00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,800
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sheep Get Sheared Podcast.

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,360
I'm your host Austin Creed, my friends.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,800
I'm on the road right now.

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,520
I'm moving out.

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:15,880
I graduated from college, so now I'm moving out and on to the next chapter in the saga

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,880
that is my life.

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,320
The show is not about my life, but I thought I just wanted to let y'all brothers know

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,720
what's going on and why I'm not posting as often.

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,520
I know the channel is growing a lot and I'm extremely excited about that.

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,320
I'm also very grateful to the men who have been sharing their stories and even some women

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,720
as well have been sharing their stories and their experiences because at the end of the

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,440
day, that is what really makes the difference.

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:52,040
I can only talk from as many perspectives as possible and through giving research.

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,000
And I want to highlight one special comment that kind of stood out to me recently, and

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:04,480
it was a couple of them kind of fell into this category of men talking about their divorces

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,720
and why they got divorced.

17
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:13,880
And it's very interesting in that it all stems back to the women don't respect the

18
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:14,880
men.

19
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:20,560
Now, I'm not going to be, I don't believe it to be the woman's responsibility to submit

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,240
to any man.

21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:28,040
I mean, if we look at things that will clean for a second, a woman is only really supposed

22
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,640
to submit to her husband.

23
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:35,880
The problem is not a lot of men are getting married anymore because the marriage system

24
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,320
is so corrupt.

25
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:40,920
The family court system is the mafia.

26
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,800
For anybody who's watched the Sprantos or they've watched the Godfather, they, you

27
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:52,520
know what I'm talking about with the, they like to take a cut out of it.

28
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,680
They get their fair share.

29
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,800
The government's the same way.

30
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:01,400
The state governments, the federal government, they get their kickback from men who go through

31
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,960
divorces in the child support system, the alimony system.

32
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,080
A lot of men end up being worth more divorce than married.

33
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:16,640
And there's no incentive for the wife to stay with the husband because Uncle Sam has

34
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:22,840
now become father Sam or sugar daddy Sam.

35
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,800
And it's a very unfortunate system that we're living in.

36
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,520
But I want to highlight one particular aspect of this conversation.

37
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,360
And it's the fact that gentlemen, as much as we want to talk about how women need to

38
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,120
take accountability for their behavior and they do make no mistake about it, a lot of

39
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,640
us men need to take accountability as well.

40
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:46,440
A lot of men out here are not, they're not strong men.

41
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:52,120
You know, one of the listeners to the show highlighted to me about when you look at the

42
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,240
title called sheep get sheared, he highlighted that most sheep that we, that we consider

43
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,280
sheep are us, which are female sheep.

44
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:06,840
And so he asked me, he said, is that meant to be kind of a job at men for being weak?

45
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,280
And I said, yes, actually it is.

46
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,920
And it's not to insult you to get you upset.

47
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:17,800
It's to highlight that a lot of men today, they've fallen for the shit test that is

48
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:18,960
feminism.

49
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:26,520
They've fallen for the happy wife, happy life textbook answer of, oh, if I just give my

50
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:33,720
wife or my girlfriend or my mama or whoever what they want, then my life's going to work

51
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,240
out everything's going to be great.

52
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,640
And finally, things don't work that way.

53
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,960
I wish I could play my on hell no sound bite with with that, but I don't have that right

54
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:44,960
now.

55
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,320
I'm just in my car driving through state of Utah right now.

56
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:55,680
But my friends, we need to really say that as women need to take accountability, this

57
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,840
is an unavoidable fact, but we as men, we also need to take our fair share of accountability

58
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:07,640
and realize that number one, a lot of older men have sold out the young men by giving

59
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:13,800
them the wrong textbook, the wrong book of life.

60
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:19,160
They've told men that just give women what they want, just be a nice guy, just do this

61
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,640
thing or that thing, and everything will work out for you.

62
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:30,880
Anytime you ever hear somebody say, just do all you got to do is X or just do Y or everything

63
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,840
will work out if you do Z. Never listen to that.

64
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:36,840
Never listen to that.

65
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:39,920
The truth resists simplicity.

66
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:45,240
And my friends, when we try to simplify life too much, when we try to make things really

67
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:51,960
cookie cutter, we end up making a problem even worse.

68
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,120
Now I make a lot of generalizations on the show.

69
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,880
No question about it.

