen to me. I don't care who you think you are or who you are or whatever. The numbers don't lie they never fucking lie ever and if you're in business and you don't understand that concept you're gonna be bad at it and if you're a human and you don't understand that concept you're gonna learn it one way or the other numbers don't fucking lie that's it if you get on the fucking scale and it says 300 pounds and you don't think you're 300 you're fucking 300 fat ass you can sell you 260 that's part of the deal yeah right so you know dude i i've been like that like i've gotten on the scale

and it said 350 i'm like no way dude i'm like 320 the numbers don't matter the numbers don't matter to these people though you you can give them as many numbers as you want yeah and and so the all the people that are left well the problem is what we talked about this morning. There's so much misinformation purposefully being propagated to people that they don't know what to believe. So now anything that even is statistical fact, they're like, no, that can't be true if it goes against what they already believe to be true. And so we have a major problem in the world right now with this exact concept we're talking about with understanding what the fucking truth actually is. And, and under also further understanding that you should seek the truth, regardless of if it goes along with what you believe or don't believe, because if you seek the truth and it's something that you, you,

it's something that favors you, great. But it's not always going to. And when it does it and you seek the truth and it goes along, or let's say it goes contradictory to what you believe, guess what? There's an opportunity there. And the opportunity is to get better and to learn and to realign. And what I've been witnessing this whole year is a lot of people who have become delusional about what is actually fact.

You hit it. You just hit it. Yeah. You just hit it. Oh, yeah. And so that's the thing, Andy. Yeah. That's the thing, man.

And let me read you something right here. Yeah. Because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for that cause, God shall send them a strong delusion that they should actually believe the lie. All right. So this is what's happened. First of all, we got to define what love is. Love is not an emotion. This is saying that we need to learn to love the truth, right? The truth, if you're confused about what the truth is, if you're confused about a lifestyle choice action decision, it's easy. You don't even have to reference the Bible.

All you do is you look at what that thing is and you say, what are the fruits of this thing? What is this lifestyle choice or decision going to produce? Look at the fruits. Look at the repercussions of it. Now, when you analyze that and you say, all right, it's either going to produce good things, positive things, good things for humanity, for growth, for whatever it may be, then it's the right thing to do, right? But if you analyze it and the fruits of it are bad, it's obviously not the right thing to do, all right? So knowing the difference between right and wrong, that's pretty easy, right? But the line between right and wrong is nearly non-existent now. You said it right there. Now. Yeah. It's been purposefully clouded and purposefully tarnished

over the last 20 years. This is not an accident. No, no, not at all. Yeah. And dude, you, now we're tying a whole bunch of shit together, but you spending a very significant portion of your life in third world countries, you can recognize what's happening right now in terms of the purposeful confusion of the masses for the gain of a few, right? And dude, you know, this situation that we have going on bro it's it's fucking dangerous so what so i mean you but you know and what's the solution you know because we we sit here man and we talk we we know what's happening right people are literally people have been turned over to a reprobate mind. People's conscience has been seared with a hot iron.

Literally, they can no longer see the difference between right and wrong. Now, what's the solution? Now, this sounds harsh, but if you've reached that point, if you've denied the truth for long enough, if you have not loved the truth for long enough, and you've reached that point where you legitimately can no longer see the difference between right and wrong, I cannot help you. This is terrible to say, but there's almost no hope for those people, right? That's okay because we've still got enough good people left to change this tide. There's enough good people left, especially in this nation, that know the difference between right and wrong. So what is the solution? In my mind, one solution is for those people like us that are

left, that see the difference between right and wrong, it's for us to plant our flag in the ground, to take a stance. And so there's a huge movement, especially in influencers, businesses, right? There's a huge movement around the whole, dude, you do your thing, I'll do mine, right? That doesn't work. No, that's the fucking problem, bro. That's what has led us here, right? Yeah. And so-

All these people, dude, like I talked i talked so much you know how many people when i say like dude you heard me do my story today my my story my business owners after yeah bro it was awesome too yeah yeah but like look man i'm telling the truth right so people look guys you know in your heart what's right and wrong. It's conscience. You know. Yeah. You don't have to be this educated human.

When you are consistently acting in a way that you know and you feel in your heart is not okay and not right just to go along because you don't want to get heat from somebody who thinks that way, dude, you are, you are ruining all the character traits of yourself. You are eroding the trust in yourself. You are eroding the belief in yourself. You are eroding the confidence in yourself. You are eroding your character. And this is why this problem is such a big problem. And people are so hesitant to pick

sides for all kinds of reasons, right? Like, and dude, I've always been one of these people. I'm a person who, dude, I want to be left the fuck alone. Don't mess with my fucking business. Don't mess with my family. Don't mess with my people. And you can do whatever you want. But what I've learned is that that is what has gotten us here. And I'm as guilty of it as anybody else because I have, you know, tried to reason with people that are unwilling to be reasoned with at all. And so you can't reason with those people. And the truth of the matter is,

is that, and I said this on my story today, you know, a lot of the reason why people won't stand up, bro, is because they think it's going to cost them money. The more you have, the more you have, the harder this is. And Andy, you've turned the corner, brother. Son, you have went full tilt. But the more you have, the harder this is, right?

Because it was hard to get. 100%, brother. So you the harder this is, right? Yeah. Because it was hard to get. 100%, brother. So you struggled your whole life, right? And I get this. But I want to talk this out, man, because there's so many people right now that are listening that DM me. And they're like, fuck yeah, dude. I wish I could share this. Well, first of all, you don't need to share my shit.

Say your own shit. Say it in your own way, in your own voice. my share your shit your audience your audience responds to you not me okay so stop trying to use everybody's shit and start speaking your own truth that's number one but number two is this what you what these guys fail to realize and that because peace this is politically correct culture right this piece this shit started 25 years ago they took the fucking pledge of allegiance These guys fail to realize. This is politically correct culture, right? This shit started 25 years ago. They took the fucking Pledge of Allegiance out of America or out of the schools because it's offensive.

That's where it started. And then it went here, here, here. And the reason they call this shit a color revolution is because it's fucking imperceptible to fucking understand and see. It's little by little by little by little by little wait hold on hold on hold on hold on i forgot gotta put on my tinfoil hat before we're gonna talk about this shit all right it looks good on you all right oh that's epic i got i got going i got going on my shit without the tinfoil hat. Now all you motherfuckers that are going to say that I need to wear a tinfoil hat, I fucking

got you, bro. Stylish. That's right. It's a little Gucci tinfoil hat. So now that I got my hat on, I can talk about this shit. So, oh, you think I'm kidding? Bro, where did you get the hat? Jason got it for me.

Oh, that is fucking classic. Oh, that's epic. Yeah. So while I have my have my hat on we're gonna start talking about some real shit you guys have to understand that what pc culture actually does is in the long term it eliminates any speech or opinion at all because anything you say and anything you do is offensive to someone and what happens? And a lot of you guys struggle in business because of this concept I'm talking to right now. So if you think I'm just going off, understand that there's practical advice here. The reason you struggle to post things, the reason you struggle with getting a following, the reason you struggle

with getting traction on your business is because you're fucking afraid to take a stance on fucking anything. And that makes you irrelevant. Okay. So it's fear. Now, the reason we have this fear is because for the last 20 years, we've been told over and over and over again, that if you say this, it's wrong. If you say that it's wrong to these people, if you say this in the middle, it's wrong too. So now we're in this scenario where they've polarized, or I'm sorry, paralyzed our opinion and our willingness to even communicate. Like, I fuck, I don't want to say that. Like, I don't want to tell this joke because DJ might get offended, you know? And I don't want to, you know what I'm saying? And so dude, we have this scenario now

where, you know, we don't communicate and it's eroded our ability to even connect as humans. And so when you look in the world and you see all this division about every single thing, when you see the race division, the socioeconomic division, the cultural division, the, fuck all the divisions i mean what what are you about today divide and conquer yeah that's the whole tactic that is the whole point of this and that is people think this is an accident like we got here by accident this has been intentionally installed into our society for a reason and the reason is what we're seeing in 2020. Okay. That's the truth.

