WEBVTT

00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:02.759
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sheep get

00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:06.379
sheared podcast. I'm your host Austin Creed and

00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:09.259
we're in today we're gonna be talking about both

00:00:09.259 --> 00:00:13.320
the news of the day as well as the just We're

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:18.440
gonna really break down why it is So many men

00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.620
fail to launch in today's day and age, you know

00:00:21.620 --> 00:00:23.940
before I really get into the nitty -gritty details

00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:28.760
I Got something I want to say Am I the only person

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.929
who when I go to the gym? I'm at the gym, right?

00:00:32.310 --> 00:00:34.189
I'm trying to do some pull downs. I'm trying

00:00:34.189 --> 00:00:38.030
to do my back of my biceps and is am I the only

00:00:38.030 --> 00:00:42.189
one who walks in the gym and Every single time

00:00:42.189 --> 00:00:45.689
without fail. I don't know if it's just me I

00:00:45.689 --> 00:00:47.990
don't know if it's just the area I'm living in

00:00:47.990 --> 00:00:50.289
currently, but for some reason, every time I

00:00:50.289 --> 00:00:52.810
walk in the gym, every time I sit down, I set

00:00:52.810 --> 00:00:55.829
my water down, I have my headphones in, and I'm

00:00:55.829 --> 00:00:57.570
listening to my music, or I'm listening to the

00:00:57.570 --> 00:00:59.969
talk radio, or whatever I'm listening to, and

00:00:59.969 --> 00:01:02.850
then for some reason, every time, not only are

00:01:02.850 --> 00:01:05.790
the girls just like OnlyFans chicks without fail,

00:01:06.310 --> 00:01:11.390
90 % at least, they manage to set up a freaking

00:01:11.390 --> 00:01:16.099
tripod, Every time right in front of me. I'll

00:01:16.099 --> 00:01:19.219
be working out There'll be the giant wall mirror

00:01:19.219 --> 00:01:22.420
and then they set up their goddamn camera right

00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:24.480
there Well, I'm trying to work and I was there

00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.500
first by the way They had the nervous at the

00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:29.060
camera up and then just look at you like you're

00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:30.959
in their way when it's like bitch I was here

00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:37.040
first This isn't your gym This is a Kim Kardashian's

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.599
house Who the hell do you think you are coming

00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.099
in here and trying to tell me? Oh, you have how

00:01:44.099 --> 00:01:46.219
dare you don't be a creep, even though I sat

00:01:46.219 --> 00:01:49.480
with my goddamn booty shorts in your face. I

00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.579
don't fall for it, by the way. Oh, no. I'm not

00:01:51.579 --> 00:01:55.040
going to catch a boy out here staring. Absolutely

00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.659
not. I have to play the huh? I can't look in

00:01:57.659 --> 00:01:59.680
front of me like a normal person. And so I got

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.400
to play Where's Waldo with stains on the wall

00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.060
or with on the on the weights or whatever. I

00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:07.420
play Where's Waldo with random crap instead of

00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:08.539
being able to look right in front of me like

00:02:08.539 --> 00:02:11.419
a normal person. But now that I've got that out

00:02:11.419 --> 00:02:14.990
of my system, I'm starting to realize why so

00:02:14.990 --> 00:02:17.710
many men fail to launch in today's society. You

00:02:17.710 --> 00:02:20.689
know, it's really easy to just say, oh, the boomers

