Is failure the best teacher -- or is it just a substitute mentor for success? After all, sucking at skateboarding never got Adam anywhere with the hobby, and being a naturally gifted baseball player is exactly what got him on the team. That is, until he got hit by that cement truck...
But perhaps different rules apply in the bedroom. Blake thought that Halloween would be the perfect catalyst for making pirate-role-play a part of his everyday sex life, and Adam "hypothetically" reminisces about that one time he tried his luck with a bowling pin. And while both endeavors failed, there were valuable lessons to be learned, indeed.
In this episode, the fellas discuss the age old adage, "Failure is the best teacher" -- and try to improve upon it in the process.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
What's the show called The Pleasure is Ours? I think
I know how we're kicking it off. Do you already
know the pleasure? The pleasure is ours? By beer down?
(00:25):
This is a t I I brother, I know it's
is that how you come out is hot and heavy
like that. Well that's how I ejaculate. Okay, it's a
it's the beginning of a of a classic Reggaetius and
nine Sean Paul song when Adam Fox, it's like a
a Jamaican reggaetone club. Right when I come, I say,
(00:48):
not giving the night? Right, pimple? Now giving the night?
Does it give me the light? Is that it's just
not giving the night? No way to tell, I think,
just give me that bandament. Welcome to the pleasure the pleasures.
(01:11):
Oh it really is God and it is I'm glad
to be and ours. The pleasure is ours. That's a
kind of fun play on words. The pleasure is ours,
like it goes for hours. When you got a trojan
condo mine, you can fuck. When you're strapped into a
(01:31):
trou jin man's condom, you're able to blink for hours.
So those are the new trademarked phrases. That they're a
I say, I I say boink. Do you guys have
any fun terms with your girl when you say because
you know, I say, I say blink? And now it
became like a funny thing that I was saying. I
(01:51):
was like, hey, maybe we should blink ha ha gigs,
chucks and gigs. But she then now says it during
no like seal, like being like being like, hey, let's go.
Do you want to blink? That's fine? Is she's saying,
blink me harder? And yeah, that would be Is it
like that time of the night where you're both like
(02:12):
two drinks at the bar and she kind of leans
in and she's like, I think I'm ready to point.
I mean, honestly, yeah, that's not too far off. But
I mean, who were you kidding? Nighttime to drinks? Nah?
But damn dude, I'm talking it away. I'm talking it away.
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna double up. I'm
gonna have four, I'm gonna go to bed, and when
(02:35):
I wake up in the morning, you're gonna whisper in
her ear you wanna boink? Is it time to pink? Blinkin?
Since you're so tired there's no way you want to
get out of bed? Do you mind? If we boy,
if we boink, how's that hangover? And that leads us
And that's a nice segue into our topic for this
episode of The Pleasure is ours. Failure is the best teacher.
(03:00):
So sometimes if you fail at at maybe convincing your
lady to boink the night before, maybe the next morning,
maybe the next morning, you can you can learn from
your mistake. And maybe she's a morning gal. You don't know, Yes,
I mean some of the some of the greatest points
ever recorded are in the morning or in the afternoon.
(03:20):
It doesn't happen at every time, doesn't have to It
doesn't happen. Why are we doing it so late? You
know when you you you sometimes you're blinking at like
four am? Like why do we to boink so late
slash early in the morning, like four am? Like those
hook ups are are not tied? Dude, get me, get
(03:41):
me in prime time four A Get me had two
PM right after my peanut, butter and jelly, Like, why,
I mean you've had a You're in a committed relationship
for a long I'm thinking back to my youth. Remember
when he had it was like, you know, the whole
old party and you're just waiting for all the sleep over.
(04:03):
Everyone else fell asleep, and it's like you and a chick,
we're buddied up. You like, no, it's going down. You know,
we're feeling each other. But you have homies who are
just partying into the wee hours of the night, and
you're like, you have nowhere else to go. You don't
have your own house. What you're gonna go back to
your mom and dad's house. And his failure the best
teacher in that situation, maybe you learn, hey, let's get
(04:26):
this done earlier in the day. We can get it
over with and then we can really tie one on
with our friends. There's no option. I'm working at the
movie theater. I have a day job. But do you
have a car? Absolutely not. Kyle is driving me. Stop it.