All right. You guys want to stick your head in the sand and act like it's not happening. No, it's fucking happening or it doesn't affect you. Well, it's going to affect you. It might not. See,

that's the thing. It might not affect you today. It might not affect you tomorrow, but if you have kids and you have any bit of life left, go ask the people of Venezuela what they think. Go ask the people in Bosnia what they think. Go ask the people of Cuba what they think. Bro, do you think it's an accident that we have all these foreign Americans who have immigrated here from other places that are saying hey I didn't come here for this shit motherfucker. I came here to get away from this shit

They're dude and your guys's silence and your guys's uh, you know want to not lose a sale or not make your Crazy aunt mad at you or not get catch heat is actually creating the fucking heat. And if we would all just say, hey, we're not fucking doing that. And people would stop closing their businesses and people stop listening to these people. You know, part of being a great American is the resistance. Part of being free is resisting. That's how we got here. No, you have a moral obligation.

And guess who said this? Martin Luther King. You have a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. That's part of being a free American. And we have right now all these people making these crazy rules that don't make any sense for fucking anybody but them. Because they're getting some sort of benefit from it. And if you guys don't resist that shit and you don't stand up to it,

we're going to be in deep shit and you're not going to like it. And you say, oh, well, you know, I've heard this. Oh, and I want to debunk all your reasons too real quick. Oh, well, I don't want to speak up because AOC says she's going to make a list of, motherfucker, I'm going to tell you this. If you voted for Trump, you're on that list already.

So you better speak the fuck up. Okay. Second thing. If I, if I, if I speak out, I'm going to lose business. No,

you're not because people are sick of the fucking crazy PC companies propagating this fucking bullshit. These companies who are in with China. Okay. And they're China's huge market for them. So they're playing along. These people, people are sick of that. They want other options. They want other things to buy from.

And if you own a company and you believe in America and you believe in freedom and you believe in the Constitution and all these things, a classic American company that believes in what America should be about, guess what?

People are starving to buy from those companies. People are starving to support those companies. They're starving to wear their gear. Okay. So you CEOs out there who are listening to the show thinking, fuck dude, I don't want to do, that's why you can't, that's why you're struggling because you're afraid. You're afraid to be anything. And when you, when you're afraid to be anything, you're nothing. Because you're afraid. You're afraid to be anything. And when you're afraid to be anything, you're nothing. And dude, this is the problem in America today. Like today was December 3rd.

This is the problem in America. Bro, one point that I pulled from what you said. Can I take this shit off yet? I think it actually looks good. I'm going to wear it for a while. It's a natural fit. You know know what i'm saying but i think about the frog in the in the pot of water man and that's exactly what this is if you put a frog and you throw him in a pot of boiling water he's gonna jump out yeah but you put him in some room temperature water and you slowly crank up that temperature he's gonna die dude and that's why i'm so vocal right now about not closing down

because if you fucking close down this time, you ain't ever getting it back. They're going to tighten that fucking noose and it's going to be bro. And it's going to be, it'll be this every dude. I saw an article the other day, uh, and I can't remember where I saw it. It wasn't some bullshit site. It was a real site where they said they're going to, they're going to continue fucking lockdowns after a vaccine, which by the way if you get a vaccine that that is that is uh 95 effective against a fucking virus that is 99.97 safe survival rate under the age of 70

and you get a vaccine where 21 of the people get serious side effects you're a fucking idiot period that's it but don't get mad when your kids start counting abcs and all they can say is move dude that's gonna be it dude dude i'm sorry man it's you know unless you're one of these special cases you know i fuck i don't know i can't justify it i wouldn't let my dad get it there's no fucking way bro i ran a marathon on day five with coronavirus now dude my dad's 76 dude dude. He ran three miles. The sickest he was. He ran three miles on that day.

Now I crap my pants on day four. That's just you getting older, bro. As we get older, we have a 40 rule. As we get older, our, our assholes become less reliable.

That whole trust a fart thing. That's fucking real. Don't trust it. That's it. Lay out. Yeah, it's the truth. So Andy, outstanding rant, brother. it stay out yeah it's the truth so andy outstanding rant brother outstanding rant that's the hat i had to commend you i was

getting somewhere with that where the fuck was i going doesn't matter you got there no no dude i was gonna fuck put the hat back on the point is andy what you're i mean what I get from that, man, is one, truth is self-evident. Plant your flag in the ground. If you just can't find enough courage to stand up for the truth, you just can't find it, right? There's a solution to that. If you just can't find it, you can go to this book we were talking about called the Bible, right? And then all you have to do, if you can't say, this is me saying this, you can

just read the little, like I read to y'all earlier, right? You can read that. And then it's not you being offensive anymore. It's the truth that's being offensive, right? The truth is offensive. I'm sorry, but it is. And if you can't work up enough courage to say it yourself, you have a source of truth that you can go to and you can use that. Right. All right. So there's, there, there, there's a option for you. If you need to do that, you know what I mean?

I can tell you one of the best personal successes that are skills that I've learned over time is I'm very comfortable delivering an uncomfortable message there's value there's tremendous value in that too that's a that's a gift man yeah and and like you know you got guys coming in and fuck man that's my guy fuck he's not doing well fuck this fuck back i don't want to have this fuck it i gotta have this conversation and i've carried it over to life like when the mass conversation went down in my in my kid's school, ring, ring, I'm calling the principal. We're going to have this conversation, me and

you, buddy. If I got to come down, I'm not violent. We're going to hash this thing out. But same thing goes for the, you got to stand up, and this starts in the grocery aisle. If some guy won't hold the door for an old lady or some guy's taking advantage of a situation, you got to pull your man card and stand your ground. Yeah. It's not supposed to be comfortable, you know, holding in and standing up for a value system and being a man in that particular situation. No, no, no. You just said it, bro. It's being a fucking man. Yeah. And you do. And we've got a big problem in society right now with men who won't be a man. No, no, of course. But I think, you know, like I always, I share this, you know, story, you story you know speak the truth even your voice shakes no it should be speak the truth when you're when you

know it scares the fuck out of you that's the conversation you have and i don't care if it's at home i don't care if it's at work i don't care who it's with like when you know you're in the grocery aisle and that motherfucker's being an asshole and he's picking on that old lady or whatever the fuck it is that's when you step in and that's where you that's where you pull your man card in a sense that's where you sharpen your ax because you're getting comfortable having an uncomfortable situation. And then before long, like it's not uncomfortable. Well, dude, the whole, that whole fucking, the whole, the whole issue that we're having right now comes from what you said, Chad, about the, the mind your own business thing. You know what I'm saying? Like, dude, I understand that. Cause

like, dude, I do mind my own business. I'm not. I'm not worried about what so-and-so is doing or so-and-so is doing or this person or that person. Dude, I'm going to focus on my own stuff. But you have to hold yourself and your neighbor to a higher moral standard. Yeah, but now this is where I question, not question the book, but, you know, the book was written back before social media and fucking networks i don't think it matters no no i'm just kidding you think like this is to andrew's point when you start talking about holding the line dude eventually you get tired you're just yeah but dude you know what man yeah but sell what the fuck would you rather be would you rather be would you dude i'm gonna speak for myself dude i would rather be broke and have

nothing knowing that i stay true to myself and my own integrity and my own fucking word and what i believe than to have everything the world has dang right brother guess all this stuff's gonna be gone gone i mean you ain't gonna get this stuff out of the ground right no i mean no dude i want to look back when i when i when it's my time whenever that time is and i'm i'm comfortable with that like whatever time it is if it's tomorrow tomorrow if it's a if it's 50 years from now it's 50 years from now i'm not afraid of that but what i am afraid of is when that time comes looking myself in the eye and saying fuck dude you bitched out you're gonna be judged yeah you're not even gonna have to look at yourself in the eye and saying, fuck, dude, you bitched out. You're going to be judged.

Yeah. You're not even going to have to look at yourself in the eye, brother. I mean, I know, well, we can't talk about judgment nowadays either, right? But you're going to be judged, man. And it ain't by these motherfuckers on Instagram. That's it, brother. That's the truth. That's it, man. And let's unpack the point that I was trying to make in a sense.

