Speaker 1 (00:00):
It sucks now, but it'll get better later. It always does.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
You are now listening to the Inner Circle podcast network.
Never Die Die Die Die Die Die Die.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
All right, it is Wednesday. This is the Angry Dad.
Thank you guys for tuning in, and before we get
in today's podcast, I like to thank my podcast sponsor,
every Day Fit Life, a simple, easy to follow nutrition
and workout plant, two things that work synergistically that fucking
help you line up. It's something that is simple, easy.

(00:42):
You do not have like this overarching like thing that
you have to follow is like no, it's a simple plan.
It's loose, so it works with your schedule. It it
lays out the blueprint to lose weight, feel great, and
to get in shape. It really sets you up for success.
And like I said, you can purchase it, start with it,
work with it. And like I said, it's adjustable. It

(01:04):
has all the information you need to just dial it
in and really get your shit to fuckinggether. And you
can get twenty percent off at checkout. Use my code
links in the notes as every Day fit Life, So
make sure you check it the fuck out. I appreciate
it all right. Now I want to get into something that,
Like I said, at the end of the day, everything
takes hard fucking work. Everything takes hard fucking work. A

(01:29):
lot of us don't fucking really understand or fucking get it. Like,
if you want to succeed or accomplish or really fucking
get anything fucking done, it takes you putting the fucking
foot to the road. It takes you starting, it takes
you doing it. It takes your time, it takes your effort.
Everything in your life is worth it. But the thing

(01:49):
is is a lot of us just need to get
the fuck up and do it. Realize that we have
to put in the work. If there's anything that you
want to do, anything that you want to accomplish in
your life, whether it's going to school, well, fucking getting
a new job, getting in shape, cleaning your fucking house,
taking care of your fucking house. Shit, even if you
just like tell yourself, I have a goal of making

(02:10):
more money, well gets to fuck what. It all comes
down to hard fucking work, fucking making sure that you
fucking get shit fucking done, whether you want to or
fucking not, Because that's what always comes down to, whether
you want to or not. Because when you don't want
to do shit. Nothing ever gets fucking done, nothing ever
gets fucking solved, nothing begins. All right, a lot of

(02:33):
us fucking say we want this, we want that, we
want to do this. I wish, I fucking I dream
one fucking day. Well gets the fuck what that one
day can come that fucking wish can come true. But
it starts with you understanding that everything takes hard fucking work.

(02:54):
It takes effort, It takes all your fucking effort, it
takes all your fucking time, it takes every ounce of
fucking energy. You have to just get fucking done. There's
a lot of us that don't want to get up.
There's a lot of us that just don't want to
fucking do shit. There's a lot of us who just
fucking want to just stay in bed. Fuck all this bullshit.
I don't feel good, I have depression, I have anxiety.

(03:17):
Life is overbearing and all that. But guess the fuck
what even to conquer that takes hard fucking work, and
you have to wake up. You have to realize that
you need to make the change. All right, A lot
of us fucking sit there thinking things will change one day.
Fuck no, it won't. Fuck no, it won't it will
never fucking change if you don't do anything the fuck

(03:40):
about it, all right. I always talk about mental health.
I always talk about fucking all these feelings, in these emotions,
all these new aspects of things that I fucking learned
in my fucking life. But the thing is is at
the beginning of everything that I've ever wanted to change,
to grow, to become took me fucking starting it, working it,

(04:01):
changing it, putting in my time, putting in my fucking effort,
knowing it's worth it, because I'm worth it. You can't
get over anything, you can't fucking change anything. There is
nothing in your life that is holding you fucking back,
but fucking you, all right. I have every excuse in
the book. I constantly say it, and people are like,

(04:22):
what do you mean? You constantly say that you have
all these fucking excuses. Guess the fuck what. A large
portion of my life is just me, my kids, fucking
working a night job. I fucking had multiple fucking heart attacks,
I've had strokes, I've had fucking my leg damn near
blow up. I've had so many things that hold me back,

(04:43):
that have fucking significantly hurt me, put me out a
fucking commission for a long fucking time. But every fucking
time I fucking gathered my shit back together, I fucking
get my shit fucking straight, I get my shit fucking tight,
and I don't ever fucking care or think about it again,
because that that's in the fucking past, and the only
way to change the fucking past. The only way to

(05:04):
get out of my fucking bad habits, the only way
to get out of my fucking way is to forget yesterday.
I forget yesterday so I can start today. Every day's
a new fucking start. Every fucking week's a new fucking start.
Every month has a new fucking beginning. And the only
way you change, the only way you fucking grow, is
you put in the time, you put in the effort,
and you realize that you're fucking worth it, all right.