00:02:20.689 --> 00:02:23.009
had it easy. They could work a menial job out

00:02:23.009 --> 00:02:25.909
of high school and live on the wage. That's really

00:02:25.909 --> 00:02:29.150
easy to say. It's really, really easy to just

00:02:29.150 --> 00:02:32.110
skate to castigate the conversation and pigeonhole

00:02:32.110 --> 00:02:34.610
it. But I don't want to do that because that's

00:02:34.610 --> 00:02:37.550
too easy. Instead, I want to more talk about

00:02:37.550 --> 00:02:42.389
how, in my opinion, a lot of people are very

00:02:42.389 --> 00:02:46.289
selfish and by people I mean parents a lot of

00:02:46.289 --> 00:02:49.150
times there are guys like myself and I'm not

00:02:49.150 --> 00:02:50.889
talking about my parents my parents are great

00:02:50.889 --> 00:02:52.789
they're actually one of the few who actually

00:02:52.789 --> 00:02:55.169
do what I'm describing and it was highlighted

00:02:55.169 --> 00:02:57.210
I thought it was normal what is very highlighted

00:02:57.210 --> 00:03:00.449
to me that people don't do this they don't set

00:03:00.449 --> 00:03:03.030
their kids up for success instead they want to

00:03:03.030 --> 00:03:05.330
sit there and be like why are you not a success

00:03:06.430 --> 00:03:08.849
They want to be like a stereotypical doctor or

00:03:08.849 --> 00:03:10.770
lawyer or whatever. That's like talk to me when

00:03:10.770 --> 00:03:13.289
you doctor You know saying they wanted to pull

00:03:13.289 --> 00:03:16.169
that garbage out on you when you have no way

00:03:16.169 --> 00:03:18.250
to get ahead Especially in today's day and age

00:03:18.250 --> 00:03:23.009
when immigrant h1b to h1 is it it's h1b visas

00:03:23.009 --> 00:03:26.710
are being issued out the wazoo Thank you. What's

00:03:26.710 --> 00:03:28.669
the guy's name again? I'm blinking on his name

00:03:28.669 --> 00:03:32.189
Vivid Rama Swami. Thanks, bro You backstabbing

00:03:32.189 --> 00:03:33.710
piece of garbage. I don't understand how you

00:03:33.710 --> 00:03:36.629
can support this But shout out to Trump for getting

00:03:36.629 --> 00:03:38.509
rid of all the illegal aliens, or at least he's

00:03:38.509 --> 00:03:42.270
working on it. I think it's great. And people

00:03:42.270 --> 00:03:44.310
want to sit there and say, oh, but Austin, if

00:03:44.310 --> 00:03:48.110
they don't have people to work the fields, how

00:03:48.110 --> 00:03:52.229
are we going to have an economy? Hmm. You know,

00:03:52.229 --> 00:03:55.509
I seem to recall an exact equivalent argument

00:03:55.509 --> 00:03:59.389
about 150 years ago by guys in the South who

00:03:59.389 --> 00:04:00.949
owned plantations. You might have heard of them

00:04:00.949 --> 00:04:04.650
before. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. What's this woman's

00:04:04.650 --> 00:04:08.830
name? Crockett. Crockett Rep. Jasmine Crockett,

00:04:08.949 --> 00:04:13.229
I think is her name. This witch. I don't know

00:04:13.229 --> 00:04:15.789
how she got where she is, unless she's a Democrat

00:04:15.789 --> 00:04:18.790
hack. In my estimation, she was put in office

00:04:18.790 --> 00:04:23.170
by the Democrat machine to try to get back the

00:04:23.170 --> 00:04:25.769
black man vote who voted for Trump. Oh, yeah,

00:04:25.810 --> 00:04:29.110
I guarantee you she was put there to get back

00:04:29.110 --> 00:04:31.189
the black man vote who voted for Trump because

00:04:31.189 --> 00:04:33.660
black women voted for Kamala. overwhelmingly,

00:04:34.100 --> 00:04:36.060
but black men voted for Trump. I don't know if

00:04:36.060 --> 00:04:39.000
you know that. I guarantee you this woman's put

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:43.199
there as a wannabe mammy to try to get the black

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.519
men to vote Democrat again. I can guarantee it.

00:04:45.699 --> 00:04:47.800
But this woman has the nerve to get up and talk

00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.519
about all kinds of random garbage, especially

00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.560
relating to Trump, as if any of us want to listen

00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.139
to what she has to say. And then she has the

00:04:56.139 --> 00:04:59.259
nerve to say that we need the immigrants here.