Sorry about that. No, no, no. You're good. You're good. No, no, I believe. No, no, no. You're good. You're good. No, no, I believe. No, it's okay. Because I believe a great deal I'm going to get judged. And I'm totally comfortable with when that situation happens, right?

You can't speak the truth to somebody who's not willing to listen. And I can't go into another person's home and rewrite their rule book. And when you start talking about standing for something, I can stand for it all day long. But I can't make them accept it. And there's a, there's a, there's a parallel shift there that, that occurs like, okay, you can, you can preach the message, but you can't make them listen. But I mean, isn't that the thing is like preaching the message, regardless of whether they listen to it or not. Yeah. But I think that's a, being a man of character and integrity. You're a living, walking, breathing machine of who you are.

And that's like something that I take a great deal of pride in myself is like, I believe in carrying and holding the conversation that exists when you're not there is the person that you are. And I agree. And I think those can only, that conversation is only derived through actions. It's not derived through fucking words. And I think this is where the whole social media land gets twisted is they think because you make a good post or you fucking got 100,000 followers on Instagram, you're important.

You're important when you can control the conversation, not there in a positive manner. When they talk about you and they say, hey, man, this guy is a man of, you know, this guy is a man of character. This guy's a man of integrity. He's a great husband. He's a great dad. He's a great leader. He's a great, and you're not there.

That's when you're fucking doing it. And when you just preach at people and you just talk to them, not willing to listen, preaching doesn't make the actionable change. It's actions. It's actions over words. You have to live that motherfucking life. You can't just talk about it. And I think that's where the difference comes in where social media land, where I'm gonna go out here and act like I'm doing it. Whereas in real life, when you're going to get judged is fucking actually doing it. And I think that's where the delineation happens for me is like, I'm not going to bark at these people over here. I'm going to go fucking do it over here. And I'm going to impact the circle that's closest to me because can you change these people? Of course, if you're living a good, positive manner, but you can only really, truly impact people that you touch. Meaning now you

can touch them through a screen, but I'm saying if you're living that or being that person of integrity or in a man of character, you can inspire people to take action, not just ingest words. Agreed. A hundred percent, brother. And you talk about that difference between living it and speaking it, right? There is a time and place for speaking it. So, you know, here's the thing. You're right. You can't. Everybody that listens to this is not going to register with them, but a few of them it will. Now, this is what you're obligated to do when it comes to the spoken part of it. When you are asked by other people where you stand, you are obligated to then tell them where you stand. Couldn't agree more.

So that is the, because you talk about the people that you can help with words, you can help that man or woman that comes to you and says, hey, what do you think about this? Because they've prepared themselves at that point to be helped, right? Or to at least have a shift in mindset. That's them asking for it, yeah. That's right. So when somebody asks you, where do you stand on this?

You're obligated to tell them the truth, where you stand on whatever the situation is. Now, beyond that, you're exactly right. You can spew it out on social media all you want. And guess what? Nine times out of 10, all it does is cause contention. So there's not a problem with that. There's not a problem. You just got to be prepared for it. If you want to use your platform to spread that message, that's wonderful, right? That's wonderful. But just understand that not everyone's going to receive that, right?

Dude, you're not obligated to do it now. I feel a little bit different. I feel like, and I've been struggling with this, right? Like this year, so when this year started happening, I was very aggressive. And I came up, because dude, I'm good at seeing shit. I'm a very logical person. Dude, I'm a Navy SEAL. This is like coming into the lion's den.

Carry on. Carry on. So, dude, at the beginning of the year, it started in December 2019, I started talking about how the media and the people who don't like Donald Trump are going to create a scenario that doesn't favor him for in 2020 when coronavirus started and they started that I started pointing it out I'm like here it comes here it comes here it comes I wrote an email I sent it out the email went out and it talked about what's happening. And I was right because it's happened. And if you go back and listen to all the episodes I put out this year, I haven't

been wrong about any of it. But when I first started it, there was heavy resistance. I got yelled at from people in my own family. I got yelled at from customers. I got yelled at from everybody. And they're like, dude, you're causing people to panic. You're irresponsible with your platform. I'm disappointed and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And dude, I don't discount criticism. I will look and see if there's any truth to it. And I would say, okay, could I be better here? Could I be better there? And if I can, I will. And that's, that's how I operate. But when it's just BS, I just, you know, it's BS. So I, I got to a point over the last three or four months where I kind of just stopped talking because I wanted people to, to let it play out. And, you know, I start, then I started getting attacked by the people who wanted me to speak out

and they were like, why aren't you speaking out? And it's like, look, dude, all I can do is show you what's going on. But now I'm back to the point, like in the last two or three days, where I feel like I'm seeing all of this. And I don't feel like many people are actually seeing correctly what's happening. And I was talking to Jason, who's one of my very best friends and one of the best help build this whole system that we got going on. And I'm like, bro, I feel and I feel like I have to tell him. Like, I feel like now I'm to the point now where it's like gotten on the edge where I'm like, fuck, I got to show people what the fuck is going on. And, you know, it is what it is.

I feel the same way andy might now my platform is not nearly the size yours is but i've reached that same point that you're talking about brother where i i i feel like man all right i don't want to be talking about this no i don't know do y'all realize we could have talked about a bunch of really cool stuff and shit yeah but i don't later but but but it's it's necessary. At this point, I feel like it's necessary for guys like us. We've been blessed with a voice like you talked about earlier. We've been blessed with this platform. And so maybe there is an obligation. That's what I feel. From certain people. Right, right, right. That's what I was getting to.

So I was getting to like, you know, I feel like now I'm starting to feel real, like I feel like enough people listen to what I have to say that they want to hear my opinion so that they can make a decision. Yeah. And so, you know, I'm going to do that and I'm going to talk about it. That's a problem in and of itself. What's that? That there are people out there that cannot think well enough for themselves

that they need to hear what Andy and Chad and Sal and DJ had to say. That's a problem in and of itself. I agree, but I also don't fault them for that because I feel like even during this time, there's been times over the years or over this year with the constant barrage of bullshit where I've even been like, I've come in and I've said to DJ, I'm like, bro, am I fucking seeing this wrong? Like, am I seeing this wrong? And I've asked all my smart friends, you know, my friends who are much smarter than me. And I said, hey, look, dude.

And I presented him with the evidence that I've seen and what I've, where I've come with my, and I said, what do you think of this? And dude, we're all seeing it the same way. And, and, and guys, if it's what I said, two podcasts ago, none of this shit that you think is happening on CNN, MSNBC, all the dude, these, these motherfuckers are all together to propagate a message to you and if you think they're telling you the truth you're in for a very rude rude awakening very soon and i've been trying to get that through people's heads over and over and over again but they come back and they say well if this was true it would be on the fucking news

i'm like bro i'm like come bro. I'm like, come on. You know, so. When I did that marathon with coronavirus, I didn't know it, but my wife had reached out to a bunch of local news networks because I did this on purpose to reconcile some stuff within my own self because I've been distraught about this whole situation. And I didn't know she did that. She told me a week ago, she was like, you know, I reached out to a bunch of news networks, told them you were doing this.

Not a single response. Oh, yeah. It's like, you know, and I didn't do it for myself. I did it to reconcile. She did that behind my back. You know what I mean? But what a wonderful thing it would have been to show on the news. You know what I mean?

The thing is, is if the news would have came out there, they're like, look at this man, this idiot, uh, endangering the lives of other people trying to go out there. No,

but it's like, seriously, I mean, that's the real, that would have been the story. Okay, dude, I got a fucking,

uh, there's cosmopolitanitan, Good Morning America. They're talking about my 75 hard program. And, you know, they say, oh, Andy didn't respond for, no, you motherfuckers didn't reach out. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's always twisted, man. They would have been saying, oh, my God, Chad's amazing.

I would have said on the news channel out here in Georgia, I said, man, Forrest Gump himself is coming through Georgia. Fucking come see it, son. No, Tom Hanks is coming through Georgia. I can't fucking see it, son. No, Tom Hanks is in Greece or something, right? No, no, no. We're talking about Chad. I know, but I'm saying about the real Forrest Gump. Yeah, he ain't joking. Don't even fucking, can't even get it.