70
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,120
Thanks for teaching purposes is to get you to think and decide for yourself, whether

71
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:08,520
you agree or disagree so you can build the life that you want, the foundation upon which

72
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,800
your future will be built.

73
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,840
The problem is a lot of us as men, we were given the wrong tools and the wrong work in

74
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:23,520
the wrong job site, with which to build our futures, we were told just do this to get

75
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:31,200
a wife, just do this to get rich, just do this to succeed in life and get what you want.

76
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,800
The problem is we look at education.

77
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,840
Education makes us employees by default.

78
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:41,120
If you look at the structural classroom, it's meant to be a pit boss who's looking at an

79
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:50,200
assembly line that was set up during the rubber baron era, a now by God era in American history.

80
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,760
We look at relationships.

81
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:59,040
A lot of people want to call Ephesians when it talks and Colossians and everything when

82
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,480
it comes to how men should treat women and how women should treat men.

83
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:08,680
While there is truly in that, we need to understand there is a lot of cultural context that is

84
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:16,520
being left out and to leave it out is doing a disservice to men and to women alike.

85
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:22,960
But at the society, we need to understand that if we just quote scripture, we don't

86
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:29,240
provide context, we are contributing to the problem.

87
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,200
My friends, the fact is women are submissive by nature.

88
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,000
The problem is most men are also subservient.

89
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:45,840
Most men do not take a dominant stance, especially in their relationships.

90
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:53,920
They're all too ready to submit to their boss, to submit to their pastor, to submit to anybody

91
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:54,920
instead of themselves.

92
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,280
Now, I'm not saying you need to be defiant.

93
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:00,720
I'm not saying you need to challenge everybody.

94
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,240
You can if you want.

95
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,320
I encourage you to at least question them.

96
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,880
But the problem is a lot of men, they have a hard enough time leading themselves, and

97
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,040
then they wonder why women are not listening to them.

98
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,600
Gentlemen, I know that this is not something that you want to hear, but women are not just

99
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,400
supposed to listen to you because you're a man.

100
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:28,640
The Bible does not say women should just follow men or women should just submit to a man.

101
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,320
It says that they should submit to their husband.

102
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,080
Now, I'm not saying that you should just get married.

103
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,240
If you want to be married, then go get married.

104
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,520
But just understand you are not getting into the marriage that Paul was talking about.

105
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,200
You are not getting into the marriage that's written about in the Old Testament or the

106
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,200
New Testament.

107
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,840
The marriage is very different.

108
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,120
The word might be the same.

109
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:56,720
The translated word from the Greek or the Hebrew might be the same, but the meaning

110
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,440
couldn't be farther from.

111
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:07,120
And the fact of the matter is a lot of men, we are too scared to take a dominant stance

112
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:14,200
in a relationship, whether it's because of the feminist movement, the to me movement.

113
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:19,960
If you get what I'm saying, we don't want to take that strong stance because we think

114
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:20,960
we're going to get penalized.

115
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,240
We think that we're going to get ostracized.

116
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,200
And there is elements of truth to that.

117
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,600
I'm not trying to dismiss that.

118
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:33,440
I know men who have gone through and done everything, quote unquote, right only for

119
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,760
to get thrown back in their faces and used against them.

120
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,040
But at the same time, a lot of us as men have consciences and we don't want to just be a

121
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,240
evil bad guy just to get women.

122
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,000
So then we are stuck in this uneven category.

123
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,000
When in my opinion, it stems down to self leadership.

124
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Do you do?

125
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,640
Do you just say things or do you do what you say you're going to do?

126
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,600
Do you actually tell people, Hey, we're going to go here.

127
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,600
We're going to do that.

128
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,160
And it could be as little as in your relationship.

129
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,800
Do you ask the woman where she wants to go?

130
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,120
Or do you say, Hey, I'm going to Fleming's.

131
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,600
Hey, I'm going to Chick-fil-A. Hey, I'm going here.

132
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,040
You can come with me or you can stay at home.

133
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,400
I don't care.

134
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,400
I'm going here.

135
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,560
You're welcome to come with, but I'm going with or without you.

136
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:27,360
That's leadership.

137
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,160
What's not leadership is asking her where she wants to go.

138
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,880
Most women are not good at making decisions.

139
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,800
And so if you as a man can make decisions, you're already standing out.

140
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:44,760
But I know it's very easy to mistake, for example, my passion or anybody else's passion

141
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,880
for this conversation as being angry.

142
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,720
I understand that.

143
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,120
The problem is I don't see it as anger.