(05:27):
You want better, you have to do better, and by
doing better starts with fucking working for it. I don't
give a fuck how small, how fast, how fucking like
insignificant the work is. You have to fucking put it in,
because you put in all these tiny fucking efforts, and
all of a sudden it gets to the larger fucking things.
Because once you knock out all the bullshit in your

(05:48):
fucking life. All of a sudden, you gotta take on
the better, bigger fucking task. You gotta take on the
bigger fucking opportunity. You have to fucking shoot your fucking
shot and understand that you can work it, you can
make it, you can do it. You want this. You
got to fucking get this all right. I don't know
how many times I fucking laid around the fucking house
wondering my why my life never fucking got better. It's

(06:10):
because I was always doing the same stupid fucking bullshit,
feeling fucking sorry, feeling fucking bad, feeling fucking fucking horrible
about my fucking life. I dwelled on it. I fucking
sad on it. I fucking stewed in it. I was like,
WHOA is fucking me? Shit is fucking horrible. Nothing's ever
gonna get right. I'm never gonna make enough money, I'm
never gonna dig myself out of this fucking hole. Shit

(06:32):
will never fucking change. This is my fucking life. And
then one day I had that fucking light bulb fucking moment.
I had that fucking epiphany that why am I letting
this take me? Fucking down because there's no fucking reason to,
all right, there's not. I was making every excuse I
could to not fucking accept the responsibilities of what I

(06:55):
need to fucking do to change my fucking life. And
it's the same fucking thing for everybody here listening here,
this shit, look inwards, look at what you're fucking doing.
Is the same thing giving you the same fucking results. Well,
the only way to change those fucking results is to
see it, understand it, and know that you can outwork that,

(07:15):
all right, You can outwork anything in your fucking life
to fucking change, to fucking grow, And the more you
fucking outwork it, the better you fucking get at it,
and the better you fucking get it, all of a
fucking sudden, your life is fucking changed. The effort, the time,
it is all fucking worth it. It sucks in the
fucking beginning. Everything sucks in the fucking beginning. When you

(07:36):
start a new fucking job, when you start a new
fucking career, when you fucking start this new adventure in
your fucking life, everything is difficult because you don't know
how to do it, You don't know how to fucking
handle it. But Guess the fuck what. Over time, your
life fucking changes. Over time, things fucking get better. Over
fucking time, you start developing this pattern of fucking success,

(07:59):
and that snows ball, that's literally snowsball into fucking what
you want in your fucking life. Who you want to
fucking be, what you wanna fucking do, the way you
want to fucking live, and the way your things need
to become. It all starts with you putting in the time,
putting in the effort, and understanding that this is what
it fucking takes. It sucks now, but it'll get better later.

(08:22):
It always does. Setbacks fucking happen. Shit will fucking knock
you into the fucking dirt, and understand that. Guess the
fuck what. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start
the fuck over, start again, all right. Shit always fucking happens.
It'll never be the right time. It'll never be the

(08:43):
right place. It will never be the optim optimum fucking
time to start. It will never There's never a perfect
fucking moment. All it is is you just fucking starting,
regardless of your situation, regardless of what shit's going on.
You can cannot change, you cannot grow. If you do
not just fucking work, all right. Everything takes time, Everything

(09:09):
takes effort. I fucking know, boohoo, this shit fucking sucks.
It's fucking hard, but guess the fuck way, if you
want to change, if you want to grow, if you
want to become something, you have to just fucking be
willing to do what it fucking takes to make it
fucking happen. You gotta fake it to your fucking make it.
You gotta fucking just push yourself beyond what you would

(09:30):
push yourself, get out of your fucking comfort zone and
understand that you are worth it. It's always fucking worth it.
A better life for you, your family, your situation, your
mental fucking health, everything, every aspect of your life takes
fucking work. It takes fucking effort, and it takes you

