Speaker A
looks at this homeless dude. He's talking on the phone, and he says, you know what the funny realization of it is? When you see two homeless people talking to each other, one is giving the other one advice, and the other one is accepting it. And
Speaker A
that's what the point of this [ __ ] video is. Don't take advice from [ __ ] losers. Don't get coached by a [ __ ] weenie. If that person doesn't have the [ __ ] results that you want in each
Speaker A
and every area that they're giving you advice, throw that [ __ ] out the window. Just throw them out like a [ __ ]. Can have all the money in the world, but he gives you relationship advice, and he [ __ ] has six divorces.
Speaker A
You know, seven baby mamas? Do you better not [ __ ] take that advice. [ __ ] It's gonna land you exactly, exactly where he is. You will end up like the influences and the leaders inside of your life time and
Speaker A
time and time and time again. [ __ ] They're gonna infiltrate your thought process. Your environment makes up who you are as a person, so you gotta be real [ __ ] careful with the selection of your environment. Human
Speaker A
beings are some of the only [ __ ] creatures that decide exactly, exactly where we're gonna be. Birds fly with migration patterns. Dolphins, fish swim with migration patterns. Us as human beings, I could decide to go to a [ __ ] Morocco
Speaker A
tomorrow if I want to, but I'm not. I don't know anybody [ __ ] there. There's nobody out there that has the results that I want, so you need to be real [ __ ] careful. If so, if a fat
Speaker A
[ __ ] is giving you health advice, are you going to listen to them? Like, yeah, you probably have a million dollars [ __ ], but don't tell me how to do a [ __ ] push-up. If I listen to your
Speaker A
advice, if I listen to your [ __ ] advice, am I gonna look like you? If I listen to your advice, is my business going to be like yours? If I listen to your advice, is my life going to end up like yours? You need
Speaker A
to ask that [ __ ] question every single time somebody gives you some advice because [ __ ] oh my God, it's like an [ __ ]. Everybody's got an opinion, and most of the [ __ ] time,
Speaker A
more times than not, they [ __ ] smell like [ __ ]. Everybody loves to give an opinion where it's not warranted, and when you start leveling up, when you start doing better for yourself, when you start getting to
Speaker A
that next [ __ ] level, the people around you that are used to you at a certain level are gonna give you advice to bring you down to their level because it [ __ ] scares them. It scares them to
Speaker A
see somebody from you, the same [ __ ] environment, level up. Bucket of [ __ ] crabs. I know you heard that one before, right? When somebody's trying to get out to the top, those [ __ ] are gonna
Speaker A
reach down and tear them down. And this will happen so many [ __ ] times in the black community. Take a look at [ __ ] rappers. If you don't believe me, I'm not being [ __ ] racist. I'm being realist.
Speaker A
You [ __ ] soft ass [ __ ] at home. You understand the [ __ ] difference? Rappers get up, they talk about suit and shoot and shoot and shoot, and then they get [ __ ] shot. Oh, lo and
Speaker A
behold, oh, he was such a good human being. [ __ ] He was about that life, and then he got taken out by that [ __ ] life by people that listened to his [ __ ] lyrics. It's
Speaker A
no brainer. It's a no [ __ ] brainer that [ __ ] is gonna happen. It's a no [ __ ] brainer. Surround yourself with positive [ __ ] influences, and you end up being a positive [ __ ].
Speaker A
Surround yourself with negative [ __ ] influences, and guess what? The end result is going to be X doesn't equal Y. [ __ ] X does not equal Y in any [ __ ] reality. You gotta understand you are the sum
Speaker A
total of the five people that you hang around with. If you're with five broke [ __ ], you're the sixth. If you're with five fat [ __ ], you're the sixth. You're gonna eat at the same [ __ ]
Speaker A
restaurants. You're gonna play the same [ __ ] games. You're gonna drink the same [ __ ] drinks. It's a no [ __ ] brainer. Like, this [ __ ] is so simple. It's so [ __ ] simple, and I have to make a
Speaker A
[ __ ] video about it. Don't get coached by [ __ ] losers. If that [ __ ] doesn't have what you want, kick his advice to the [ __ ] curb and call him out on it. If you really care about a
Speaker A
[ __ ], call them out on it. Say, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. Are you giving me relationship advice right now, Sarah, with your [ __ ] dating track record, with your [ __ ] ex-boyfriends? You're
Speaker A
giving me advice right now? Get the [ __ ] out of here. [ __ ] Go take the [ __ ]. Literally, literally, don't let that [ __ ] spew negative [ __ ] into the next [ __ ] person. Cut that
Speaker A
[ __ ] at the [ __ ] source. Be the light that you want to see in the [ __ ] world. Be the positive that you want to see. Acquire what you admire. I acquire, I admire the man who has a
Speaker A
successful YouTube channel. I don't care if this [ __ ] gets 50 views on this video. It can get 50 [ __ ] views, but the message that I'm sending out to you is something that's positive. That's something I can stand behind, and that's
Speaker A
the biggest [ __ ] part of it all. So many [ __ ] are gonna sell their soul. So I used to sell my soul doing [ __ ] porn on OnlyFans until I [ __ ] realized one day, looking at my phone,
Speaker A
this is [ __ ] disgusting. I can't do this [ __ ]. The money [ __ ], the [ __ ] money. I'd rather be broke with my [ __ ] bride than rich disgusted with myself where I can't look
Speaker A
at myself in the [ __ ] mirror. And if you want to have that in your [ __ ] life, if you want that [ __ ] self-discipline, if you want to be proud of who you are as a person, watch my
Speaker A
[ __ ] video, subscribe to the [ __ ] channel, leave a like and a comment for the algorithm. If this isn't what you want to be, go leave. Nobody's forcing you to stay on the [ __ ] video.