00:04:59.389 --> 00:05:01.589
because they're going to do jobs Americans won't

00:05:01.589 --> 00:05:04.889
do as in picking like strawberries in the fields

00:05:04.889 --> 00:05:09.230
in California and et cetera. And it's so baffling

00:05:09.230 --> 00:05:12.410
to me, my friends, because this is the type of

00:05:12.410 --> 00:05:16.069
rhetoric that is why so many in my generation,

00:05:16.310 --> 00:05:18.769
including myself at times, have a really hard

00:05:18.769 --> 00:05:22.189
time getting ahead in this country. The problem

00:05:22.189 --> 00:05:25.490
is because we don't have a lot of very good entry

00:05:25.490 --> 00:05:27.689
level jobs and a lot of people, they don't want

00:05:27.689 --> 00:05:31.220
to work in high school. When there's a good episode

00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:33.480
of South Park that talked about this like 15

00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.720
years ago It goes to show you how far Trey and

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:40.100
whatever his name is are ahead of the curve But

00:05:40.100 --> 00:05:42.079
so many people been talking about illegal immigration

00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.699
since the 90s, but and so I'm not trying to jack

00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:47.300
them of their ideas But the problem is so many

00:05:47.300 --> 00:05:49.879
of us we don't have the ability to get these

00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.360
entry -level jobs And I'm not blaming the immigrants

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.560
for taking them. By the way, you don't mistake

00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.069
me for two seconds They come over here overwhelmingly

00:05:59.069 --> 00:06:03.209
and they try to... Again, there are a lot who

00:06:03.209 --> 00:06:06.129
get out welfare. Do not sit here and tell me

00:06:06.129 --> 00:06:08.689
otherwise, but a lot of them do work really hard

00:06:08.689 --> 00:06:11.529
and I see them working really hard. But the problem

00:06:11.529 --> 00:06:14.550
is they will accept lower wages and so a lot

00:06:14.550 --> 00:06:18.110
of times us, us meaning the American taxpayers

00:06:18.110 --> 00:06:21.790
and our kids, we are the ones who get shortchanged

00:06:21.790 --> 00:06:25.009
in the long run and too many of us... Don't we

00:06:25.009 --> 00:06:27.310
wonder why we can't get good paying jobs. We

00:06:27.310 --> 00:06:29.250
wonder why so many jobs are getting exported

00:06:29.250 --> 00:06:35.050
to China Mexico and the Caribbean India Etc we

00:06:35.050 --> 00:06:37.110
wonder why it's happening. The answer is because

00:06:37.110 --> 00:06:42.470
of a unfettered greed and to because the wages

00:06:42.470 --> 00:06:46.930
have just decreased over time and This is part

00:06:46.930 --> 00:06:48.709
of the failure to launch problem. And that's

00:06:48.709 --> 00:06:50.990
why I think it's very important for a lot of

00:06:50.990 --> 00:06:54.439
parents to understand that their world when they

00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.779
were youth is not the same world of today when

00:06:57.779 --> 00:07:02.279
you're 18 to 25, 18 to 30. It's super hard out

00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.300
here to make a living, by the way. Unless you're

00:07:04.300 --> 00:07:06.800
trying to just scrape by, it's very hard to make

00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.699
a living. It's very hard to get ahead of the

00:07:09.699 --> 00:07:14.279
pack without taking tremendous levels of risk.

00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.550
And so my friends, Of course, there's some jackass

00:07:18.550 --> 00:07:22.009
with a bike next to me. Oh god. I don't understand

00:07:22.009 --> 00:07:25.490
people like this why do you have to be a gigantic

00:07:25.490 --> 00:07:30.269
asshole and Just mod the hell out of your bike

00:07:30.269 --> 00:07:32.310
and be as loud as possible I swear a lot of these

00:07:32.310 --> 00:07:35.470
bikes are designed to be as loud as humanly possible

00:07:35.470 --> 00:07:37.410
They want everybody within a quarter mile radius

00:07:37.410 --> 00:07:40.350
to hear them thinking they're all cool when everybody

00:07:40.350 --> 00:07:41.850
just thinks you're being an annoying asshole

00:07:41.850 --> 00:07:45.339
as far as I'm concerned But my friends, part

00:07:45.339 --> 00:07:47.920
of the show relating to people's politics and

00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.220
popular culture is understanding the world around

00:07:50.220 --> 00:07:52.720
us. And it's very easy to get on a podcast like

00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.139
mine and just talk about politics day and night.

