Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sheep gets your odd guest of your host, Austin Crete.
But for those who apologize upfront, if the audio on this is to absolutely trash, I'll
do my best to make it sound as professional and high quality as possible.
The reason I'm apologizing, which I don't normally do, I hate apologizing, by the way,
I would not recommend that people apologize for really next to anything unless you actually
will not do it again.
But I digress.
I'm on the road at the moment.
That's why you might hear some stuff in the background.
It's me driving down the highway in Idaho right now.
So for those of you who care about the show and have to listen to when I go on my personal
side tracks, I am going to Kansas City to start a new business venture, which is going
into like roofing the roofing industry.
So I'm on my way to Cheyenne, Wyoming right now, which is ironically where I was stationed
when I was in the Air Force about two years ago.
I haven't been there in about two years.
And you know, my friends, anybody ever take a trip down memory lane, you know, to times
gone by to different chapters in your life?
Well, that's what I've been thinking about for the past about hour.
I was kind of taking a trip down memory lane as I'm seeing the open road unfold in front
of me.
And I thought to myself, you know, comfort really kills ambition.
You might say, well, that is popping to your head while you're driving on the road.
Anybody ever been on a road trip?
You'd be shocked by the things you will randomly think about when you're just staring at the
open road and you see RVs and semi trucks and little families from Kansas driving, you
know what their five kids stuffed in their minivan, all kinds of different stuff.
And as I'm going from Idaho to back to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where I was stationed in the military
about two years ago, it's just an interesting trip down memory lane.
Interesting.
It's an interesting cause for reflection.
Have any of you ever decided to risk you haven't you said, you know what, I'm not going to
be comfortable.
I'm going to refuse to take the easy way because the easy way is as the willow pop of least
resistance.
I encourage you, if you're not a risk taker, take some risk, not because you want to be
a gambler, not because you want to pick up a new addiction or sin, but because you want
to succeed.
You know, there are multiple books I like to listen to on the audio book, whether it's
the bullying hills, thinking grow rich or outweighing the devil or rich dad, poor dad,
but I think it's Robert Kiyazaki.
I think that the guy that's the guy's name or the richest man of Babylon.
These types of books have changed my life because a lot of us, we want to be rich men.
We want to be powerful men, not because they want to sell it be waffle, Wall Street, big
meat, Larry over types, but because we want to have things, we want to be able to give
our children, we want to be able to give ourselves and those who care about us and around us.
We want to give them and us a better life.
And the only way, in my opinion, we can do that is by taking risk and not being afraid
to lose.
You know, one of the biblical bachelor lifestyle, which I coined on this show is being willing
to ask uncomfortable questions in pursuit of the truth.
Now I'm aware that a lot of people, they don't believe in objective truth.
They think it's silly.
They think it's a class say, bourgeois, whatever you want to say.
And you know, I can understand that from a certain point of view.
I really can.
I think in a lot of ways, Karl Marx was correct when he said that opiate that, um, religion
was an opium of the masses and you will not hear me agree with Karl Marx on a lot because
his ideals have gotten led to mountains of skulls all around the world.
You look at Vietnam, you look at the Soviet Union, you look at China, you look at Cuba.
I mean, the list could go on and on.
But my friends, the reason I think it's important to not sit back in the comfort of your current,
whether it's your current job, the current place that you live, your current economic
situation, it's important to not fear the unknown.
It is important to not get too comfortable because comfort will kill your desire for
growth or lead you to becoming stagnant.
The same way that we like to encourage men to work out and get in shape.
Why would you not want to get your wallet in shape?
The guys who on the side of the Internet who love to talk about picking up hoes, running
game, mackin girls and all that kind of stuff, rope dating, you name it.
But they will they rather get a woman pregnant than get their wallet pregnant in the same
way that a lot of men would rather be comfortable than brave the waves of chaos to be able to
become more than they currently are.
And I'm just riffing.
Just a philosophical discussion.
I'm, you know, I like to call these open road rants.
The reason I like to call them that is because that's what they are.
You know, normally I have tons of stuff set up with resources and videos and whatnot.
And I'll trust me, they'll come back when I get my computer set up and I get my camera
set up, lighting set up and my internet set up and all that different stuff set up again.
But one of my favorite things about doing this show, my friends, is you look at some
of your favorite YouTubers and they don't really change their setup very much.
They don't really change their hairdo very much.
They don't really change much about themselves, least not like over a couple of years.
Me, I've been changing so much with my location, with my equipment, with my travels, you name
it, I've done all kind of different stuff.