So we mentioned on this is important, and it is
that Kyle betrayed us, and he is no longer a
(04:47):
part of the podcast, and so he's no longer part
of this podcast as well. When the guy gets busy,
he gets busy across the board. Yeah, there's there's no
way he could fit it in. There's no possible way.
So I don't know how we fit it in, but
for shut on, so you don't know. He's getting blinked
by his project. And I get it. Man, sometimes projects
blink you. I feel like I've been getting point. I
I I you know, I was up in the four
(05:09):
am hour this morning. I feel like I'm a little
point right now. Were you fucking No? I was sorry,
not fucking don't. You don't even know what I'm saying. No.
I didn't even have time to blink myself. I'm alone
in a hotel in Atlanta. I was, you know, shooting
a movie. So you're blinking your hand. But here's the thing.
Our subject of the day is failure is the best teacher.
But you're kind of saying failure is not an option?
(05:29):
So are you? Did you not? I didn't say that.
That's not what I said, because you guys are taking
failure as like not scoring your partner. But I'm saying,
like pleasing man, like maybe failure isn't an option. Hey,
you know, since Kyle's off the project, I don't want
this to be we now the new dynamic is we
(05:50):
pick on plague. Yeah, leave me alone, but let it rain.
But don't say stupid ship, dude. So failure is the
best teacher, right, sure, And that's that's the phrase. I
kind of disagree with it, uh, I mean, I mean
it is a good teacher. It's a substitute teacher. It's
a perfectly good substitute teacher. Like you're not mad a
(06:13):
failure taught to you a thing, but you would prefer
to the way successful successful. It's sort of like like
when you're a kid and you like go to play
a sport and you just absolutely fucking suck at the sport.
What was that sport for you? For me, it was skateboarding.
I cannot skateboard to save my life. I just can't
(06:34):
stand sideways on a thing. I was a fruit booter.
I I strapped into those them rollerblades a skitchen as bitch.
No no, But like okay, but for this saying to work,
failure is the best teacher, then you would have fell
down a couple of times on the skateboard and then
been amazing and then learned from it. But you did
see exactly that's right. That's why I say it's not
(06:56):
the best saying. As I'm saying that it's it isn't
the as teachers because I failed at that, and then
I went and played baseball and I just was good
at that right away, or at least fairly good at it,
and so I was like, well, fun this, I want
to play baseball now. So did failure teach you that
you shouldn't be skateboarding? Arguably? You could say that. Arguably
(07:18):
I like that. Well, have you guys ever had like
a specific failure in the bedroom where you tried something
new and it didn't go over well or I don't know,
I guess let me just think of something dressed up
like a furree comes to mind is something like, no,
(07:41):
I never dressed as a furry. I used to try
to shove bowling pins of the ass and the pleasure dude,
I succeeded, I was, uh, no, I didn't do. I'm
gonna give you guys the hack. The cheat code right
now is Halloween is a great time to explore with
like fun things in the bedroom. So you could be like,
(08:03):
I could be anybody. Yeah, you can really step outside
of who you are in the bed and be like,
now I'm a freaking, a freaking pirate of the bedroom
are and then maybe that's your kink And if they
really really hook them and they're like super into it.
All of a sudden, you're having pirates sex every day,
like you have a hook for a hand because you're
a pirate. But that's the thing, though, Blake. You say
(08:24):
like love may get that boat, and she's like, fucking gross. Start,
I don't act like a pirate. My father was killed
by pirates. I hate pirates. Then then that wouldn't work,
that would not be the best. So next Halloween we
try something else. So let's see failure can happen once
a year. That's when you actually have like a green
(08:45):
light to experiment, like on some real weird ship, you
know what I mean. But but keep going, well, what
is the specific thing like from your life? Specifically? Because
I told you about how I shoved bowling pins up
my asshole. Yeah, and that's a real thing. He was
honest with us. Why aren't you want to How did
(09:07):
you introduce that? How did you even introduce that? And
that was like okay, so okay, hold on a big bowler,
And I was like, we're talking about but play right,
Like maybe you want to start to introduce extreme, Maybe
you want to start to introduce but into the relationship.
You don't come out the gate like, hey, baby, shove
(09:28):
this bowling pin up my ass you want, because you're
gonna fail And that's not that's not a good teacher.
