00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,200
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sheepkitsheared podcast of your host Austin Creed, my friends.

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:12,200
I'm in the middle of my work day, actually, but I really wanted to get this show out today

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,280
because I haven't been able to do as much content for y'all as I normally do.

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,640
And it's honestly been eating away at me a little bit.

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,640
I really enjoy doing it, as I can tell some of you who really love the show love to listen

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,600
to it, which I'm thankful for by the way.

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,800
One thing that I really want to talk about today was I was at my best friend's wedding

8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:33,800
last weekend.

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,440
It was a great ceremony, really well done, but as I was shitting there, me being the

10
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:43,000
cynical guy that I am, I couldn't help but have some thoughts.

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,320
And obviously I'm not going to tell my bro who's getting married, my cynical thoughts.

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,840
Number one, he doesn't want to hear it.

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,520
And number two, he's trying to have a great day considering that I literally saw the legal

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,800
paperwork being done because I was one of the groomsmen.

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,440
I saw the legal paperwork being signed in the back room.

16
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,360
That was an experience because I'd never seen it actually done before where they have two

17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:11,040
witnesses sign the paper, then they sign the paper, then they initial here and they dot

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,600
the T's there and they cross the I's.

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,960
You know, you get what I'm talking about.

20
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:19,000
They dot the I's, cross the T's, put the date on there.

21
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,520
They sign everything and make a look official, all that type of shit.

22
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,000
You know what's crazy to me?

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:31,640
Nobody wants to talk about how the guy is risking everything on that relationship.

24
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,480
You know, I'm sitting there on the table and they're saying their vows, they're saying

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:43,120
like the family members, the maid of honor, the groomsmen, like it's all great.

26
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,800
I'm not talking about people personally.

27
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,720
I'm talking about the institution.

28
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:53,520
I'm talking about how a lot of dudes, they port everything they have into this shit.

29
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,640
They do everything they can to make this day unforgettable.

30
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,160
And then unfortunately, a lot of times, that's exactly what it becomes because then they

31
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,920
may get the divorce and 80% of the time, it's the woman who files a divorce.

32
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:11,560
Before they wouldn't even admit that that was the truth.

33
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,080
Now they'll admit it, but then say that it's not their fault.

34
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,280
You gotta love that part.

35
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,680
But my friends, the reason I bring this up is not because you haven't heard it before

36
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:26,400
because odds are you have, the reason I bring it up is because a lot of people who are skeptical,

37
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,960
maybe a little skeptical like me, but they still want to get married.

38
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,360
They still want to have a committed relationship.

39
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,560
They are not ready to fully walk off the plantation.

40
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:43,240
The political plantations that's set up by the rubber barons of last of yesteryear being

41
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:50,080
continued by the tech pirates of today, nobody wants to completely walk off that plantation.

42
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,360
It's a very, very rare exception.

43
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,680
People don't want to fully walk off the plantation.

44
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:56,680
They'll try to negotiate.

45
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,480
They'll go through all the stages of grief.

46
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,120
They'll say, hey, you know what?

47
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,880
Maybe if I negotiate here, or maybe if I strike a bargain there, or I accept certain things

48
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,400
over here, or I deny this because I don't like how the guy said it, or I don't like

49
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,640
what he said.

50
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:16,640
So therefore I disagree with it.

51
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:23,280
The fact that has no regard on how valid the statement is, they'll ignore it because there

52
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:30,120
are stages of grief when people are exposed to the truth in the same way that I'm going

53
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,800
through the stages of grief because my grandfather just died.

54
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,920
Except I've been through this once or twice.

55
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,600
And so for me, I know where I'm going through the stages of grief.

56
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:47,400
I know how to handle it to an extent because I've dealt with loss my entire life.

57
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,800
So I know how to deal with it a little bit better.

58
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,720
But when it comes to the truth, when it comes to your worldview, people don't want to give

59
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,720
it up.

60
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,240
They don't want to say, you know what?

61
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,200
You know, Austin, I see what you're saying with marriage not really benefiting me as

62
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,880
a man, but you know, if only I do X, Y, or Z, I can make it work.

63
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,360
Or if only I find the right woman, I can make it work.

64
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,480
How will give be these excuses in real life?

65
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,120
Oh yeah, we'll give it to me on the internet.

66
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,000
We'll give them probably to you in your in your life as well.

67
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,720
And my friends, I'm not going to sit here and tell you, oh, just listen to me, everything

68
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,720
will work out.