Have you seen it? Can't even get it. Let me ask you something. Have you seen Days of Thunder? What? Have you seen Top Gun? Oh, of course. You say, of course, but you haven't seen it.

Who's the main character in Top Gun? You got Maverick. You got Goose. All right, all right. Yeah, all right. I mean. You say of course, but you haven't seen it. Who's the main character's Top Gun? You got Maverick. You got Goose. All right. Yeah. All right. I mean. You get a hall pass there.

Dude, I'm more of a Jeremiah Johnson type guy. Jamie Johnson? Jeremiah Johnson. Who's that? Y'all haven't seen Jeremiah Johnson? No. Oh. Y'all have a task for tonight.

Is that a movie? Oh, yeah. Yeah. My bad, Sal. What's up? No, you're good. I was sitting there. I got something to watch tonight, Don. Well, I figured DJ was going to throw in there

Brokeback Mountain, but I don't know where he was going to go. Bro, that's his favorite movie. He talks about it all the time. For sure. Just wait until the Blackbird's come out. Big spoon, little spoon, homie. It's funny. Something hit me there. You said you're so distraught over this whole situation and I think it's to be able to peel this back, like Navy SEAL,

you've done some of the toughest races from an endurance standpoint in the entire world, seem to be bulletproof from that standpoint. What has you so distraught through this entire situation to make you have to go battle your internal demons? That's. That's a really good question, man. And, and I'm going to tell you have to go battle your internal demons? That's a really good question, man. And I'm going to tell you what, brother. A lot of people now, and I worry about this with Andy's fight and the hard fight, a lot of people, the love in their heart has grown cold, right? The love in their heart has the love for their nation, for their fellow brothers and sisters, right? And so I guard that. I'm very conscious of that within myself.

And it hurts me inside, deep down in my heart, in my spirit and soul. It hurts me to see what's happening. I was standing out in front of Chipotle down the road down here last night, and there were a bunch of people out there, had the masks on. By the way, the mask is hell on a beard. They had their masks on, right? They were all on their phones, and they were scared to death. You could see it in their eyes. And now it's not like that in Georgia. So I come up here, and it slaps me in the freaking face, man. And it legitimately grieves my soul to see what's happening because this is, we are still, this nation is still the beacon of light

for the entire world. Believe that or not, we are. I promise you, we are the beacon, the last remaining beacon. I'm trying to curse out of courtesy. This is your show, Andy. I know, bro. I know, but I try to be— I don't think he's judging you.

I know, I know, I know, but when I go in someone else's house, I try to abide by their rules, you know? So, and be, you know, it's just, it is what it is. But the problem with what's happening in that regard, right? People losing faith in America, people losing. Dude, the real problem is they were never taught it in the first place you're right you're right brother they were never taught it in the first place when we were kids okay it was pledge of allegiance in the morning right and a lot of people well that's brainwashing well i hate to break it to you guys but we are a

team united states is a fucking team. And China is another team. Russia is another team. And all the other countries out there, the good ones and the ones that aren't as good, they're also their own teams. And I said this so many times this year about, dude, if somebody comes to bomb us, who are they bombing? They bombing black people or white people? Are they bombing Americans?

That's right. They're bombing Americans. And people have not been taught for the last 20 years, the price that has been paid for us to even have what we have, which has in turn cost us a creative situation where we were the majority of people under 30 years old, take it for granted. And they don't appreciate what we have.

Dude, when, when, when there's a revolution going on in fucking China, do you know what flag they carry? They carry our flag. When there's a revolution going on in another part of the world, do you know what songs they sing? They sing Star Spangled Banner. Okay? We represent that beacon of freedom and hope and all this confusing shit that you guys feel right now that you feel and that you feel and everybody listening feels. That's how people

in China feel every fucking day for the rest of their life. They don't know what's going on. They don't know the truth. They don't know. And they purposefully keep that. So those people cannot create any kind of resistance whatsoever. And so there's psychological warfare going on right now. And you and I, we called it a cold revolution, right? People aren't killing each other yet. Yet. But we are in a revolution. We're in the middle of a revolution, an attempted revolution, a coup.

And nobody wants to fucking say it. And that's exactly what's happening right now. And that's hard words to say, man. Yeah. It's hard to say that, man. I know the cost. Yeah. I've seen the cost of what it's taken to foster and protect this nation, right?

I've signed a check, payable, for an amount up to and including my life. All right. And that check is still valid. All right. But I signed it when I was 18 years old and I've seen the cost of what it takes to be the beacon. And that's why, man, that's why it grieves me to see this happening. And that's why I had to go out and do that. And like you said, reconcile something

within myself. I didn't feel like running a freaking marathon. I did it in a way to take the power away from this whole situation, but within myself. I didn't do it for anybody else, and it was freeing, man. I don't recommend it, but for me, it was freeing that now, before I did that, I would have probably came in here and had this conversation with you guys, and I would have been pissed off. Not at you guys. I would have just been amped up and pissed off. I'm not anymore, man. We've analyzed this. We know what's going on. We're doing everything that we can do to change the tide. And there is hope. There is enough good people left that if they will just do these simple things,

this can shift. There is hope. Yeah. And people listening right now, like if you're someone who did not vote for Donald Trump, this is not about politics. That's what you're not understanding. You're not connecting.

When people argue for the freedom of America, and a lot of people are like, your freedoms aren't under attack. You don't understand what's happening. You don't understand. Okay? You think you understand, and you're seeing it at surface value. And at surface value, is it a big deal to wear a fucking mask for a little bit? No, it's not. It's not a big deal. But when you look at what's happening behind it and all the other things that are happening behind it, you start to see that this is not about wearing a mask and protecting people. This is about a bigger play that's happening to create a society that is not what America stands for. That's the truth. Think of the psychological effects of this whole mass thing. Yeah.

Oh, bro. It's good. Not we won't even go down the road of the financial fallout that it's inevitable. Right. I drive down this dang road and I see these businesses. They're shut. They can't do anything man chad we don't we haven't even started the fucking painful part yet of the business like this is what people don't understand 30 of mortgages in america are past due right now are you serious 30 okay we're the next year we're gonna see it and and people people think this is

crazy maybe i should put my hat back on. All right. But what you guys are seeing is the purposeful destruction of the middle class. All right. You said that earlier. Yes. They are shutting down middle business so that the business shifts from mom and pop and small businesses and all these things to these bigger companies. All right. And what's that do? That creates a poverty line that is now there's much many more people below the poverty line. Now, what do those people have to have to survive? They need to have aid. They need to have government aid. Okay. And so the next election that comes up and they, and you got to vote, are you going to vote to get rid of the government aid or are you going to vote for it? You're going to vote for it and you got to vote. Are you going to vote to get rid of the government or are you

going to vote for it? You're gonna vote for it because you have to. And so what this is, is an implementation of, of socialism by force. And people don't understand that they are forcing these, they think it's about health. They think it's about this virus. Look, dude, I understand it's the virus is real. There's no question about it. I had it. He had it. He had it. You had it. My dad had it. We all fucking had it. Okay. It's real shit. Is it dangerous for people who are sick already? Yes. Is it dangerous for certain people who are heavy and overweight? Yes. You should probably try to lose that weight so it doesn't fuck with you okay no one's denying that there's this people hear what they want to hear never and the whole time i've been

talking about this shit have i ever said this is a hoax in terms of it being real it's a real pandemic there's a real virus and it's going to come out i believe that it was intentionally put out that's and that's already came out well you know it's put that hat back on and these motherfuckers are gonna have to go to jail for people to believe that it happened and so so what we have going on here is is is exactly what i talked about last year in december it's a it's an orchestrated an orchestrated scheme to create a scenario where one, Donald Trump doesn't get elected. And originally that's what I thought it was about. I thought it was just about getting him out. But now what I'm seeing is that it's actually about installing a permanent system of socialism in our country by force, by eliminating the middle-class business

owner. And so you guys right now who are in that, you're a small, and by the way, we were that company. We, I was a small company. Had this happened to me 10 years ago, it would have put me out of business.

