My friends welcome to the sheep get shared podcast.
I'm your host Austin creating my friends today
We you know yesterday we talked a little bit
about Politics talked about Israel and Ukraine,
you know You will not hear Israel or Ukraine
Outside of what you just heard on the show today.
I'm over. I can't open my news app. I can't go
on social media without seeing it being shoved
down my throat every two minutes. I'm not doing
it. So instead, instead of focusing on that today,
which I refuse to do, we're instead going to
talk about the struggles of man yet again. You
know, the three pinnacles of this show is people,
politics, and popular culture. The three main
P's on the show. I think we need to refer back
to the people again. We talked a little bit about
popular culture and about politics. Let's get
back to the everyday struggles of the people.
I think that's incredibly important. When it
comes to men, you know, I had a very interesting
conversation with my girlfriend. Apparently my
girlfriend actually likes listening to the show
when she's cleaning our house, which I find very...
I find that very ironic. Am I weird in that?
Am I weird to think that that's weird that my
girlfriend likes listening to me talk? to the
boys while we're uh talking about very complex
topics is that weird any other women who listen
to the show do you do you listen to me talk while
you're cleaning your house let me know let me
know in the comments on youtube or go on x i
cheap get cheered and followed it follow me follow
the show but i mean let me know i could be could
be more normal than i originally thought but
going back to i was talking to my girlfriend
about this earlier today actually And we were
talking about the struggles that men have and
women have in life in general. And I thought
it was incredibly interesting to talk about how
it's easy, especially on the more red pill content,
it's easy to get sucked into women have real
easy. And it's really easy to get sucked into
if you're a woman and you're a feminist, then
men have it. Oh, the world was made for men.
Men have it so easy. And I stopped and I said,
wait a minute, hold on a second, Austin, hold
on a second. Everybody has their own unique struggles.
I don't care if you're a man, woman, dog. Everybody
has their problems. I don't care if you identify
as a cat and you live your life with a litter
box. Everybody has their own struggles. And in
a weird way, we try to make our lives better
by pointing out how we don't have a certain struggle
that other people have. I find it merely odd,
frankly, but You know when it comes back to the
struggles of men I think one of the biggest struggles
that I think was not Reiterated to me enough
when I was when I was younger in my mid 20s now,
but when I was younger I didn't realize how Unbelievably
difficult it is to try to develop a life outside
of the matrix I think Andrew Tate was really
the one who popularized and I'm sure there are
people before him. I don't doubt that But to
my knowledge he was the one that really popularized
this notion of The Matrix applying outside of
the movie The Matrix itself back in the late
90s Them or that was the early 2000s. Oh god,
I don't remember but anyways the I notion of
the matrix that we live in this program society,
you know, I I Didn't really get turned on to
it Until I started going more entrepreneurial
with my endeavors to make money. When I started
to go outside the normal trading time for money
aspect of I'm making a living, I realized how
true it actually was. And so if you're I don't
care if you're a man or a woman listening to
the show, I really think it's important for us
to highlight the struggles of entrepreneurs is
the struggle of not having a nine to five. Now,
if you have a nine to five job, you could still
have a side hustle. And I know people who have
done that. They start their own business on the
side with their wife or by themselves and they
start to build something using the matrix money
to mold that money into a new venture to where
they can now become the boss. Instead of having
to pay homage to their boss for the rest of their
life They're using that as a means to an end
to build something for themselves and their children
in the future I actually respect that quite a
lot But I think one of the main struggles and
I can't talk from the female perspective. I won't
do it I'm not gonna feign feign sympathy for
women. I'm not gonna feign sympathy for men I'm
only gonna speak on notions I know and lives
I have lived That's all I can do. I will not
pretend to know what it's like to be a woman.