Well maybe you should dump that girl. That's the lesson
you would learn from that. Yeah. So if your thing
is and my thing is, uh, shoving bowling pins up
your ass, I'm just saying, let's work towards that. Then
(09:50):
then and and the first time you go to try it,
you're gonna fail, And that would not be the best teacher.
It's gonna be a harsh teacher. That's for damn sure. Hey,
and what I said, guys, hypothetically, the pleasure our you know,
(10:18):
Trojan gave us so much, uh, so many condoms and
I'm just a backpack full of condoms I got on
very cool. Uh. My mom was visiting me for Thanksgiving
and she needed an extra bag, uh like to go home.
She like got a bunch of stuff when she was there,
and I gave her the Trojan backpack, uh to rock
(10:39):
going home. Trojan man, Trojan Mom. And to be fair,
it's not like it's not just Trojan like plastered all
over the thing. It's kind of like, oh, it's very subtle.
It's as ultra fit on it. But like if you know,
if you know your condoms, which I know my the
homians at L A X and the Kansas City Airport,
we're like, oh, a lot of subtle winks. The six
(11:02):
year old woman is is throwing out some vibes. If
your mom just started getting airport winks. Just sky must
be blanking this old man next to her, that's what's up.
The Hudson News registered guys like I see you girl,
I see you. Um you guys ever buy a penhouse
at the airport by a penthouse at the airport? They
(11:23):
didn't even sell penthouse? Says at the airport? Do they know? Gosh,
I've been tempted, because where are you gonna look at it?
They used to, Oh they used to remember they would
have the little black bars across it. No, they totally
used to. But now they don't. I haven't seen that
in years now. They've stopped. Rino sells them. I guess.
I guess just certain cities. If they stopped, I don't.
(11:44):
I don't want to be here anymore. Man, But like,
who was doing that? Back? Yeah, who's doing that? And
then I was like, what are you looking at it
at the airport, or you pulling a blake and maybe
uh creaking one down in the seat when you're flying.
I didn't need a Penhouse. All I needed was a
little Laura cross fucking advertisement. They probably weren't selling them
(12:06):
and and therefore they stopped, uh putting them in the
in the racks. And guess what that failure to sell
Penthouse at the airport taught them that maybe they shouldn't
be stalking them. Therefore, failure is the best teacher. Still
doesn't make sense, Well, no, because you're right, because remember
Playboy kind of started to fail, so they took the
(12:26):
nudity the out of Playboy and then they failed again. Dude,
it's like maybe maybe they didn't learn the right Sometimes
when you fail and you get taught, you don't learn
the right lesson. Yeah, it's not encouraging, it's discouraging. I
feel like success is the best teacher because you're like, oh, cool,
this is what I did. How did I do that?
I did this right? And it doesn't need to be
(12:47):
a grand slam for to speak on what I'm the
best at, which was baseball, which I mentioned earlier. Did
you ever have a grand slam. No, I like one
home run in the fourth grade. You got a home
run though it Yeah, No, I actually hit a few
home runs in the fourth grade, fourth grade All Star team.
Then I was hit by sment truck and uh was
absolutely shitty at all sports besides tackey sack. But I
(13:11):
feel like you don't have to hit a grand slam
every time. It doesn't need to be a home run.
You just gotta get on base. About these analogies, boys, Well,
I tried to walk it down sports and you guys
said no. But I do agree a grand slam of
but fucking it can't be a sexual grand slam, Like,
holy moly, this is the best sex of my life. Uh,
(13:34):
grand slam is, but fucking for you? Is that? What?
I don't know if that would be my grand it
might be. Yeah, I think I think it. Blake just
out at him and that's fine. That's your thing. That's okay,
that's Blake's Grand Slam. Cool. I'm sure it's a lot
of people's what the rules of the sport a little different.
You guys are playing baseball. I'm playing cricket over here. Baby,
(13:55):
let's go okay, name named two things about the name
one rule of cricket. What do they hit the what
do they hit the ball with battle? I don't know
that checks out? That checks out over here? Yeah, must be.
Failure is not an option. But that's not the same man.