Yeah. All right. So we are too. And yeah, so, so we have to understand of why it's so important to not close your business. No matter what happens, no matter what happens,

no matter if they arrest you every day for a fucking month you have to go back and open your business because if they accomplish what they're trying to force through right now america will never recover and why is there no stimulus bills talking about restarting these businesses they're talking about trillions of dollars of stimulus why shouldn't all that stimulus go back to the companies that fucking went out of business to restart their business there's no talk about that right it's because it's not about that they went out of business literally for trying to be law-abiding citizens that's right dude you know what i mean and dude we and and and and they're trying to do

the right thing because they believe i should listen and that's that's the other thing martin luther king says all just laws you have a thing Martin Luther King says. All just laws, you have a moral responsibility to obey just laws and you have a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. And in America, we have the right to open a business. We have the right to breathe the fucking air. We have a right to be free and not locked in our homes. Those are fucking rights. The constitution. Yes. It literally.

And dude, exactly that. These people who are closing their businesses are afraid. They're afraid. You know, my friend Ian Smith up in New Jersey, he's got $300,000 plus of fines. Okay. But in the long run, he's not going to have to pay those fines because what's bit, this is what you guys have to understand. There's a fucking law in this country and it's abided by it's a fact.

And when all this comes to court and all of this is sorted out and it's five years from now, those fines will not be paid by him. They will be dismissed because they're illegal. And this is what people are not understanding. And so we have this scenario going on. And this is why, you know, all of you guys who didn't vote for Trump, you're, you're, the chances are, you're going to be very fucking pissed off here coming up soon. Okay. Because the law, the constitutional law and process of America is what determines what America does. Not the the not cnn not fucking celebrities not hollywood not all the fucking motherfuckers on instagram not zuckerberg not uh turd from twitter twitter turd not any of these guys okay these motherfuckers can say whatever they want they can say whatever they want and

it's not fact it's they it's very clear to anyone who's watching right now what's happening. Oh, where's the evidence of voter fraud? Well, fuck, dude, if you're still saying that, you're not looking. You're not looking. It's willful ignorance. And at this point, willful ignorance is a spit in the face to America. Because at the end of the day, we're not Democrats and Republicans. We're not black and white.

We're not fucking gay and straight. We're not black and white. We're not fucking gay and straight. We're not any of that shit. We're all neighbors and we're all Americans. And we're letting them put this message to us to drive contention between us so that America can no longer unite. And guess what happens when America can no longer unite? It ends. It ends. It's over.

And we're very close to that right now. We're very close. And people like you guys, you guys think that I'm tinfoil hat man, but no, I'm not. I'm actually pretty fucking intelligent. And I look deep into what's going on and dude, there's three scenarios. We're going to go ahead and talk about it. Fuck it. I don't care. There's three scenarios that can happen out of this scenario, out of this whole situation that's going on with the election. Two of them end with Donald Trump. One of them ends with Biden. Okay. Here they are. Get ready to fucking pay attention. Number one, when they go to certify the election here in a few days, I think December 13th is the day. If those states that are contested do not certify the vote,

that means Biden doesn't have 270 and Trump doesn't have 270. Then that goes to a vote in Congress where they have to vote along party lines. Republicans have 30 votes. Democrats have fucking 20 each vote. Each state gets one vote. And this is, you guys don't understand this process because you never were taught it in school.

And this is not my fault. You weren't taught it. It's your fucking teacher's fault because we were taught this shit in second fucking grade. Okay. This is the process of the law. Now, when they vote that Donald Trump has to win Because they have to vote along party lines There's no way you can fuck that

And then they vote for the vice president So By math If they don't certify the vote And the United States doesn't accept the vote Trump wins Automatically And that's what you guys don't understand

As long as he doesn't concede, he automatically fucking wins. That's scenario one. Scenario two is there's an executive order going on right now that allows, and you guys can Google it, look it up that, that one I sent you so I can tell them exactly what it is so they can look it up.

There is an executive order signed in 2018 that allows Donald Trump 45 days post-election to examine the election for interference, foreign interference. Now, foreign interference doesn't necessarily mean it was China or India or whoever the fuck they're saying did it. It wasn't India, but I love my Indian boys. But I do, man. I got a lot of people from India. Listen, man, I love you guys. They're going through some got a lot of got a lot of people from india listen man i love you guys they're going through some shit right now too doctors from india dude they're good people so um so what that allows to do do you have it okay executive order on imposing certain sanctions in the event of foreign interference in the United States election, September 12th, 2018.

It is on the White House website. Now, if you go read this executive order, what this executive order does is it allows Donald Trump 45 days post-election to investigate the election. That means that after the vote certification of December 13th, he has five days after that. So even if they come through on December 13th and certify Biden, Trump has five days right there. It says it no later than 45 days after the conclusion of the United States election, the director of national intelligence in consultation with the heads of any appropriate executive departments and agencies shall conduct an assessment of any information indicating that a foreign government or any person acting as an agent on behalf of a foreign government has acted with intent or

purpose or interfering in that election. That's five days post the certification. What does that mean? And how can we deduct what could possibly be happening here? Well, here, let me do the fucking hard thinking for you. Cause I've already done it. All right. If they certify this election for Biden and there's fraud, which there clearly is fraud. And let's just say, they say, fuck it. We want Trump out and we certify the election. This executive order by law allows him to arrest any complicit party, any complicit

party, media heads, anchors, social media heads, all these people who complicit, who complied with this massive disinformation bullshit, Biden himself, anybody who supported him, Hillary, Obama, all these motherfuckers, I'm not saying they will. I'm saying he has the legal right to do so under the United States. Okay? Now, do you think, let me ask you guys something. Do you think that Biden doesn't know this?

Do you think the media doesn't know this? Do you think the media doesn't know this exists? No, they know it for sure. Fuck yeah, they know. So they know this is the rule. So now you have to ask yourself, why are they perpetuating and pushing Joe Biden as if he's already president elect? Why are they trying to sell that so hard? Why has Kamala Harris not resigned from her Senate seat? Why are all these things? Why are they do? I'm going to tell you why, because they want what happened over the summer where there was all kinds of rioting and destruction. They want that shit to happen again. The minute that this motherfucker is declared president. And let me tell you something.

I don't really give a fuck who the president is. I care about the fucking constitution. And what I'm telling you is accurate. And you're going to find out. Okay, so those are the two options. If he arrests those people and they're found guilty, they lose all their personal assets. Now, let me ask you guys something. You can say whatever you want about Donald Trump. You can say he's a piece of shit. You can say you ask you guys something. You can say whatever you want about Donald Trump.

You can say he's a piece of shit. You can say you don't like him. You can say he's rude. You can say this and that and this. But if you factually go back to anything that he said, it has come out to be true later on. That's a fact. And I don't give a fuck if you like him or not. People say, oh, he's a liar.

No, he's not lying. The media is lying. And you trust the media over him. So, by the way, this is he's a liar. He's no, he's not lying. The media is lying and you trust the media over him. So by the way, this is not a Trump thing. This is, this is what's happening. A scenario thing. Those are the two, two ways that could possibly go on. Now here's the danger. Here's why it's so dangerous. Okay. A lot of the people on the left who are upset right now, right? They burn shit all, you know, right now they're, they're cheering. They're like, fuck. Yeah, you lost. Get the fuck out. Oh, they're all gloating. What happens when you found out that you talked all this shit and you actually lost?

What happened? It feels pretty shitty. Doesn't it? Makes you mad. Doesn't it? What happens when you're mad? You do dumb shit, but here's why everybody has to be really fucking understanding and educate themselves as to what's happening because dude If these people go crazy again and go out in the streets and burn and riot and do all this shit Do you understand that? You will not be out there fighting What you think is like rednecks and patriots and shit that have all

the guns. That's not who you're going to be fighting. You're going to be fighting the fucking military, the actual military. It will be martial law. The national guard is already in all of these cities right now. You know why it's already in the cities to deliver the vaccine, to deliver a vaccine that over 60% of America doesn't want. Think about that. You think Trump's an idiot. This motherfucker is probably the smartest chess player on the face of the planet. And dude, and I mentioned a scenario where, where Biden wins. Here's the scenario where Biden wins. They certify the vote as Biden and somehow they get rid of Trump. And I don't know how, I don't know how the fuck you, I don't, I don't see, there is no path.