I know I'm not So what we're gonna do is we're
gonna talk about the struggles of Men because
I am a man in case you can't tell by the deep
notion of my voice I know there are some transgender
people who have deep voices. I am NOT one of
them. I Think it's important for us to realize
that as men we have to decide who we want to
be You as women, you got to decide who you want
to be. But as men, we have to decide who we want
to be. We have to decide, what do we live our
life for? What gets you out of bed in the morning,
as cliche as that was? I remember when I joined
the military. When I joined the military, I was
in the Air Force for about two years. When I
joined the military and I went through every
day of basic training, every night when I looked
up, there was a small little barred window. in
my building and I look out of my cot with 20
other dudes going down both hallways with our
lockers. Every night when I hit the pillow, I
look up at the ceiling and I would think to myself,
why am I here? Why? Why did I choose to do this?
I don't like it. I don't feel good. Why did I
choose to do this? Why did I not just go work
at Burger King? Why didn't I just... I don't
know, go find a regular job. Why did I choose
to do this? Because prior to that I worked at
Chick -fil -A. My life wasn't so bad. But I decided
to take a risk. A lot of men, they take the wrong
risks. They take the risk of getting into a relationship
too early on. They take the risk of maybe trying
to make fast money. Instead of taking a risk
that's... gonna serve a larger purpose. They
take a very short -sighted risk, which leads
them to taking either short -term rewards and
getting screwed over in the future, or they try
to get out and they have this period of trying
to rebuild what was burned in this attempt to
make short, fast money. And so, my friends, I
return back to the question of who do you want
to become? And I and make no mistake about it.
It will change over time. It's changed for me
over time. I Want I originally wanted to do talk
radio talk radio is something that I grew up
on to an extent and I also I Respect people who
do talk radio even if I disagree with the politics.
I Like the meaning of talk radio to me more than
watching things on YouTube I'm not as much a
visual guy when it comes to that kind of learning
I prefer to listen when I'm learning in the same
way that that's why I Used to do more face content
and I will because that's how you win in the
world of content today It's very hard to make
a oh any kind of living doing what I'm doing
podcasting wise just doing an audio show You
know those days are long gone with all the theatrics
that in help Completely saturated the podcasting
universe has become But nonetheless it's incredibly
important for you to have a beacon You don't
want to be a ship just sailing around having
no port of destination You have to realize what
do you want to be at this current moment? You're
gonna want to be an astronaut a doctor I don't
know a stockbroker could be anything under the
Sun But you need to have a goal you need to have
a reason to look better a reason to try in life
because I think What civilization the way it
is today and the longer lives were living thanks
to the miracles of modern science a lot of people
have the convenience and yes, I do mean convenience
of Sitting there and saying I don't know what
I want to do and I kind of just will coast There
used to be a time where you couldn't just coast
you either had to get in gear or get run over
and Nowadays, that's not as obvious as it once
was And I think it's incredibly important that
you, if you want to win, I think everybody wants
to be rich. I've never met someone who wants
to be poor. People who are poor want to be rich.
People who are rich want to get richer. But people
don't know what they're willing to give to get
the life they want. And getting rich doesn't
mean you're sitting on a hoard of money or diving
into a pot of gold like Scrooge McDuck, it means
that you have options in your life. Contrary
to popular belief in what you'll hear on a lot
of people's shows or in the media itself, being
poor is not a virtue. I know it might be put
that way in a lot of religions and a lot of political
spectrums, but it's not true. In fact, I've met
a lot more people who are poor, who are goddess,
bums of the lowest order. Trying to steal from
you every chance I got trying to lift your wallet
out of your back pocket every time he turned
your back And I know people who were rich who
have helped build thousands of jobs Helped people
pull themselves out of the cover and provided
people with opportunity Now you're gonna find
goniffs who are rich and you're gonna find gangsters
who are poor you're gonna find everything because
life is a spectrum yes, there's Black and white.
I believe there are absolutes when it comes to
good and evil Some things can never be good and
some things can only be only be bad in the same
notion that's not the majority the majority is
Somewhere in between the two I just described
some things will always be evil and some things
will always be good and you need to find in between
Where that gray area is that you live in and
what you need to define your own moral code?