(14:18):
Failure is the best teacher. But that's not true. Failure
isn't is an okay teacher. I think what you said
earlier holds that that holds true right now. It's failure
is the substitute teacher. Failure is a substitute teacher for success. Yes,
I love that. I actually think that's super clean, Like
how about that a little longer, a little chunky. But
failure is the substitute teacher for success. When when you
(14:42):
do something, when when you try something, Now, this is
what I'm saying, you can take the L, but don't
hold on to the L. Come back, Oh my god,
come back reinspired. There's no L in failure. Yeah, there is,
would work if there wasn't no, But I sometimes losing
(15:05):
is what needs to happen. Sometimes you need to be humbled,
right so you can come back or more better the
next time. To say humble again, Like I feel like
if you if you get your ass kicks doing something
or you just getting just like I think you're going
to talk to a girl and you go to talk
to her and she's like crazy rude to you, which
(15:26):
has happened I feel to everybody, or just not interested it. Yeah, no,
it doesn't even have to be ruded. Could just be
like you're the fucking girls be like you're fucking gross,
like like straight up you maybe oh man, that's yeah.
I did just ship myself, like what come on? Man? No,
you always put together. I get it. I'm very very
particular clean cut, uh you know, and she might like
(15:53):
she might hit you with like fucking you're disgusting, your
gross get out of here. I feel like that would
teach me less. I be like, well, not guess what.
I'm not gonna go talk to pretty girls anymore because
they think that I'm a little treasure troll. Now, if
she was like, hey, you know what, Hey, you're pretty
(16:13):
cute for a treasure troll, and she gave me a
little something and and it's like you're pretty cute and
then through the dig in for a treasure troll, I'd
be like, Okay, hey, guess what, I'm pretty cute. I
gotta work on my treasure troll vibe. Okay, yeah, like
maybe giving people luck, but a full rejection, so it's
not a full failure. That's not the best teacher. You're saying,
(16:34):
don't fall flat on your face. That's a part failure.
Life is a treasure troll. There's gonna be some failures. Yeah,
life's a treasure. True, which is a failure, Well, that's
the failure. You gotta pay a little bit into the
in the treasure troll chest of failure jewels. I do
(16:57):
think there are definitely lessons you can learn from losing.
I think we we impart this wisdom on to everybody,
Like if you fail, it's not the end, right, it's
not the end. I don't know. My kid lost his
soccer game the other day and they were fucking done,
tournament over, And did you kick him out of the
house where you like it's over, it's done, or what
(17:19):
do you do? How do you pick him up? I
made him get back on that field and kick the ball. Well,
that thing is is it can be over. You don't
have to succeed in everything you do, Blake. I know
you've tried to skateboard before. I mentioned skateboarding before. I
never see a skateboard. Now. I remember when you used
to go out with Kyle and you would try to
pedal or you know, push the board around or whatever
(17:41):
the funk they say the skateboarders, and you gave up.
Sometimes the lesson that failure is teaching you is that
you shouldn't be doing something sometimes, Right, that's the lesson
I think it ends with sometimes I like what Adam
just did. How about failure is the best teacher Sometimes?
I think if you enter this world and you're parents
like spend their your whole childhood gassing you up, saying
(18:03):
you could do anything, you could be anything, you could
do whatever, and then you actually go and apply yourself
to those things and you fucking suck at it. Yeah,
that's that's the lesson you need to learn, is like,
hey man, I'm not going to be a mathematician. That's
just not happening. But can't you get better at something? Like?
I remember when I met you, I was like, who
(18:25):
is this guy? And you've become like a better guy
you think, I mean, I work on it every day, Doc,
you're a better person now, thank you, man. And I
put in the hours, but that's because I failed a lot. Yeah,
how about uh. Failure is not a teacher. It's an option. Sometimes. No,
(18:47):
I don't like that. No, that one sucked. I like
failure is the best substitute teacher, because the real teacher
is the winning and you want to get back to that.
You want to get those dubs like that's tight? Did
did anyone write that down?
What's the show called The Pleasure is Ours? I think
I know how we're kicking it off. Do you already
know the pleasure? The pleasure is ours? By beer down?
(00:25):
This is a t I I brother, I know it's
is that how you come out is hot and heavy
like that. Well that's how I ejaculate. Okay, it's a
it's the beginning of a of a classic Reggaetius and
nine Sean Paul song when Adam Fox, it's like a
a Jamaican reggaetone club. Right when I come, I say,
(00:48):
not giving the night? Right, pimple? Now giving the night?