69
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,200
Hey, if it working out for me, that's far.

70
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,480
Let me tell you.

71
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,240
But number two, I don't expect people to want to walk off the plantation that's been built

72
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,800
for them by the politicians and by the billionaire class.

73
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,200
They want to sit there and they want it.

74
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,360
They want to soak in the lies.

75
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,880
They want to soak in the propaganda that's pushed on them.

76
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,320
And you might ask yourself, why?

77
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,800
Why is it that I guys like me on the side of the internet, we say that guys finish last.

78
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,600
We say that you shouldn't invest in women.

79
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,520
We say you shouldn't be long term relationships.

80
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,480
You don't know why we say these things.

81
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,480
We don't say them because they're easy.

82
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,800
We don't say them because they make us feel good.

83
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:09,560
We say it because it must be done if you want to walk off the plantation.

84
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:15,280
You know, in days gone by, there was actual slavery in this country, in America.

85
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:16,800
There was.

86
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,000
Now there isn't that defining line between who is a slave and who is a free man.

87
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,160
There used to be a very clear distinction on who was a slave and who was a free man.

88
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,760
Now, I am not here to tell you that slavery should come back because it already is here.

89
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,320
Oh yeah, you're not walking around in chains.

90
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,160
You're walking around with debt.

91
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,720
They don't have physical chains on you and you're not calling people a massa.

92
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,520
You have debt over your heads and you're calling people boss.

93
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:50,640
Oh, I'm sorry that I offend you with that direct comparison.

94
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:57,040
I don't give a damn because unless you could sit there and call me a liar, you missed the

95
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,440
point.

96
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:06,080
The point of the matter is it's easy to see things when people put it in frappe perspective.

97
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,680
You might find the style of speech abrasive.

98
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,440
You might find it offensive.

99
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:17,000
You might say, Austin, I cannot stand how you say things because it triggers me.

100
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Good.

101
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,840
Good because guess what?

102
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:22,400
That's how I woke up.

103
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,440
You think I woke up by people sitting me down and saying, now Austin, I'm going to sit here

104
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,960
and I want to tell you about the different unfortunate realities of the world that I'm

105
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,480
going to say to a nice, calm, soothing voice.

106
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,840
It's very likely to put you to sleep.

107
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:40,840
Of course they didn't.

108
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:45,360
A lot of people are not, but they're not put up on game.

109
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,440
What they do is they go through life with the faulty manual given to them by the corporate

110
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:56,920
overlords and then they try it time and time again until they realize, wait a minute, something's

111
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,080
not working and then they're told it's their fault.

112
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,480
You're not doing it right.

113
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,880
You're not hitting it right.

114
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,360
You're not doing it the way it's supposed to be done and they'll buy that initially

115
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,400
because they can't accept the fact that they've been lied to.

116
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,680
They can't accept the fact that they've been deceived.

117
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,600
So instead they'll say, hey, must be me.

118
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,000
I'm the common denominator.

119
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,680
It must be me.

120
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,840
When they're only half right, it's their belief system.

121
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:30,160
If that belief system changed, if it adapted, I think it was Patrick O'Neill.

122
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:36,920
I think that's the guy who said that men are 5,000 years behind peace leave.

123
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,000
Shout out to Coach Greg Adams.

124
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,880
He said that men were 5,000 years behind peace leave.

125
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,680
Let me tell you something.

126
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,360
Men are behind the curve on when it comes to relationship dynamics.

127
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:56,080
Not because we're inherently stupid, but because a lot of men that we want to believe in romance,

128
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,960
that women love us for who we are and not what we provide.

129
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:05,800
We want to believe these things because they make us feel good and make us feel valuable.

130
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,680
Instead of saying, you know what, I could find myself a maid.

131
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,520
I could find myself a cook.

132
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,760
I could find myself a personal assistant.

133
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,000
I could find myself a sugar baby.

134
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,400
I can get all of these things with money to save me time.

135
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:25,720
They'll say, no, I'll get a wife and I'll try to convince her to do all these things,

136
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:33,520
pay her more money to do less and have to nag her, how to convince her, bribe her, give

137
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,760
her an allowance, all these things while paying her car, paying her insurance, paying

138
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,480
her half the mortgage, doing all these things.

139
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,480
Why?

140
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:49,760
Usually in the name of because it's the quote unquote right thing to do.

141
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,760
Tell me I'm lying.