The reason I say that is because a part of my
philosophy in biblical bachelor is you have to
define Who you are to then define who you want
to become? You can't become something else if
you don't know what you currently are Because
you don't know what changes you'll have to make
in the same way that a doctor Can't diagnose
you unless they know what the problem is and
then therefore know how to treat the problem
They need to know you have a problem You can't
just say I want to be an astronaut, but you don't
know what you're doing right now You don't know
where you're going with your life. You don't
know anything other than what you want It's a
good starting point, but you need to know You
need to have a general idea of who you currently
are to then know what you need to change or give
up To get where you want to go. Otherwise you're
you're going to try to refix things that don't
need to be fixed or you're going to avoid things
that maybe you should have paid better attention
to. Oh, let me get a drink real quick. Also,
you need to take your nutrition seriously. I'm
sitting here getting a smoothie. It's actually
very important. Your nutrition is incredibly
important. I don't understand how people can
eat. Lot of the crap they eat today you ever
go whether it's you're walking or you're driving
you ever go down the street And they see people
who are just they look they're fat as horses
They're out here looking like they should have
their own gravitational pull and you ask yourself
you scratch your head How do they get like how
do they allow themselves to be complete pigs
like this? Forget the the so -called beauty standards
Focus more on how can you not like yourself to
the extent that you're slowly killing yourself
with food? Because what you're doing, I don't
care what you say. I care about what I'm seeing
with my own eyes. My eyes aren't lying to me
just as your ears aren't lying to you when you
hear me say it. I don't understand people who
don't take their health seriously. No, I'm not
saying a dude who looks like. Arnold Schwarzenegger
who goes to your gym is healthy for all I know
he's taking hella gear He's taking tests and
trend and he's blowing out his liver his kidneys
and he's killing himself. That's not healthy
You need to find again I'm gonna refer back to
what I just said You have to define what you
want and where you are to get where to where
you want to go That's how change is cultivated
change happens whether you like it or not Change
is gonna find you your life will not stay the
same in fact. You shouldn't want your life to
stay the same Yes, I said it you shouldn't want
your life to stay where it is right now because
then you're not gonna grow as a person I never
understood these guys who like wear these their
baseball caps backwards, and they're like 37
38 and They look like they try to dress like
they're younger than me and I'm 25 Trying to
act like they should be back in college. I don't
get it It's sick It's sick. They're walking around
in the midlife crisis But instead of accepting
who they are and trying to maybe go maybe they
need maybe they need HRT Maybe they need to get
their stuff back in the gym. Maybe they need
to go see a doctor and make sure whatever it
is Why are they focused more on? The circumstantial
they're not focused on the long term, which is
why I think it's important you take care of yourself
Don't cheap out on yourself. You should always
want to invest in yourself. That's my opinion.
I Don't understand people who will cheap out
on themselves, but buy nice things for other
people I don't get that that can someone explain
that to me Why would you cheap out on yourself
buy nice things for other people? It's one thing
to do treat yourself. Well and treat others well
But why in the world would you treat yourself
like crap? all the while you're doing all these
nice things for people. Let's say I know people
and I know people and you know who you are if
you know me in real life. I know people who will
buy a nice steak dinner for them for their wife
or their girlfriend or a girl they want to get
with. They won't take themselves to that steakhouse.
They won't take themselves out to do something
nice, but they'll do it for a woman. They'll
do it for their parents. They'll do it for somebody
else. They won't do it for themselves, though.
And I think it's incredibly sad when I see it.
And so when we talk about people, especially
men, because I'm a man, I speak from the male
perspective, we all too often focus on the cosmic.
We focus on things that we we feel like passengers
in the in the car of life. Like we don't have
the ability to control our lives. I felt like
that, especially recently, my job. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. I don't. treat y 'all like you're my
therapist and I'm sitting on a couch talking
to you about all my life problems. I'm not that
kind of content creator. But make no mistake,
my life's not perfect. Not by any stretch of
the imagination. So if you're going through hard
times in your life right now, I don't care if
your girlfriend, you know, problems with your
wife, your girlfriend or your professional life's
having a turn or your life not looking the way
you like. You're not alone, sir. Not by any stretch
of the imagination. Let me tell you. You know,
Social media is one of the things I hate especially
about Instagram is this idea that you look at
everybody living their best life. You think everybody's
happy and you're not. You're the only one that's
miserable. You're the only one feeling life's
burdens and know what else is. It's it's not
true. It's not true. In fact, it's actually the
opposite. I found the people who are talking
all the time about, oh, I went to this place.