Does it give me the light? Is that it's just
not giving the night? No way to tell, I think,
just give me that bandament. Welcome to the pleasure the pleasures.
(01:11):
Oh it really is God and it is I'm glad
to be and ours. The pleasure is ours. That's a
kind of fun play on words. The pleasure is ours,
like it goes for hours. When you got a trojan
condo mine, you can fuck. When you're strapped into a
(01:31):
trou jin man's condom, you're able to blink for hours.
So those are the new trademarked phrases. That they're a
I say, I I say boink. Do you guys have
any fun terms with your girl when you say because
you know, I say, I say blink? And now it
became like a funny thing that I was saying. I
(01:51):
was like, hey, maybe we should blink ha ha gigs,
chucks and gigs. But she then now says it during
no like seal, like being like being like, hey, let's go.
Do you want to blink? That's fine? Is she's saying,
blink me harder? And yeah, that would be Is it
like that time of the night where you're both like
(02:12):
two drinks at the bar and she kind of leans
in and she's like, I think I'm ready to point.
I mean, honestly, yeah, that's not too far off. But
I mean, who were you kidding? Nighttime to drinks? Nah?
But damn dude, I'm talking it away. I'm talking it away.
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna double up. I'm
gonna have four, I'm gonna go to bed, and when
(02:35):
I wake up in the morning, you're gonna whisper in
her ear you wanna boink? Is it time to pink? Blinkin?
Since you're so tired there's no way you want to
get out of bed? Do you mind? If we boy,
if we boink, how's that hangover? And that leads us
And that's a nice segue into our topic for this
episode of The Pleasure is ours. Failure is the best teacher.
(03:00):
So sometimes if you fail at at maybe convincing your

I mean some of the some of the greatest points

(03:20):
It doesn't happen at every time, doesn't have to It
doesn't happen. Why are we doing it so late? You

four am? Like why do we to boink so late
slash early in the morning, like four am? Like those
hook ups are are not tied? Dude, get me, get
(03:41):
me in prime time four A Get me had two

So we mentioned on this is important, and it is
that Kyle betrayed us, and he is no longer a

he gets busy across the board. Yeah, there's there's no

So I don't know how we fit it in, but
for shut on, so you don't know. He's getting blinked
by his project. And I get it. Man, sometimes projects
blink you. I feel like I've been getting point. I
I I you know, I was up in the four
(05:09):
am hour this morning. I feel like I'm a little
point right now. Were you fucking No? I was sorry,
not fucking don't. You don't even know what I'm saying. No.
I didn't even have time to blink myself. I'm alone

you shouldn't be skateboarding? Arguably? You could say that. Arguably
(07:18):
I like that. Well, have you guys ever had like
a specific failure in the bedroom where you tried something
new and it didn't go over well or I don't know,
I guess let me just think of something dressed up
like a furree comes to mind is something like, no,
(07:41):
I never dressed as a furry. I used to try
to shove bowling pins of the ass and the pleasure dude,
I succeeded, I was, uh, no, I didn't do. I'm
gonna give you guys the hack. The cheat code right
now is Halloween is a great time to explore with
like fun things in the bedroom. So you could be like,
(08:03):
I could be anybody. Yeah, you can really step outside
of who you are in the bed and be like,
now I'm a freaking, a freaking pirate of the bedroom
are and then maybe that's your kink And if they
really really hook them and they're like super into it.
All of a sudden, you're having pirates sex every day,
like you have a hook for a hand because you're
a pirate. But that's the thing, though, Blake. You say
(08:24):
like love may get that boat, and she's like, fucking gross. Start,
I don't act like a pirate. My father was killed
by pirates. I hate pirates. Then then that wouldn't work,
that would not be the best. So next Halloween we
try something else. So let's see failure can happen once
a year. That's when you actually have like a green
(08:45):
light to experiment, like on some real weird ship, you
know what I mean. But but keep going, well, what
is the specific thing like from your life? Specifically? Because
I told you about how I shoved bowling pins up
my asshole. Yeah, and that's a real thing. He was
honest with us. Why aren't you want to How did
(09:07):
you introduce that? How did you even introduce that? And
that was like okay, so okay, hold on a big bowler,
And I was like, we're talking about but play right,
Like maybe you want to start to introduce extreme, Maybe
you want to start to introduce but into the relationship.