142
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,520
Hey, gentlemen, if you think I'm lying or I'm out of pocket or I'm out of line, go

143
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,880
in the comments, tell me I'm out of line.

144
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:04,880
Tell me that I'm out here lying to you because the unsubscribe button, the block button, the

145
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,200
report button, it's right there.

146
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,520
You think I'm lying to you?

147
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,560
You can go ahead.

148
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:13,080
See, this is the problem.

149
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,000
Too many men, they just don't like the style and how it's said and then they choose to

150
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,200
ignore it instead of saying, you know what, he has validity in what he's saying.

151
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,920
His points make sense.

152
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:29,000
I just might have said it differently, but what he is saying holds weight.

153
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,240
What he's saying is true.

154
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,200
What he's saying rings with me.

155
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,800
It's sticking around in my head and I can't get it out.

156
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,080
I don't want to believe it.

157
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,360
I don't want to think it's true, but it is.

158
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,200
My friends, do you see right there?

159
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,880
That is the sign of personal growth because you're understanding that it just because

160
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:55,600
I don't like something or do like something should have nothing to do with whether you

161
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,240
believe it or don't believe it.

162
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,800
Now I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I am not also someone actively attempting

163
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,320
to overcome this reality.

164
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,680
But what I will tell you is there is a there are levels to this.

165
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:18,120
There are different grades to this because once you start to accept the unfortunate realities

166
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:24,040
of the world you live in, you will start to view the world differently.

167
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:30,200
You will see and operate your life in a different way that is unrecognizable to the average

168
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,840
normie who goes around like an MPC.

169
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,840
Not an AI.

170
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:37,840
AI is too smart for doing that.

171
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:45,240
I thought an NPC like you'd find in a video game like Elden Ring, Skyrim, Batman, you

172
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,240
name it.

173
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,760
That's the kind of stuff we're talking about, these people who they don't think for themselves.

174
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,000
They don't want to have a brain because they're going to have somebody broadcasting their

175
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,120
views and they don't want to think for themselves because that requires work.

176
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,800
That requires saying wait a minute, I could actually be wrong here.

177
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,800
I'm going to have to deal with conflict.

178
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:09,800
Conflict?

179
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,920
Oh hell no.

180
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,680
Guys, this is why I say nice guys finish last.

181
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:22,160
This is why I say that husbands are getting hustled out here and the reason is because

182
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,280
you are not being told there are alternatives.

183
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:32,320
In your father and grandfather's generation, this was commonplace for you to be married,

184
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:39,840
whether you were a stepdad, a biological father, you were expected to be a father, to have a

185
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,360
wife.

186
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,960
You were expected to do these things.

187
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,440
Today you don't have to, you are free.

188
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,560
But people want to go back to those old days.

189
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:55,280
They want to bring the old days back, not having any knowledge of history as to what

190
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:01,640
that entails, what they have to sacrifice, and what comes along in the fine print.

191
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:07,880
They want women to be traditional, not realizing that it's not as glorified, it's not as good

192
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,520
as they think it is number one.

193
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,400
And number two it means that they have to be traditional as well.

194
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,480
You'd be shocked by the level of bullshit I hear on the internet of people saying, oh

195
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,800
yeah you gotta get yourself a ride or die, wanted a billion duck chick, but then you can

196
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:31,000
go cheat on her and have her hose on the side and I'm like, what year is this?

197
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,600
What kind of advice is this?

198
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,680
This is the stupidest shit I've ever heard in my life.

199
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:42,800
So after you find the so called magical unicorn that doesn't even exist, we'll say hypothetically

200
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:50,200
you find it and then you're supposed to cheat on her with other chicks?

201
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,280
Uh, no.

202
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,280
Uh, no.

203
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,280
No, sorry.

204
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,040
No man, that's not traditional, that's not how that works.

205
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:05,240
Look, the reason I'm saying that husbands are being awful is because I wish that marriage

206
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,240
was different.

207
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,400
Now, frankly I do.

208
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,400
But guess what?

209
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,400
It's not.

210
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,400
It's not.

211
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,160
Does that mean it's impossible to have a good marriage?

212
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,720
No, it's not impossible.

213
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,600
But it's not gonna be free, that's for damn sure.

214
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:26,520
And number two, it's going to require everything and you're paying more to get less.

215
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,720
Now if you're already married, make that work because you're already stuck in a, you're

216
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,840
stuck, well stuck sounds bad.