144
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,280
You're not angry.

145
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,280
You're passionate.

146
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,600
And I understand a lot of men have very good reason to be upset with women, especially

147
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,280
women who are perceived to have submitted to them.

148
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,880
But in fact, they didn't.

149
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,440
They were just waiting for opportunity to monkey branch the man they actually wanted.

150
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,800
And we see this play out in society.

151
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,560
We see this play out in divorce court.

152
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:17,720
We see this play out in whether it's married relationships or boyfriend, girlfriend relationships.

153
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,240
We see this played out.

154
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:26,400
The problem is, if you will call it out for what it is, you oftentimes get emotionally

155
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:32,000
manipulated, ostracized, lambasted, and it's unfortunate.

156
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,640
But we also need to as men, we need to avoid the adpopulam fallacy.

157
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,800
You might say, Austin, what is the adpopulam fallacy?

158
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:47,360
The adpopulam fallacy is a philosophical fallacy that states that the volume of belief directly

159
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,520
corresponds to the validity of the truth.

160
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,360
In other words, the truth is contingent upon how many people believe it.

161
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,640
And this is false.

162
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,240
This is untrue.

163
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:08,160
And unfortunately, because we are social creatures, if enough people say, hey, women don't want

164
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:13,600
to submit to you as a man or, hey, gentlemen, women are, you know, women can do everything

165
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,320
a man can do and men can do everything a woman can do.

166
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,320
Little stuff like this.

167
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:23,960
You have enough people to pay it that sentiment, it's all too easy for us to just accept it,

168
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:30,480
or at the very least just say, yeah, whatever, and on just accept that narrative.

169
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,120
And it can all lead a lot of men to just go in your own way.

170
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,520
I go by own way.

171
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,200
Now, you can go your own way too, if that's what you want to do.

172
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,920
But you don't have.

173
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,440
I know a lot of men in my comment sections.

174
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,480
They talk about how they've gone their own way, or maybe they want a wife.

175
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,600
They just don't know how to find one.

176
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,920
They want a Christian relationship, but they don't know where to find this good woman.

177
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:04,800
Well, according to Solomon and Proverbs, finding a virtuous woman is more valuable than rubies.

178
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,760
So it's not going to be free.

179
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,720
It's not going to be easy.

180
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,640
But if you want to do that, it's going to cost you a lot.

181
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,400
And you still might lose.

182
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,800
That's that's the kicker.

183
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,040
You still might lose.

184
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,960
So gentlemen, I appreciate a lot of men coming in the comment section and then sharing their

185
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,320
stories.

186
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,520
Because at the end of the day, a lot of men need to hear this message, especially the

187
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:39,040
younger men of my generation of Gen Z. I know that these ideas are not unique to me or not

188
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,800
unique to this man of fear side of the Internet.

189
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:48,640
This has been around socrates and Plato and Aristotle.

190
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,640
They wrote about these things.

191
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,280
Solomon wrote about these things.

192
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,920
This is nothing new.

193
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,280
The form of it has simply changed.

194
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,280
The laws of change society has changed.

195
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,080
And so we as men, we must adapt to this.

196
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,640
We must adapt or we're going to get what other people are currently getting or have

197
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,920
gotten in the most recent past.

198
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:19,800
So gentlemen, I appreciate you coming along for my little roadside rant here because I

199
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,440
know I don't have my nice camera.

200
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,040
I don't have my nicer microphone.

201
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,640
I'm kind of just on the road right now.

202
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,640
And I figured, hey, you know what?

203
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,160
I'm used to putting out about two episodes a day.

204
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,400
And so when I'm out here and I don't have access to my equipment in the back of my car

205
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:44,120
right now, I said, I can't just be out here and not give commentary because at the end

206
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:49,240
of the day, I love that men and women, even if the people in my comments section who,

207
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,840
you know, say me things that are mean or or whatnot, I laugh at it.

208
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:54,840
Why?

209
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,680
Because it goes back to what Jesus said.

210
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:00,880
Jesus said, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.

211
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,560
Now, I'm not saying I'm Jesus.

212
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:04,240
In fact, I'm the farthest thing from it.

213
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,520
What I am saying is that sentiment rings true.

214
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,480
There are people who don't know what they don't know.

215
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,720
It's not that they are evil or mean or anything like that.

216
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,680
And he usually comes from a place of misunderstanding, misguided, undecided.

217
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,120
They don't know what's going on.