There's no legal path for him to actually fucking win unless they completely just turn their backs on the constitution. And in that case, that's what that fail safe is for. And a lot of people are going to go fucking insane and they shouldn't be, you guys, you guys who didn't vote for Trump, you should not be mad at people who did. You should be mad at the motherfuckers who lied to you and manipulated you and got you all riled up for a fucking reason. Now you have to ask yourself,

what is that reason? What is the reason they want you to go out and do their dirty work? The best thing that could happen to America right now is for everybody to say, Hey, fuck all of you. We're America. We're tired of you guys fucking with us. When this shit goes down, that's how it should be. It shouldn't be right versus left. It should be everybody versus them. That's the truth. And dude, you guys who didn't get your way

or didn't get this or that, dude, you've been played. You've been fucking played. And I've been saying this, and look, dude, am am i 100 no okay like could something else happen could i be seeing it wrong yes i'm fully okay saying hey i was fucking wrong fully okay if this turns out and biden becomes the clear winner and he wins and it's legal he didn't cheat and all this shit dude i'm fucking i'm still american bro let's roll i'm in all right and i'll shut the fuck up and i'll even say i was fucking wrong i read the situation wrong i'm sorry sorry guys i fucked up because i can fuck up too but i'm gonna tell you this i don't think i'm fucked up i think i'm seeing it real clear and the smart people i talk to see it real clear too. This is not some foil hat. It sounds foil hat conspiracy shit because

it is a conspiracy. It's not a conspiracy theory. It's a conspiracy. And dude, they've discounted all the people who could actually see the truth as conspiracy theorists or crazy right-wing crazy fucks. That's not what I am. And I'm a reasonable dude with an ability to look at the fucking facts and data and analyze it. And guys, I'm going to be real with you. People are going to be pissed when this all comes out and they should be, but I hope to God that everybody understands who to be pissed at, because if it's not, it's going to be fucking bad and it's going to be bad for a lot of people. And dude, that's what hurts me because as much as I don't might not agree with some of those people's views and as much as I might not, you know, I'm, I still believe they have

the right in America to have those views. I still believe that you have the right to believe anything that you want to believe and to do anything that you want, as long as it doesn't infringe on someone else's rights. Okay. Or safety or health. Okay. Or safety or health. Okay. Now we have decision to make as people in America. Are we going to be played? Are we going to fight each other? Are we going to fucking kill each other? Are we going to riot and hurt each other and destroy

each other? Or are we going to wise the fuck up and say, hey, no, fuck all of you. All you motherfuckers lying to us, the media, social media, this, that, the people who did this shit to all of us. Shouldn't we be saying, fuck you guys? I think that's what we should be doing. So, you know, I said I was going to come out and say what I think. That's what the fuck I think. Yeah. So and you can't say that. I'm not saying fucking happy holidays we can

fucking say whatever the fuck we want but dude look i know that people are listening to that and they're like dude you're fucking insane like you are fucking insane you're in you're in denial bro maybe i am yeah you've lost your marbles. I haven't though. But aside from your three points, Andy, whether, whether they're true or not, whether they play out in that manner or not, the point of we're, we're all a team, right. And, and who, and who are, who are, I guess Chad before, dude, I just want people to know, like, dude, if you're listening to this and you think I'm fucking crazy, dude, I'm concerned for you too. Like, this is why I'm sharing this.

Like, I don't gain shit from talking about this shit. Like, dude, I get heat every time I bring it up. Like, I don't want to fucking talk about this guys. I want to talk about how I'm going to talk about winning, dude. I want to talk about your missions overseas. I want to talk about all kinds of cool shit, but this is important. And, and I feel an obligation to at least open your eyebrows to the possibility that maybe I'm right.

And that's all I ask. And if I'm wrong, dude, I'll be the first motherfucker to do a whole podcast and say, man, here's where I fucked up. I fucked up here. I fucked up here. I fucked up here. And this is how I came to this crazy conclusion. And they ain't fucking lie. I'll be mad. I won't be mad at you guys. I'll be mad at them. And I'll be mad at myself. You know, I'm fine with that. I don't have,

like you said earlier in the show, uh, pride is not a thing for me. I have zero fucking ego. A lot of people think cause I'm loud and I got cool cars and shit that I got this big ego. No motherfucker. I didn't get here by having an ego. I got here by being able to process information. Let me tell y'all something about Andy. I never met Andy before in my life. And I walked into that gym just a few hours ago. And this man walks up to me with the biggest smile on his face, says, hello, what's going on?

Shakes my hand. And I thought, you don't know what to expect. You know what I mean? I saw you looking at my muscles, bro. I saw you. I mean. I mean. But look, man.

I can tell, man. You're not shooting a line of bull crap. Pride is not a thing for you. I saw that when I walked. You opened this whole thing up to me man you don't know me from anybody you know and i think it's just the right way to be bro that's it bro you know and that's and at the end of the day i guess that's a great point to cap all that shit off whatever happens whatever's gonna happen and hopefully it's peaceful dude i really hope it

is but i i don't i don't see it happening because I don't think this message is going to be heard by the people that don't want to hear it. You don't see the guys that have been to war calling for war. No, fuck no. And it's nasty, brother. And that's the other thing that we're not even, people aren't even talking about. Rogan said this and you know, there's, there's a million plus veterans, dude, that are trained in this country and have guns. And those people are not siding with the left. You guys have to understand this concept. They're not siding with the left. And like, dude, so let's ask ourselves, let's ask a logical question. Why would they set their own people up to get fucking hurt?

I have an idea, but I'm just saying, ask yourselves, why would they set their own people up to get hurt? Could it be that maybe they're going to call for, I don't know, NATO or China or someone else to come to the country and fucking aid them in their peacekeeping mission? Taking their country back. Because let me ask you something. The United States of America is a powerful country for a lot of reasons. But one of the biggest reasons is because of how the land actually lays. It's very hard for a foreign country to invade this land unless it were Canada or Mexico, and neither one of them are capable, okay?

So you got to think about things like logistics. You know all about this shit. How are we going to get people there? How are we going to command there? How are we going to get supplies there? You guys don't understand what the fuck war is. Like, you guys all think you're going to be out in the street, blah, blah, blah,'s gonna you're gonna be out in the street fucking this and that motherfucker in real war they shut off the power to shut off the fucking food they shut off fucking everything and the neighbors are

killing each other for fucking water and then they go in and fuck people up you don't fucking get it yeah am i right or wrong it trips me out man All these, I live in the South, dude. And there's some redneck dudes in the South. And you see these old redneck dudes calling for war, right? And I look at these cats and I'm like, brother, do you, you're 300 pounds with a gut and you've got a 20-gauge shotgun, do you realize what it takes, the physical capability that it takes to be effective on a battlefield? Yeah. I mean, you go out and run some patrol to contact drills or some IEDs for four or five

hours where you're getting up. You saw me today. What was I doing? Burpees to pull-ups, right? Burpees off the ground, up, jump, move, you know, sprint. It takes some. You know what's funny, dude? When I was watching you train that, I knew what the fuck you're training for.

I fucking knew it. And dude, dude, but these people don't fucking get that. And so you guys out there, you know, don't fucking go out there and do that shit. Like, if this shit doesn't go your way, don't go out in the street and fucking protest and do all this shit. Because here's what I think. I think they're setting those people up to get fucking hurt so that they can call in what the fuck they want to call in. I agree, brother. There is a better way.

There is a better way to reach a solution, man. I think if everybody could see, if that was on the news and people could hear it, everybody would be fucking together. They say, no, no more of this shit. Fuck you guys. They want news. Won't do it. They're complicit in it. And dude, I don't guys look, man, I don't have to do none of this shit.

I don't even have to show up to this motherfucking building ever again. You know what I'm saying? I don't have, I don't have to fucking post on this shit. I don't even have to show up to this motherfucking building ever again. You know what I'm saying? I don't have, I don't have to fucking post on my Instagram. I'm past that point. I don't have to do a post every day to get everybody's attention. I don't have to do stories. I don't have to do fucking shit.