217
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,680
You're in a relationship, making work as much as you can.

218
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:44,200
But if you are not married and you're listening to the show, you do not have to get married.

219
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,920
The days of that are long gone.

220
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:52,520
Like I said, you can get a maid, you can get a cook, you can get a personal assistant, you

221
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:58,240
can get a sugar baby, you can do all these things and they will gladly go over and help

222
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:04,240
you instead of having to deal with attitude, deal with BS, deal with her looking, you know,

223
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,120
not putting as much effort as she might go into girls' nights out.

224
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,600
You don't have to deal with that shit.

225
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,120
You don't have to.

226
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,400
But people will still volunteer for because that's what the normies are doing and they

227
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,360
want to fit in.

228
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,040
Fitting in is stupid.

229
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:27,760
You want to be like Mr. Average Eddie, but then make boo-boo bucks, you want to be like

230
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:28,760
Warren Buffet?

231
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,760
Yeah, sorry man.

232
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,760
No, I ain't going to happen.

233
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:34,760
That's not how it works.

234
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,680
You have to make sacrifices to get where you want to go.

235
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,960
You don't just show up at the finish line.

236
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:47,120
You got to run the race and you got to be willing to make sacrifices.

237
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,600
Hopefully it's coming through okay by the way because I'm on the road and I have no idea

238
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,880
how this sounds as I'm talking.

239
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,200
But my friends, this is a subject matter that a lot of men who have been divorced, they'll

240
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,920
tell you, but the men who are actively in a marriage, whether it's succeeding or failing,

241
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,080
they won't tell you how hard it is.

242
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,200
They won't tell you how difficult it is, how much they've given, and how little they've

243
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,240
gotten in return.

244
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,720
They won't tell you that.

245
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:11,720
Why?

246
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,680
Because it doesn't go with the program.

247
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,640
It doesn't fit with the narrative that people push about marriage, that it's all good and

248
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:24,120
you get this happily ever after more or less like you see at the end of every Disney movie.

249
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,160
And the answer is no, you don't.

250
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,480
But it's still sold that way because people want you to believe in the fantasy and they

251
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:37,440
want to keep this imaginary image of marriage working and it doesn't work.

252
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,640
Not for a lot of people.

253
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,080
The divorce rate has never been higher.

254
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,640
And a lot of people are unhappy with the system.

255
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,120
And a lot of the men, they don't say a damn thing because they don't want to be ostracized.

256
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,840
They don't want to lose their job.

257
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,960
They don't want people to think less of them.

258
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,240
So they won't say it.

259
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,480
So I'll say it for them.

260
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,560
And a lot of other guys on the side of the internet will tell you the same thing.

261
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:07,440
Not because we're bitter or hurt, but because we are not blind.

262
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,120
We see it for what it is.

263
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,000
A fraud.

264
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,280
My friends, let me know how you've been hustling your marriage.

265
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,000
Or maybe you want to flip the script and tell me, oh, it's worked for you and what sacrifices

266
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,200
you've made to make it work.

267
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,560
I'm up with for that conversation, but don't sit up here and tell me that it's all rainbows

268
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,480
and unicorns and pots of gold at the end of it.

269
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,160
Don't tell me that because we all know that's rubbish.

270
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:39,160
You got to be out here and put in a lot of work, a lot of compromise, and even then you're

271
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,040
not guaranteed a return.

272
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,640
We need to tell accurate stories here, not just ones that fit with my narrative, the

273
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,760
narrative, or anyone else's.

274
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:54,560
We need to have a dialogue on this from multiple different viewpoints.

275
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,640
My friends, let me know how marriage has impacted you, whether it was your marriage, your parents'

276
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,920
marriage, your grandparents' marriage, your friends' marriage.

277
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,280
Let me know.

278
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,720
I'd love to hear about it and you might save a guy's life who was thinking about getting

279
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,920
married and he decides, you know what, it's not as good as deal as I was told it was.

280
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,640
I'm going to re-evaluate my options.

281
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,440
I could save his life and you could be a part of that.

282
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,720
My friends, you take care of yourselves.

283
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,360
I'm getting close to my job sites so I got a role.

284
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:28,480
Well, I want to start doing this more frequently every day like I used to because this is important

285
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,080
to me and I know it's important to some of you as well.

286
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,280
You really love the show.

287
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,040
My friends, you take care of yourselves.

288
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,040
I'm out of here.

289
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:46,040
Thanks.