218
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,440
They don't know how to make sense of what's happening around them.

219
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,840
And they don't want to give up their current worldview.

220
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,680
And I don't blame them.

221
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,360
I don't blame them at all.

222
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:38,360
So gentlemen, I understand this show might sound like it's all over the place, but the

223
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:43,560
border message of the story is I'm grateful that men are sharing their stories because

224
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,720
you're not alone.

225
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,600
I can guarantee you if you think you're alone as a married man, a divorced man, a single

226
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,560
man who's not been married, you're not alone.

227
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,800
The biggest demographic of men who are the most silent majority in this country and around

228
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,560
the world are married men.

229
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,600
Those of you who don't follow up with a lot of current events, there was a study that

230
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,520
came out that said that only only fools shout out to Joker from better bachelor.

231
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:20,240
The only fools creators, the OF girls, their biggest subscriber base is married men.

232
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,760
Now, you might think that it's the incels and the guys who have Nick Beards and you

233
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,600
know, the stereotypes that people put out about this space, right?

234
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:35,880
But in fact, no, it's the married men who maybe the sex is falling off in their relationship.

235
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,400
Maybe they're just not aroused by their wife anymore because she's out of shape, or maybe

236
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,920
they just don't see each other because they work really long hours.

237
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,400
It could be anything, but they're not getting the intimacy they want.

238
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:51,400
And maybe they want men are biologically programmed to want younger women.

239
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,880
I'm talking not like illegal activities.

240
00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:03,640
I mean, women who are of age, who are more fertile and more less damaged, more exciting

241
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:11,080
than are the older women who are a little more jaded, a little more misandrist.

242
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:16,920
In my estimation, and the internet reflects this.

243
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,960
This is not an accident.

244
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,640
You ever know, you ever wonder why in the old in the Disney stories and the old fairy

245
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:30,480
tales, the old hag, you might think is like 60 or 70, 80 years old.

246
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:37,600
No, she's more like 40, 35, because without makeup and the miracles of modern science,

247
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,080
women hit the wall a lot earlier without those things.

248
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,960
And so when we look back at the recent, you know, recent past and even the far distant

249
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:52,200
past, older women have been jealous of younger women.

250
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,480
More than older men, I'm in jealous of younger men because older men have tremendous value

251
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,480
out here.

252
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,640
I'm not one of these young guys who pretends like all us young guys have everything, you

253
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,760
know, ahead of us and the old guys or old husbands.

254
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,000
No, the older guys are supposed to be mentors.

255
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,280
Men of my generation are supposed to look to the men of Gen X, the older millennials,

256
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,800
the boomers and look to them for advice and guidance.

257
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:22,600
And unfortunately, a lot of them, especially in the Christian church are hand pegged,

258
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:29,480
incapable of leadership and really just a happy wife, happy life, gumps.

259
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,800
They could be nice dudes, but they're not good leaders.

260
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,760
And so that's why if there's no saying that goes back to the government that says that

261
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,240
the government won't lead the people, the people must lead the leaders.

262
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,120
Well, if people aren't going to lead me, then I'm going to lead me and I'll help other people

263
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:47,120
lead themselves.

264
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:50,640
As as simple as that.

265
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,520
My friends, please let me know if you have enjoyed this roadside rant.

266
00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:01,960
I used to do more than I do now because my life is just getting increasingly busy.

267
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:07,360
But my friends, I encourage you to keep sharing your stories on the show on this channel because

268
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:09,600
at the end of the day, you are not alone.

269
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,520
And I see some of the replies.

270
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,800
I try to look as many come as I can.

271
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,520
A lot of men are getting a lot of good reactions and saying, yeah, I thought I was alone.

272
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,160
I'm not alone.

273
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,160
And I think that that's beautiful.

274
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,280
And I think that's great.

275
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,680
So my friends, please take care of yourselves.

276
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,200
Please feel free to think for yourself and ask questions.

277
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,440
And don't just take what I say face value or anybody else about matter, please.

278
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,840
I encourage you to think for yourself and come up with your own conclusions.

279
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:43,440
That's the only way that you are truly going to understand things emotionally is if you

280
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,800
kind of frame it in a way that's going to work best for you and in a way that you're

281
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,400
going to best interpret it.

282
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,800
My friends, you take care of yourselves.

283
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:51,800
I'll see you next time.

284
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:52,800
I'm out of here.

285
00:18:52,800 --> 00:19:16,520
Bye.