00:07:55.300 --> 00:07:57.459
Just talk about men's issues day and night. But

00:07:57.459 --> 00:07:59.579
the problem is I don't want to do that. Instead,

00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.759
I really want this to be more about what talk

00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:04.860
radio is supposed to be about that. I hear big

00:08:04.860 --> 00:08:08.180
names like Hannity, guys like Mark Levin and

00:08:08.180 --> 00:08:11.439
these other. Barton, Dan Bongino, guys like this

00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.160
who data all they do is talk about Trump did

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.120
this. The Democrats didn't do that and whatnot,

00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.480
which is all well and good, but it's not the

00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.220
holistic show that we're supposed to have. It

00:08:23.220 --> 00:08:26.579
is life has more than just what Donald Trump

00:08:26.579 --> 00:08:29.519
ate for breakfast today or what some know nothing

00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:33.620
moron said about Trump to the New York Times.

00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.139
There's more to life than that. The problem is

00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:40.539
so many of us we lose sight of that we lose sight

00:08:40.539 --> 00:08:46.759
of the fact that we need more Life skills and

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.980
we need more understanding that life is complex

00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:53.159
and that there's no simple solution to them for

00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:55.759
the modern man The problem is, so many of us,

00:08:55.940 --> 00:08:58.600
we think we're not normal with how dreary life

00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.460
can be, how upsetting our life is, how we're

00:09:01.460 --> 00:09:03.259
not happy where we're at in our life or what

00:09:03.259 --> 00:09:05.139
we've achieved so far, whether you're a younger

00:09:05.139 --> 00:09:07.360
guy or you're an older guy. You always think

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.500
you can do more. You should have done more. Or

00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:11.779
maybe that's just me. I could be projecting and

00:09:11.779 --> 00:09:14.340
you are totally in disagreement with me, but

00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:17.360
I can sense it. You're not. Oh, no, you agree

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.649
with me way more than you expect it to. You say

00:09:20.649 --> 00:09:22.490
to yourself, I know I like that guy Austin But

00:09:22.490 --> 00:09:24.549
sometimes I don't agree with the politics or

00:09:24.549 --> 00:09:26.250
maybe I don't agree with what he says about certain

00:09:26.250 --> 00:09:28.350
things But overall there's something about him

00:09:28.350 --> 00:09:30.490
that I just can't really get on or maybe it's

00:09:30.490 --> 00:09:33.110
the first time you've ever listened to the show

00:09:33.110 --> 00:09:34.750
Maybe this is the first time you listen Maybe

00:09:34.750 --> 00:09:37.309
you found me off of some incendiary things I

00:09:37.309 --> 00:09:39.429
said on X and maybe you're listening to the show

00:09:39.429 --> 00:09:41.090
for the first time or maybe you've been here

00:09:41.090 --> 00:09:42.950
since the beginning I know who you are. I know

00:09:42.950 --> 00:09:44.269
the ones that have been here since the beginning.

00:09:44.470 --> 00:09:48.419
The problem is so many of us We let the little

00:09:48.419 --> 00:09:50.700
things distract us instead of really focusing

00:09:50.700 --> 00:09:53.600
on what we want to do with our lives and Make

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.139
no mistake money's not a small thing, but so

00:09:56.139 --> 00:10:00.840
many of us We have this attitude of lack instead

00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.200
of this idea that we can do whatever we want

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.519
It just won't be easy and we have to pay the

00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.440
price So many of us we don't want to pay the

00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.259
price because paying the price means going without

00:10:10.259 --> 00:10:12.600
something that we want It means doing something

00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.940
we don't necessarily want to do. I'll tell you

00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:17.500
guys a story I'm right now going through a really

00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:19.440
tough phase in my life. I'm not going to bore

00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.240
you like I'm here. I'm not going to treat you

00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.879
like I if you're my psychiatrist. But so many

00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:27.600
of the times in recent the recent week, I've

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:29.980
really questioned whether I want to do the job

00:10:29.980 --> 00:10:31.700
I'm doing. Maybe I should be doing something

00:10:31.700 --> 00:10:34.460
else. Maybe I should just throw myself into podcasting

00:10:34.460 --> 00:10:35.840
full time or maybe I shouldn't be doing this

00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.000
at all. Maybe all of you are just not interested

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.700
in what this show has to offer. Maybe I'm just

00:10:40.700 --> 00:10:44.240
one guy with a microphone and a string talking

00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.659
to myself. You know, that's one thing that's