You don't come out the gate like, hey, baby, shove
(09:28):
this bowling pin up my ass you want, because you're
gonna fail And that's not that's not a good teacher.
Well maybe you should dump that girl. That's the lesson
you would learn from that. Yeah. So if your thing
is and my thing is, uh, shoving bowling pins up
your ass, I'm just saying, let's work towards that. Then
(09:50):
then and and the first time you go to try it,
you're gonna fail, And that would not be the best teacher.
It's gonna be a harsh teacher. That's for damn sure. Hey,
and what I said, guys, hypothetically, the pleasure our you know,
(10:18):
Trojan gave us so much, uh, so many condoms and
I'm just a backpack full of condoms I got on
very cool. Uh. My mom was visiting me for Thanksgiving
and she needed an extra bag, uh like to go home.
She like got a bunch of stuff when she was there,
and I gave her the Trojan backpack, uh to rock
(10:39):
going home. Trojan man, Trojan Mom. And to be fair,
it's not like it's not just Trojan like plastered all
over the thing. It's kind of like, oh, it's very subtle.
It's as ultra fit on it. But like if you know,
if you know your condoms, which I know my the
homians at L A X and the Kansas City Airport,
we're like, oh, a lot of subtle winks. The six
(11:02):
year old woman is is throwing out some vibes. If
your mom just started getting airport winks. Just sky must
be blanking this old man next to her, that's what's up.
The Hudson News registered guys like I see you girl,
I see you. Um you guys ever buy a penhouse
at the airport by a penthouse at the airport? They
(11:23):
didn't even sell penthouse? Says at the airport? Do they know? Gosh,
I've been tempted, because where are you gonna look at it?
They used to, Oh they used to remember they would
have the little black bars across it. No, they totally
used to. But now they don't. I haven't seen that
in years now. They've stopped. Rino sells them. I guess.
I guess just certain cities. If they stopped, I don't.
(11:44):
I don't want to be here anymore. Man, But like,
who was doing that? Back? Yeah, who's doing that? And
then I was like, what are you looking at it
at the airport, or you pulling a blake and maybe
uh creaking one down in the seat when you're flying.
I didn't need a Penhouse. All I needed was a
little Laura cross fucking advertisement. They probably weren't selling them
(12:06):
and and therefore they stopped, uh putting them in the
in the racks. And guess what that failure to sell
Penthouse at the airport taught them that maybe they shouldn't
be stalking them. Therefore, failure is the best teacher. Still
doesn't make sense, Well, no, because you're right, because remember
Playboy kind of started to fail, so they took the
(12:26):
nudity the out of Playboy and then they failed again. Dude,
it's like maybe maybe they didn't learn the right Sometimes
when you fail and you get taught, you don't learn
the right lesson. Yeah, it's not encouraging, it's discouraging. I
feel like success is the best teacher because you're like, oh, cool,
this is what I did. How did I do that?
I did this right? And it doesn't need to be
(12:47):
a grand slam for to speak on what I'm the
best at, which was baseball, which I mentioned earlier. Did
you ever have a grand slam. No, I like one
home run in the fourth grade. You got a home
run though it Yeah, No, I actually hit a few
home runs in the fourth grade, fourth grade All Star team.
Then I was hit by sment truck and uh was
absolutely shitty at all sports besides tackey sack. But I
(13:11):
feel like you don't have to hit a grand slam
every time. It doesn't need to be a home run.
You just gotta get on base. About these analogies, boys, Well,
I tried to walk it down sports and you guys
said no. But I do agree a grand slam of
but fucking it can't be a sexual grand slam, Like,
holy moly, this is the best sex of my life. Uh,
(13:34):
grand slam is, but fucking for you? Is that? What?
I don't know if that would be my grand it
might be. Yeah, I think I think it. Blake just
out at him and that's fine. That's your thing. That's okay,
that's Blake's Grand Slam. Cool. I'm sure it's a lot
of people's what the rules of the sport a little different.