Speaker A
[ __ ] Nobody is [ __ ] forcing you to stay here. If I'm not spitting a message that doesn't resonate with you, if I'm not saying something that's [ __ ] positive, call me out on my [ __ ]. Call me out, but
Speaker A
you're not gonna be [ __ ] able to because I'm not. This message that I give to you, this message that I get for you is just a [ __ ]. I'm an antenna. It's coming from a higher [ __ ] cause.
Speaker A
I'm literally sacrifice. I am an offering to you. I used to be a negative influence. I used to sell [ __ ] drugs, used to go party every single [ __ ] week and get blackout drunk, used to take Xanax,
Speaker A
Percocets, [ __ ] Norcos, you [ __ ] name it. Snorting Adderall, staying up until six, seven a.m., just [ __ ] doing a shitload of [ __ ] drugs with some [ __ ] floozies that mean absolutely
Speaker A
nothing to me now. Oh, liabilities. Stay away from a [ __ ] that's a liability to you. Are they an asset or their liability? You got to look at [ __ ] life like a game of chess. You got your [ __ ] queen, you got your
Speaker A
most powerful piece on the [ __ ] board, your queen, the person you spend the most [ __ ] time with. You got your bishops, you got your knights, you got your rooks, you got your [ __ ] people,
Speaker A
and you choose your [ __ ] people. You choose. It's your [ __ ] chessboard, and at the other side of the [ __ ] chessboard, your opponent, it's time, it's fear, it's consequences of your actions. Oh, [ __ ] on the chessboard, there's
Speaker A
no such thing as a mistake because you made the decision. You made the decision to make that person your queen. You made the decision to make that person your bishop. You made the decision to make that person your knight. You made the
Speaker A
decision to make that person your rook. You, and the only thing that you're gonna learn from these [ __ ] videos of me posting is personal accountability. If you don't like where the [ __ ] you are,
Speaker A
you deserve it. You are where you [ __ ] negotiated yourself to be. You [ __ ] listen. Human beings are what they accept. They are the standards that they hold themselves to. You're not gonna rise to the thoughts of your
Speaker A
expectations. You're gonna fall to the strength of your systems. You're gonna fall to the strengths of your trainings. So it's like [ __ ] Jiu Jitsu. If you look at [ __ ].
Speaker A
should just throw an underhook in there or oh no if I was in that situation then I would do this [ __ ] hypothetical is hypocritical you never know until you're there and until you're there you have no [ __ ] reason to talk
Speaker A
about it no [ __ ] reason to talk about it none zero hypothetical is [ __ ] hypocritical don't get coached by losers I've been coached by losers before I man I lost my [ __ ] virginity to uh to impress
Speaker A
somebody that now I respect but at that time I didn't respect it all that [ __ ] was a loser he's a [ __ ] weenie senior in high school hooking up a [ __ ] freshman chicks [ __ ] hooking
Speaker A

Speaker A
impress somebody I was a [ __ ] loser wow wow now I get to relate the message to you that's something that's on my chessboard for [ __ ] life the decisions that you make are with you for [ __ ] life and the sooner that you
Speaker A
understand that the sooner that you realize that the sooner that you appreciate that there are no mistakes only actions that you made in this [ __ ] life the sooner that you can take a look at the next action that you
Speaker A
make and before you [ __ ] make it you might want to think to yourself how am I going to feel 10 minutes after this how am I going to feel 10 years after this how am I going to feel on my deathbed am
Speaker A
I going to appreciate this action or am I going to feel like a [ __ ] loser for doing it I got this tattoo in my [ __ ] leg that says thank you Universe [ __ ] thankful
Speaker A
for the opportunity to be able to get on this [ __ ] camera and talk to you [ __ ] with some real [ __ ] [ __ ] some [ __ ] that I wish I had and I
Speaker A

Speaker A
emotion I grew up in a household where they were screaming there was arguing so to get through to me I need a screaming if that's not [ __ ] you get out of the [ __ ] video you don't need to be here
Speaker A
but if you need this if you [ __ ] need this watch this message understand that if I have something that you want in this [ __ ] life whether it's a physical body whether it's sobriety whether it's a clear [ __ ] mission
Speaker A
whether whatever the [ __ ] it is get coached by me but if I don't have what you [ __ ] want don't listen to me and that goes that's a [ __ ] Baseline fundamental for everybody for [ __ ] everybody