I do this because I fucking care. And I, and it's real dude. And you guys out there don't want to villainize me and say, I'm fucking crazy. And this and that wrote really listen to what the fuck I'm saying. And go back and listen to what I've told you guys all year. I'm right. And if I'm wrong, I'll say I'm wrong. But right now we do not need to be attacking each other. We do not need to be in the streets fighting each other. We do not need to be fucked. We need to be fucking listening to

each other and saying, Hey dude, we all agree. this ain't fucking right. And if you voted for Biden and you're one of these people that say, oh, dude, Trump's just being this and that and this and this and this, and he's fucking a baby and he's crying. Dude, you guys are not seeing what's happening. You're not seeing it. You're brainwashed into the narrative. And I don't blame you for that because it's hard to resist. I myself am a very independent thinker.

A lot of people ask what this hat means. This is a logo I made. You know why I made this logo? Because I don't fucking buy into the right or the left. I buy into what's right. All right. So I want to be patriotic for America. So I fucking put this hat on that I made myself and designed it myself. And what this stands for, I don't know yet, but it stands for fucking what I think America is. And what I think America is, is a place where all men are created equal. Equal opportunity.

Equal opportunity does not mean equality. It means you have the opportunity for equality. It means you have to fucking work. I believe that people have the right to do what they want to do. I believe that people should be left the fuck alone. I believe in low tax. I believe in all, I believe that people have the right to do what they want to do. I believe that, that people should be left the fuck alone. I believe in low tax. I believe in high production and I do believe in America first. Fuck man. This is a competition. This isn't fucking, this isn't a fucking game, dude. This isn't fucking bring around the fucking

Rosie. That's not the way the world is dude. The world's fucking ugly, man. And you got to have people that are willing to fucking stand up for us. And dude, I'm just so frustrated with what's going on because everybody wants to get the comment. They want to type the comment that gets the attention or they want to make the story that gets the likes, or they want to say the shit that's the funniest and nobody's having real conversations. And we're in a position right now, guys, that is very fucking dangerous. It's become necessary. It is. Yeah. Do you agree?

Yeah, I do. I do agree. And, you know, the main thing that I have on that, Andy, is I think there's also been a shift where we look to these politicians as our saviors. Yeah. been a shift where we look to these politicians as our saviors. We look to these politicians and we talk about Trump and Biden and all this and that. Now, it's important who is in office, but they are there to literally serve us. That is their position. Back in the day, the president of the United States could have been a farmer. Yeah. We didn't have electricity back then, but he was a tradesman, right? And he went and served his term, and he went back to farming, right?

These politicians are not your saviors. Now, you should vote on whoever you want to vote for, not based off of this was a big thing people talking about trump's character right i could care less what that dude's like i could care less what his personality is what is his policy what what is he what is he going to bring to the table on that front right i don't care if the dude's a loud mouth it makes no difference to me man dude i'll tell you right now bro like i would probably this is and people gonna laugh at me about this i would probably get along better with obama than i would fucking trump dude i worked for obama a couple times and he was one of the the coolest cats i mean he was just right calm cool collected he had a swag yeah cool cat man

yeah i mean i would have done anything for this for this dude when it was my job to preserve his life. Yeah, for sure, bro. But, like, dude, that's not what the fuck I voted for. I didn't vote for fucking Obama. That didn't mean I hated him. I just didn't vote for him. That's right. That's it.

Do I think he was a cool dude? Yeah, I fucking did. Dude, I said that a million times. But that's not what you're voting on. No, dude. We're not saying a fucking seventh grade lunch table, dude. Popularity contest. That's it, brother.

I mean, what do you guys think of all that shit I say? Am I crazy? Am I seeing it right or am I crazy? I don't think you're crazy at all. I already knew you were crazy, but that has nothing to do with what you just said. Sal's got something on his mind. I do. I can't.

It's chomping at my bit. Go ahead. Well, you said, I'm actually, there's a couple questions for you, Chad. Since you are our guest of the day. We're in this together. I know. I do now. Were you more confused with the fact that that man was not fit for war or the fact that he thought he's going to go to war with a 20 gauge? That's question one. Question two, nine millimeter or 45. and what do you carry question three are we shooting 223 you shooting 308 what are we what are we shooting downrange dude you know i got medically retired for traumatic brain injury right yeah you just hit me with three questions we can write them

on the whiteboard i'll try to remember remember. One, 300 pounds or 20 gauge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, no, it is hilarious to me, not because of the weapon of choice that we see in Redneck's hands. It's the fact that people have no understanding of what it's like to be on the battlefield and actually conduct maneuvers and be effective, right? Physically and mentally.

People have no freaking, not even the inkling of a clue, right? This ain't deer hunting, right? We're talking about this as a serious business. Yeah. Now, what do I carry? Nine millimeter for sure. Why do I carry nine millimeter? Because nine millimeter has been mass produced and the

majority of other people carrying weapons it's probably nine mil so what do you shoot i'm a glock guy uh yeah my my carry is a glock 19x it's my favorite favorite weapon. And we knew it again. You got the other one too. Again, man, I'm a Toyota guy, right? The Glock is the Toyota pickup of the gun world. It's always going to start. What happens when you need a magazine? What happens when you need to change a part out? You come to Sal's house. I got 36 19 X mags, just in case. There you go. They're all interchangeable, right? Easy day. So there's a lot of advantage to Sal's house. I got 36 19X mags, just in case. There you go. They're all interchangeable, right? Easy day. So there's a lot of advantage to the box.

And I want to make sure that mine matches yours, so they're all flat dark earth. So you know what I mean? You can run that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's the FD. Yeah, that's my favorite weapon. You come to my house, buddy.

I won't even have to come to the mountains. I got them all there ready for you. Perfect, brother. I love it. And then for a long gun, man, definitely you got three choices for a long gun and you should have all three five five six seven six two and three hundred wind mag yeah there if you really want to reach out there and hit him with some i'm sorry brother but you ain't gonna

tote that 300 wind mag son i mean you you make contact with that round oh yeah yeah ain't nobody gonna tote it you know so that's why i'm out on that you can still move with a 223 in here but not that 300 yeah man the 22 the 223 i mean it's definitely an effective weapons platform but now we talked about deer hunting in war all right so there is kind of a correlation if i want to go shooting animal um what am i gonna i'm not gonna take my 223 dude i'm gonna take my 762 or my 300 wind mag right so you know and they got a little more reach so well i mean we always got that 45 70 in case you needed it dude within 100 yards there ain't nothing left within 100 yards you're gonna be good to go brother yes sir but no i'm a gun guy i mean now i have no i

have no emotional attachment to guns um a gun is literally just a tool to me it's uh you know how a carpenter has a hammer uh The tool is an inanimate object. The hammer, it can't, the hammer could actually be used to take someone's life, right? But as long as it's just laying or it's in the- Can you explain this to the rest of America, please? Yeah, fuck. I mean, dude, these people who, these people who think guns kill people. So I'm a tactician, right?

That's what I trained my entire adult life is to be a warrior and so my weapon is literally my tool i have no emotional attachment to it as a matter of fact that glock has four safeties i could drop it off the empire state building and it would not go off when it hit the ground right it's actually it's actually impossible for that weapon to fire unless you put your finger in the trigger well and pull the trigger all right so yeah no emotional attachment to guns but you know how andy spends money on cars you got the gun bug i'll drive some money on but but now man it's it's uh i've actually quit buying guns because now it's the freaking, no, it's the ammunition, man.

It's like, you know, if. It's hard to get. What's the point of having all these guns? That's exactly right, man. You're going to have to shoot out of them. It's getting really, really hard to find. Yeah, that's no mistake either. There's no mistake that why those things are hard to find.

You figure out. It isn't everybody buying it up. You figure out real quick. Yeah. I just bought a 30-30 rifle that Henry last week, man. They make a nice rifle. Yeah, they do. It's a beautiful gun.

Cannot find bullets for it. Yeah. And you realize real quick, I don't care how many guns you have, that 30-30 at this point, it's a big club. Yeah. It's useless. That's all it is, man. It's a baseball bat.