You guys are playing baseball. I'm playing cricket over here. Baby,
(13:55):
let's go okay, name named two things about the name
one rule of cricket. What do they hit the what
do they hit the ball with battle? I don't know
that checks out? That checks out over here? Yeah, must be.
Failure is not an option. But that's not the same man.
(14:18):
Failure is the best teacher. But that's not true. Failure
isn't is an okay teacher. I think what you said
earlier holds that that holds true right now. It's failure
is the substitute teacher. Failure is a substitute teacher for success. Yes,
I love that. I actually think that's super clean, Like
how about that a little longer, a little chunky. But
failure is the substitute teacher for success. When when you
(14:42):
do something, when when you try something, Now, this is
what I'm saying, you can take the L, but don't
hold on to the L. Come back, Oh my god,
come back reinspired. There's no L in failure. Yeah, there is,
would work if there wasn't no, But I sometimes losing
(15:05):
is what needs to happen. Sometimes you need to be humbled,
right so you can come back or more better the
next time. To say humble again, Like I feel like
if you if you get your ass kicks doing something
or you just getting just like I think you're going
to talk to a girl and you go to talk
to her and she's like crazy rude to you, which
(15:26):
has happened I feel to everybody, or just not interested it. Yeah, no,
it doesn't even have to be ruded. Could just be
like you're the fucking girls be like you're fucking gross,
like like straight up you maybe oh man, that's yeah.
I did just ship myself, like what come on? Man? No,
you always put together. I get it. I'm very very
particular clean cut, uh you know, and she might like
(15:53):
she might hit you with like fucking you're disgusting, your
gross get out of here. I feel like that would
teach me less. I be like, well, not guess what.
I'm not gonna go talk to pretty girls anymore because
they think that I'm a little treasure troll. Now, if
she was like, hey, you know what, Hey, you're pretty
(16:13):
cute for a treasure troll, and she gave me a
little something and and it's like you're pretty cute and
then through the dig in for a treasure troll, I'd
be like, Okay, hey, guess what, I'm pretty cute. I
gotta work on my treasure troll vibe. Okay, yeah, like
maybe giving people luck, but a full rejection, so it's
not a full failure. That's not the best teacher. You're saying,
(16:34):
don't fall flat on your face. That's a part failure.
Life is a treasure troll. There's gonna be some failures. Yeah,
life's a treasure. True, which is a failure, Well, that's
the failure. You gotta pay a little bit into the
in the treasure troll chest of failure jewels. I do
(16:57):
think there are definitely lessons you can learn from losing.
I think we we impart this wisdom on to everybody,
Like if you fail, it's not the end, right, it's
not the end. I don't know. My kid lost his
soccer game the other day and they were fucking done,
tournament over, And did you kick him out of the
house where you like it's over, it's done, or what
(17:19):
do you do? How do you pick him up? I
made him get back on that field and kick the ball. Well,
that thing is is it can be over. You don't
have to succeed in everything you do, Blake. I know
you've tried to skateboard before. I mentioned skateboarding before. I
never see a skateboard. Now. I remember when you used
to go out with Kyle and you would try to
pedal or you know, push the board around or whatever
(17:41):
the funk they say the skateboarders, and you gave up.
Sometimes the lesson that failure is teaching you is that
you shouldn't be doing something sometimes, Right, that's the lesson
I think it ends with sometimes I like what Adam
just did. How about failure is the best teacher Sometimes?
I think if you enter this world and you're parents
like spend their your whole childhood gassing you up, saying
(18:03):
you could do anything, you could be anything, you could
do whatever, and then you actually go and apply yourself
to those things and you fucking suck at it. Yeah,
that's that's the lesson you need to learn, is like,
hey man, I'm not going to be a mathematician. That's
just not happening. But can't you get better at something? Like?
I remember when I met you, I was like, who
(18:25):
is this guy? And you've become like a better guy
you think, I mean, I work on it every day, Doc,
you're a better person now, thank you, man. And I
put in the hours, but that's because I failed a lot. Yeah,
how about uh. Failure is not a teacher. It's an option. Sometimes. No,
(18:47):
I don't like that. No, that one sucked. I like
failure is the best substitute teacher, because the real teacher
is the winning and you want to get back to that.
You want to get those dubs like that's tight? Did
did anyone write that down?