00:10:46.659 --> 00:10:49.120
very different about whether it's talk radio

00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.759
podcasting solo or like stand -up comedy You

00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.179
can kind of read the audience a little bit, but

00:10:55.179 --> 00:10:57.960
so many times I find myself I know I'm not alone

00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.179
with this broadcasters won't tell you this because

00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:02.039
they want to seem like oh They know everything

00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.100
they're doing all the time, but it's total total

00:11:04.100 --> 00:11:08.100
farce a Lot of times we wonder if people actually

00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:10.659
are listening to us if they care about what we

00:11:10.659 --> 00:11:12.519
have to say or if we're just Talking to ourselves

00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:17.399
in a room or in a truck or in a car And my friends,

00:11:18.059 --> 00:11:20.559
life is not easy. I don't care what stage of

00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.059
life you're in. I don't care what you've accomplished.

00:11:23.179 --> 00:11:25.519
I don't care about any of that. There's no simple

00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:29.240
solution to most problems in life. Or maybe the

00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.200
solution is simple and you just don't want to

00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.580
do it because you don't like the situation that

00:11:34.580 --> 00:11:36.059
you're in. That's a whole nother conversation

00:11:36.059 --> 00:11:39.559
entirely is knowing what you need to do, but

00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.919
not wanting to do it. That's a whole nother discussion.

00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:49.659
My friends, the failure to launch epidemic in

00:11:49.659 --> 00:11:51.899
this country and across the entire Western world

00:11:51.899 --> 00:11:55.480
is largely because the politicians in my estimation

00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.259
are buying votes. And the only guy that I know

00:11:58.259 --> 00:12:00.659
right now who, and he's not, he's not perfect,

00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.500
but the only guy that I know right now that's

00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:04.419
really trying to fix that problem is Donald Trump.

00:12:04.779 --> 00:12:06.820
I'm not one of those guys that kisses Trump's

00:12:06.820 --> 00:12:10.620
behind. I don't know him. He doesn't know me.

00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:15.000
What I do know is he's not. gaining any friends

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.460
in Hollywood. He's not getting any friends on

00:12:17.460 --> 00:12:19.639
Wall Street. He's not getting any friends in

00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.159
the billionaire business club by doing what he's

00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.120
doing, unless you're Elon Musk. Everybody else

00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:29.120
is trying to take him down. And when somebody

00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.220
is getting attacked like that for voicing their

00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:34.759
opinions and doing what they know needs to be

00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:38.779
done, it's like. You ever seen those in a scene

00:12:38.779 --> 00:12:41.659
in a movie where they're like the bones out of

00:12:41.659 --> 00:12:43.740
place and then you snap? stuff back in, whether

00:12:43.740 --> 00:12:47.379
it's a medical show or a war movie or whatever,

00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:49.200
and they had to like snap the bone back in the

00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:50.980
place and it hurts really bad for a little bit,

00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:53.740
but then it feels fine. That's what's happening

00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:58.720
in America right now. They're trying to fix decades

00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:02.740
of bad choices, decades of bad deals and decades

00:13:02.740 --> 00:13:06.419
of debt, garbage, anti -Americanism, and they're

00:13:06.419 --> 00:13:09.600
trying to put it into a new day and age in this

00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.480
country. And I'm not excusing behavior, I'm not

00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:17.100
excusing the means to get the ends don't always

00:13:17.100 --> 00:13:21.679
justify the means. OK. The problem is we don't

00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:25.120
always have that conversation. My friends, I

00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:27.299
want you to understand that the failure to launch

00:13:27.299 --> 00:13:30.360
in the political climate and the people with

00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.879
loud audiences and the popular culture, they're

00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:38.159
all wrapped into one giant burrito. We need to

00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.659
focus on ourselves. We need to focus on what

00:13:41.659 --> 00:13:44.419
we can achieve and what we want to do I'm in

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:46.360
that boat right now where I'm not sure what I

00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.600
want to do I'm working still I'm still grinding

00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:53.919
but I find myself questioning my destiny questioning

00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:56.639
the direction of my life and if you are also

00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.100
experiencing these these questions these doubts

00:14:01.100 --> 00:14:04.820
as part of your journey don't feel like you're

00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:07.590
alone because you are not in fact You're in very

00:14:07.590 --> 00:14:09.669
good company, but people don't want to advertise

00:14:09.669 --> 00:14:13.070
it. People won't be vulnerable like this. I watch

00:14:13.070 --> 00:14:14.809
people, or at least I used to do it more often

00:14:14.809 --> 00:14:16.970
than I do now. I don't always have the time anymore.