I met these people. I saw this celebrity in Beverly
Hills. I'm going to Europe next month. Like they're
the most miserable people on earth. I mean, maybe
it's not new and you will fit in that category,
but I'll tell you all too often. I hear people
going through that. They are the most miserable
people on earth because they're trying to find
happiness somewhere. I think happiness is going
to Rome or meeting some means some Vimbo in Europe.
they think that happiness is to be found somewhere
else doing something else doing somebody else
they think that's where they're going to find
their happiness from it's just not true they're
trying to escape the fact they're not happy by
going somewhere else meaning somebody else doing
something else professionally they think it's
gonna make them happy but the answer is it won't
Happiness is fleeting, by the way. You should
never want to focus and never live your life
based off of happiness. That's my opinion. People
who chase happiness are the most miserable SOBs
on the planet. They're the people who do drugs
and die of a heroin overdose at age 26. Just
look at all the people on Hollywood. You'd think
they'd be the happiest people on earth when they're
making all this money. Knowing all these amazing
people going to all these fun parties having
all these nice houses and cars when yeah, they
they overdose on heroin How do you explain that
how do you explain the guy in the gutter who's
homeless is Not overdosing on heroin. Meanwhile,
the guy who makes a hundred million dollars a
year and is on top of his game dies of meth at
a drug party in Beverly Hills, I Don't know Other
than the fact that everybody's trying to be happy
and instead of focusing on being fulfilled They're
focused on filling themselves with garbage filling
themselves with wealth Filling themselves with
something that's going to fill the void in their
soul For some people they find that in religion
I Think religion is incredibly important. It's
pivotal to my life, but I don't find my happiness
in prayer Although I salute you if you do I don't
I Think it's a piece to the puzzle. I don't think
it is a puzzle in the same way that people try
to find it in Having tons of sexual conquests
or having the dream body through drugs or do
intense dieting plans and make them miserable
in their own life my friends You have to realize
what matters to you You have to ask yourself
if you don't know the answer, you got to ask
that question and you got to find an answer.
Because too many of us, we don't know what we're
living our lives for. We only know what we don't
like and what we would change about what we see
around us. And I think living that way is a recipe
for being unhappy, not for being fulfilled. I
live my life to be fulfilled at the end of my
life. And I look back and I look at what I've
built, who's beside me. And I think to myself,
that's what I want. Now do I indulge here and
there and do things that make me feel good in
the moment? Of course, I do. I'm a human being
too. But I'm willing to forego immediate gratification
in every single situation to go in the larger
picture because that is what matters. That to
me is worth it. But is it worth it for you? That's
the question you have to ask yourself Are you
willing to give up things to get things down
the line? In the same way that you're not going
to show up in a field and have it be full of
grain You have to plant the seeds. You have to
be willing to give Give to the earth to get something
back. You have to give to yourself to get something
back Otherwise you risk something like a moron
who says to a furnace give me heat and then I'll
give you the wood It doesn't work that way in
life not in by any stretch In the same way that
you my friend listening to the show you have
to decide what you want in your life But please
do not be like that schmuck I saw on on Twitter
today that this big buff black guy is doing this
big Trending thing where he's like dunking his
head in ice water that moron You know that like
that's how they torture people in China. I know
they tortured Jews in the Holocaust That's what
I used to torture people But now we use here
doing it unto himself and pretending like it's
some helpful thing to shock your nervous system
like that and that five o 'clock in the morning
I Think he's a moron personally Moron with good
abs that probably got etched out. But hey, yeah,
he's still an idiot in my opinion anyway My friends
all about what you want. What do you want to
give? To get what you want because everybody
wants something but everybody is willing to give
Something for what they want and you have to
decide that you're not gonna get what you want
Unless you're willing to give up something else
To get what you want get to lose what you have
My friends let me know how have you given in
life and how have you received a return on that
investment? I'd love to hear it My friends, I'm
gonna head out of here I will enjoy the rest
of my day off on Sunday. You do the same thing,
and I will catch you on the flip side. I'm out
of here. Peace.