And I'm not saying that to brag as if you don't do that, you're a less of a man or
inferior.
No, I say that because this is a real, I don't make this stuff up.
This is not a grift for me.
The biblical bachelor lifestyle, asking hard questions, avoiding being exploited by the
wolves of Wall Street, the hyenas in government, the coyotes that surround us in the corporate
world.
These are our real fights.
These are all real things that I care about.
And I know that you care about as well.
It's funny.
One of my, one of our recent episodes on avoiding the trap of the equal partnership got more
views than I was expecting on our on the YouTube channel.
And you know, when you start getting the normie bots telling you that marriage is good and
that you're just not hitting it right or you're not doing this right or that right, you know,
you've cracked through a little bit of that.
You've cracked through the algorithm a little bit when you start getting normie comments
out there and instead of the brothers who are out here who are comment on every episode
who know what's going on, they know the show, they know my stance, they know what's going
on.
You know, it's refreshing.
I always find it interesting to encounter the more normie is out there or even the purple
pill guys who they see what's going on or at least a little bit and then they want to
pretend like, Oh, but if only I do this, then everything is going to be cool.
If only I get that, then everything is going to work out.
And I don't believe that gentlemen.
I think that that's a simple view of the world.
And the term simp is employee on the word simple as well as an acronym for someone who
idolizes mediocre piece.
Leave shut out to coach Greg Adams.
I love using his lingo.
It's very catchy.
So I got to give him credit where credit is due, even though I don't agree with everything
coaches ever said.
I don't want to take other people's ideas without credit because that's called plagiarism
and it's no good.
I wouldn't want someone to do that to me.
But my friends, the reason we're doing the show today and the reason I'm still riffing
instead of just listening to music or a podcast or whatever is because gentlemen, I could
I know a lot of you are older than me who listen to the show, which is flattering honestly,
because you know, I think it's really easy for, you know, guys in the generation X rumors
or even older millennials to look at guys like myself or older Gen Z and look at like,
oh, he's 20 something.
He doesn't know anything.
Oh, he's 20 years old.
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
He just a young pop.
He doesn't get it.
He's got a touch.
Choke.
Oh, and I always appreciate the brothers on this channel who let me know their worldview,
who share their thoughts and their life experience as I want to thank Erica lot for responding
and as some offer responding these type of these guys make my day with their comments
and helping expand my worldview.
I hope to expand yours.
It's a given.
It's a give and give reality.
I appreciate that.
So don't know everything.
I take any of the any of the supporters for granted.
I don't just know that despite the fact that we're throttled because on on YouTube and
what not, because we talk a lot of uncomfortable realities, we talk a lot about topics other
people they won't touch, you know, and I don't know what it is, but my sister, before I left,
she was talking about like Christmas and Thanksgiving and stuff like that.
And it got me thinking about the the Grinch and the Grinch.
There's a thing, the song, the Grinch, they talked about how they wouldn't touch you
with a 39 and a half with all.
I think that's like 29 39, whatever, something like that.
And a lot of people treat truth in the same way or the closest you can get to the truth.
Everybody has their own perspective.
I don't I don't think it was Frederick Nietzsche, but it was somebody who said that your perspective
is reality.
And I think that's something I want.
I actively attempt to avoid as I know a lot of you do as well, because if we just sit
back and accept that, oh, well, we know everything and there's nothing left to learn, but that's
dumb.
I don't ever pretend like I know everything.
This is I don't think you would either, because I would be comfortable and that would kill
our growth for progress.
And not the kind of progress you see in the government, the progressive, call me, you
know, disguised individuals talking about actual personal growth that will lead you
in the same way that if I just gave you a million dollars or someone just gave me a
million dollars, it wouldn't be the same as if I slowly worked my way up to earning that
much, because then I'll know what to do with the money.
I'll know how to invest it.
I'll know where to put the money.
Well, how to treat that money so that money treats me right.
I think that's something we'll talk enough about because, you know, a lot of people,
they want to just find a niche to just harp on day and night, whether it's women or money
or religion or politics or whatever.
To me, the biblical bachelor lifestyle is everything.
It's it's as a pillar of each in there.
And all of it involves asking hard questions to always test your worldview so that you're
never just comfortable.
You're never just saying they're thinking you know everything because if you do, you're
about to get a very rude awakening, my friend, because trust me, anytime I've ever thought
about it, I've been humbled within the next two minutes or two days or two weeks by something
I never saw coming completely humbling me.