00:14:17.429 --> 00:14:19.669
What I used to do is watch guys on YouTube talking

00:14:19.669 --> 00:14:22.950
about you need to do this and you do that. Don't

00:14:22.950 --> 00:14:25.350
be weak, blah, blah, blah. And you know what?

00:14:25.409 --> 00:14:27.490
There's a time and a place for that. But there's

00:14:27.490 --> 00:14:29.809
also a common place to be vulnerable as a man

00:14:29.809 --> 00:14:32.570
and say, you know what? As much as I would love

00:14:32.570 --> 00:14:34.549
to sit here and tell you that I got all these

00:14:34.549 --> 00:14:38.070
hoes, I got all this money, I got all this opportunity,

00:14:38.590 --> 00:14:43.070
it's not always true. In fact, I'd argue it's

00:14:43.070 --> 00:14:46.250
largely never that way. But people try to build

00:14:46.250 --> 00:14:48.610
their brands off of deception because as Sun

00:14:48.610 --> 00:14:52.009
Tzu wrote in The Art of War, all warfare is based

00:14:52.009 --> 00:14:56.090
on deception and love is war. Business is war.

00:14:56.169 --> 00:14:59.029
Life in and of itself is a war in case you didn't

00:14:59.029 --> 00:15:02.879
know it. We're all competing for resources. We're

00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:05.539
all competing for clout We're all competing for

00:15:05.539 --> 00:15:08.000
everything that we eat every everywhere that

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:11.399
we go everything that we possess We have to constantly

00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:14.740
fight to gain more and to maintain what we have

00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:18.080
And if you don't agree, I'm sorry. I don't know

00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.000
what to tell you, but that might sound cruel

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.759
It might sound terrible, but it is a fact of

00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:25.340
life my friend If you don't like it, well, then

00:15:25.340 --> 00:15:26.639
you're gonna have to get out of the way Well

00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:29.240
those of us who want to achieve those ones who

00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:32.220
want to be more And are sacrificing you're gonna

00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:33.500
have to get out of the way because we're coming

00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:37.360
for it My friends the failure to launch is incredibly

00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:40.460
dynamic, but I think overwhelmingly we overlook

00:15:40.460 --> 00:15:43.940
the fact that a lot of people Don't want to suffer.

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.940
They want to have everything for nothing. They

00:15:45.940 --> 00:15:47.740
don't want to make hard choices I talked a whole

00:15:47.740 --> 00:15:49.659
did a whole show about hard choices with my girlfriend

00:15:49.659 --> 00:15:52.659
and As much as I love to sit here and say that

00:15:52.659 --> 00:15:56.539
she's perfect, she is not. Trust me, I wrote

00:15:56.539 --> 00:15:59.159
a whole book before I met her about being single,

00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:04.759
so trust me when I tell you I'm not a simp. I'm

00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:06.559
not someone who just gives everything for nothing,

00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:12.139
I hold a very tight leash. You have to really

00:16:12.139 --> 00:16:14.279
think for yourself in every facet of your life.

00:16:14.909 --> 00:16:17.049
because people will try to sway you any which

00:16:17.049 --> 00:16:19.470
way that they possibly can and a lot of times

00:16:19.470 --> 00:16:21.070
you're not going to know what to do or where

00:16:21.070 --> 00:16:24.309
to turn and the only way you really need to turn

00:16:24.309 --> 00:16:27.509
is inward and once you have a good understanding

00:16:27.509 --> 00:16:29.509
then you can turn outward otherwise you're wasting

00:16:29.509 --> 00:16:32.350
your time as far as I'm concerned my friends

00:16:32.350 --> 00:16:35.450
take care of yourselves I'll be out of here I

00:16:35.450 --> 00:16:37.889
gotta get back to work I'm out peace