So, yeah, man yeah man dude just to clarify that comment people are buying the ammo but that's not the only reason you got to think about who who if you wanted civil if you wanted to take over a country what the fuck would you do take the gun you would take their fucking supplies so this is history man yeah bro and it repeats itself this is all even the the entire situation that we see right now it's it's it's literally history man look at look at the roman empire right look at the the moral decay and all the things that happened that was the biggest empire on earth right um never thought possible to be able to do that.

Exactly, man. And look at what happened. And you can translate that almost, in some cases, identically to what we face now. So it's history, dude. Oh, for sure. Where's the best place you've been? Best and worst place.

The best place that I've ever been is North Georgia, brother. I mean, I've been all over the world, man. And I think what we all, a lesson that I learned early on in life is that nothing in this life is going to fulfill you 100%. So no, it doesn't matter how extravagant the vacation is, how much money you have, what you drop, all that stuff is cool, right? And it feels good in the moment when you have those things, but nothing in this life fulfills you, right? That's because we're actually created by a God that we're meant for another life, right? So yeah, North Georgia, love it. Appalachian Mountains, that's where I train. That's where I spend all my time. Like I said, I don't go to town. Worst place I've been,

probably my least favorite place, man, was Djibouti, Djibouti, Africa. It was just, I remember flying into that place. Now I've been to a lot of nasty places, dude, but I remember flying in there. I lived in a Connex box in the middle of the desert for like a month. And it was, it was pretty miserable, man, for sure. How long were you there? A month or so. Yeah, we bounced around a lot, dude. We bounced around a lot. We deployed in small teams and got to do some different types of missions.

When the embassy in Benghazi, when it got hit, the embassy in Tunisia got hit simultaneously. That was part of that whole Arab Spring. Nobody knows about that because they didn't actually breach the embassy walls and kill the ambassador like Benghazi, but got to be on that mission as a QRF. Was that because you guys were there? We were staged. We were forward staged.

Yeah. So got to do some cool stuff very non-conventional stuff though man i had i had an interesting career from that standpoint what team are you in seal team eight okay yeah i don't know anybody from eight no it's the guys from 10 that's from two guys from six i'm really interested to see what happens to the seal platoons, dude, because I saw a thing that came out the other day, and they're actually changing the SEAL creed to be non-gender specific.

So they're pulling things out of the SEAL creed. They're changing words. So basically the standard of that warrior society is being compromised, in my opinion. I'm sure the boys don't like that. No, man. I feel for those guys that are still running and gunning right now that are doing that job. That's another group of people that I feel for because think of what they're going through mentally man when they look at what's happening in the nation and they know that they're about to have to you know go down range in

some capacity yeah and uh and then they see their their actually their ethos and their creed almost being eroded and you think man you talk about the pc thing you cannot have a true warrior culture or society that is completely politically correct i'm sorry you can't there's nothing politically correct i shoot someone the fucking face it's yeah and there's a biological difference between human beings right so you've got to you got to maintain those standards to have a true warrior society that's another thing that that is eroding that we it's not even on our map dude because we got so many other things that we've got to worry about you know what i mean but tell us about your uh your entrepreneurial your entrepreneurial mission. Yeah. And your podcast, bro.

Yeah. So, um, I started a company called three of seven projects. So the three is a body, soul, and spirit. That's what the three stands for. The number seven is the biblical number for completion. So we just try to talk about all things, body, soul, and spirit. And if you don't know the difference between those, it's, uh, the body is the physical body. The soul is your mind, your will, and spirit. If you don't know the difference between those, the body is the physical body. The soul is your mind, your will, your emotions. Your spirit is the part that connects

you to your creator, the God-conscious part of you. We try to talk about how to master, nourish, and maintain those three aspects of ourselves in order to live a more complete, well-rounded, wholesome lifestyle. So we take people out in the wilderness, man, and take them on missions and got a podcast and I get to go speak. How far booked out are you on the wilderness trips? So we'll release the dates for 2021, probably next month. 2020 is closed out. So we'll release the dates for 2021 probably next month. 2020 is closed out. So we did six courses this year. You know, I resonate a lot with Andy, dude.

I got nothing to prove, man. I live a very simple life. I don't need a lot of money. I don't need really any of that. My life is wonderful. I do this stuff literally because I'm passionate about it, man. It is. It's making a difference. We've trained 48 people in 2020 in the midst of this chaos, right? And we get groups of eight individuals that I hand select. I had over

500 applications for this. I had to choose 48 and we take them out and we develop them. And, and, uh, I mean, what an honor it is to have been able to train 48 other human beings that can go out into the world and, and take those lessons with them. And it's powerful, dude. That's awesome. The mountain, the mountain does it, you know, you take these people out there and by the second day you know we're around the campfire we're beat up we're tired we're nasty we stink and you got grown man grown men that are just breaking down and just pouring their hearts out you know into that team and uh it's been it's been wonderful brother that's cool man yeah so how many days you take them out we go out for three days yeah yeah it doesn't take long man uh for for that for you know for it to click for people

and and it's it's it's individual development and also team development because um out there i will continue to drag your dick through the dirt until you make that mental shift from me, me, me, to what does the team need, right? Team gear before personal gear. Me versus we. Yeah, man. And when you see that happen within a team, it's like there's nothing more rewarding than watching that happen, you know?

Shit, man, I might want to do that. That sounds fucking awesome. You got to sleep outside. That's all right. I ain't no bitch, man. It's cold. I know you think I'm soft, but I ain't that soft. Well, this is a lost art, dude.

We take these people out there, and I mean, not many people have ever drank water right out of a spring. I drink all my water out of a spring, straight out of the mountain. So these things are normal for me, you know, these skills, hard skills. But it's a law start. We teach them how to navigate using a map and compass and all these hard skills, along with the mental and the spiritual experience. They get those hard skills that they can take with them. Because, dude, we're all landowners.

We collectively, we own like hundreds of of thousands if not millions of acres across this nation and we're not using them anymore yeah right because we don't have the skills anymore to go out and actually explore them and find the beauty in them people are actually scared of nature and when you get them out of those four walls and take that cell phone out of their hand, brother, the magic happens. I don't even have to do anything. Fuck dude. I'm doing it. Mine happens when I'm doing it. Let me know when you have those things. Cause I'm, I'm going to do it next year. I'm doing it. Yeah. I got a feeling we could probably fit you in. Yeah. I follow the rules like everybody else, man. I don't look for special shit.

Like, that sounds awesome because I don't know any of that shit. We weren't raised like outdoors dudes. You know what I'm saying? We play sports. It'll change your perspective, and it opens your world up, man, when you realize, man, I can put a bag on my back, and I can take a simple tool like a compass and a map, and I can literally go anywhere.

That's a freeing feeling. You know what I mean? It empowers you. A huge confidence builder, I bet, for people. Oh, 100%, brother. Yeah. We have fun, mainly with 3 of Seven Project in my business and my brother. I mean, my brother's my partner.

And, dude, we just have fun and pour into people. And, you know, we get a little bit of return on it on the money side, which is we got to pay bills. We got to eat. We got to pay for that new Suburban, right? That's right. Heated seats. Yeah, man.

But other than that, man, we have fun, brother. That's awesome. Chad, dude, thank you so much for coming up, man. This has been an awesome conversation. I think people are really going to take a lot from it. I have a feeling it won't be the last. Yeah, I know. And, dude, you're welcome to come back anytime, man.

Well, I do appreciate you guys opening up this platform to me. I don't even know the half of what it took to build this. Oh, it just took, it just took me running my mouth. No, more than that. I mean, this, what you guys have done and what you guys are doing is, uh, is, is literally second to none. Thank you. And I couldn't be, it couldn't be any more of an honor

to just be here amongst you guys. Well, I think that's a mutual feeling. Very much mutual. Yeah. So guys, that's the show. Remember, if you got something from the show, if you learned something, if it inspired you,

if it woke you up a little bit, got you to see things different, tell one person, man. Just tell one person. We're not asking for you to go to do all our work for us. But we ask that you pay the fee, man. So appreciate you guys. Love you guys.

Stay safe. Stay smart. Keep your eyes open. And I'll see you next time.