I know a lot of you can relate to that.
I love to hear your stories about how you've been humbled and how you learn and how you
how you wagered, how you've lost, how you run all this stuff because it's important
for us younger guys and even guys who are older who can relate to it directly or indirectly.
And I want to pivot here for a second into taking care of yourself.
My friends, the older I've gotten, I'm not at all compared to a lot of other guys who
watch this channel and are big contributors to this show.
But the more the older I get, the more disinterested I become in alcohol.
Did anybody relate to that?
I mean, I'm not all I don't consider myself old.
A lot of people consider me still basically a child, which is insulting in some regard.
But also understandable when I see it from their perspective.
But what's interesting is the older I've gotten, the more completely disinterested I've
become in alcohol, like getting drunk.
Who needs it?
Getting high.
Who needs it?
To me, I don't like it.
You know, I'll have a beer every once in a while.
I'll have some wine here and there, but I'm not doing keg stands, a frat party.
I'm not going to the club and doing lines of coca.
I'm not doing any of that stuff because it doesn't appeal to me.
You know what appeals to me?
Writing books during this show you're listening to right now.
That's what makes me feel fulfilled.
That's what makes me feel good.
Because you got to do it makes you feel good to an extent.
She also got to make money.
You also have responsibilities.
We all have these things.
When it all comes back to if you feel comfortable, then you need to test yourself.
You need to get out of comfort zone and you need to do something that's going to challenge
what you're currently doing.
That's a piece of drastic.
You know, I have to jump out of the boat, pick up skydiving or, you know, do something
crazy.
It'd be little things here and there pushing yourself to find new limits and test your
limits to see if they're actually your limits.
This is what I bring up to y'all brothers today because as I'm on the open road, the
uncertainty unbefor me, a new place, new people, new job, new politics, new place to live,
new women, new everything that's around the horizon for me.
I wanted to share this with you guys.
I know a lot of you are older, like I said before, and I know a lot of you've been through
different stages of life.
And so hearing me go through mine, I don't know, maybe it's a little bit of voyeurism
for all I know.
I don't know.
I don't know why you love the show.
If you want to tell me why you love the show, you know, make my day or, or, um, maybe question
my own existence, go ahead and make my day.
I'd love to hear it.
But to me, my friends, this is why I do the show because at the end of the day, you could
find people who are better talking about money than me.
They were talking about women than me.
I mean, not a lot because I talk about it in very raw realities that a lot of you relate
to and you told me as much.
And my friends, I really want you to sell enough on how your life, how your life's changed,
how you thought you were going to do X, but then you ended up doing Y. If that's, we're
going to move, live in a place and you ended up living in B or you thought you were never
going to get married and you got married.
You thought you were, you know, you'd always get married and then you never did.
I explained to the guys in this, on this channel how your life is never really pulled it up,
never unfolded exactly how you thought or it's been a roller coaster because a lot of
younger guys, they want the money now.
They want to have everything right now because it's testosterone surging.
Now, the women are getting with the older men.
The money's out there in front of them and they see other guys making it and they want
it.
But it's all about chasing film, not excitement.
Number one, educating yourself on money and how to treat money.
Somebody treats you right.
Money karma.
And these things are all part and parcel of maturity and becoming a more complete man.
But you know, it's one thing coming from me as a guy who's younger.
It's another coming from guys who are older who have been through it or on the other side.
So I'd love to hear what you have to say.
If you have any advice for me, I would love to hear it or any advice for guys my age or
you want to tell your story.
I'd love to read your comment.
I heard a lot of comments because I love to read them.
I love to interact with them.
So my friends, please let me know what you say.
Please let me please respond and let me know what you have to say about all this.
Very important to me.
The meantime, I might do more of these.
I might not.
I have a lot of open room in front of me.
It's only just begun.
I'll let you guys know how things go and might even do a show from Cheyenne.
I might even film some of it so I could put it up for later.
Talking about my military experience and the area that I was in and all that kind of stuff.
But anyways, my friends, I gotta go.
I'm getting some traffic.
I should probably be paying more attention to the road.
Guys, take care of yourselves.
Sound off.
I would love to hear what you have to say.
In the meantime, take care of yourselves.
Be the best Biblical bachelor you could be if you want.
If you want to subscribe to that, you want to better yourself and try a different lifestyle.
You are more than welcome to be here.
More than welcome, it's to sound off.
I'm here for you.
I know a lot of other men in the community are also here for you.
And it's only just the beginning.
My friends, take care.
I'm out of here.
Peace.