(09:51):
to push past what the fuck you're willing to accept,
all right. I only accept a certain level of fucking
anything in my life life now. If it's subpar of
it's something I don't want, I don't fucking accept it,
because guess the fuck what I can do better than that.
I can work harder than that, I can push myself
to that fucking level. And that's what it fucking takes
to succeed in life, all right. It's just a little

(10:14):
fucking nudge, a little fucking push, a little fucking understanding that.
Guess what, keep fucking movie, keep grinding, keep the momentum,
and guess the fuck what if you fuck up? You fail?
Shit hits the fucking fan. It's just an opportunity to
fucking grow, learn change, and set yourself up for the

(10:36):
fucking next time, all right, because I guarantee the world
will beat you down, put you in the fucking dirt
and let you fucking suffer until you're willing to fucking
just not me, not today. Guess the fuck what. I
ain't that motherfucker. I ain't that fucking person. You ain't
the one to stop me, because nobody gets in my

(10:59):
fucking way. Because I have a goal. I know what
I want to do. I want to push fucking forward.
I want a better fucking life. And the way you
get that better fucking life is understanding that you deserve it,
that you earn it, that you, as a person in

(11:20):
this fucking world, deserves happiness, and that happiness is the
life that you fucking choose, all right, You have to
choose happiness every fucking day you wake up, because if
you don't, there's a reason to feel like shit. There's
a reason to feel fucking horrible, there's a reason to
be depressed. There's a reason why your life is in

(11:43):
fucking shambles, all right, And it's because you didn't choose
to be fucking happy. And people were like, oh, well,
you know, some people chemical all day. I guess the
fuck what. There are so many tips and tricks out there.
You can literally google, chat, gbt ai, whatever the fuck
it is small, all little things that can change the
chemistry and your fucking brain that are fucking free. All right.

(12:06):
I understand depression, I understand anxiety. I understand the need
of just wanting to stay home because life is too
fucking hard. But at the end of the fucking day,
if you're not willing to fight for yourself, no one's
gonna do it for you. No one's gonna save you,
no one's gonna fix your situation, no one's gonna come
in and take care of you. You have to understand

(12:30):
that you have to kick the world's ass every fucking
day because you choose to be fucking happy, You choose
to have a better fucking life. You choose to fucking
be the best fucking you, and guess what, not every
day is gonna be a fucking great day. But it's
always a day. It's always a day that you can
fucking choose to be Like, fuck this bullshit. I don't

(12:53):
give a fuck how I'm fucking feeling. Let me get
shit fucking done. Let me push myself fucking forward. Let
me establish in this world that I stand above it
because nothing can stop me, nothing can fucking hurt me,
and nothing can fucking keep me from my fucking goals.
You need to understand that these are these are mantras,

(13:14):
these are fucking thoughts, These are things that you have
to repeat to yourself on a daily fucking basis to
change your fucking brain wave, to change that mindset, to
fucking grow all right, because life will beat you down.
I constantly say it, because I fucking let it. I'm
a big, bad motherfucker. I get shit fucking done. Nobody

(13:37):
can fucking stop me, all right, I don't get I'm
a fucking fighter. I repeat this shit to myself every
fucking day because guess the fuck what I want to succeed.
I want to be better. I want something in this
world that is gonna fucking help me reach my goal,
which is happiness. All right. Happiness is something you have

(13:58):
to fucking choose and fight for or fucking stranglehold, because
it will slip out of your fucking hand so fucking
fast because of all the bullshit in the fucking world,
all right. And it takes fucking effort to be at
this fucking level. It takes fucking work to be at
this fucking level, to reach this fucking mountaintop. It takes

(14:19):
everything and every bit of your fucking soul to fucking
fight for all this fucking bullshit. And this bullshit is
your fucking happiness is bullshit, your fucking success. This bullshit
that I'm fucking talking about is what everybody fucking wants.
Everybody fucking wants a purpose, everybody wants a fucking a meaning.
Everybody wants this aspect of life that is just like

(14:42):
barely out of fucking reach. I don't understand what it is.
Guess the fuck what that fucking meaning? That happiness, that
something that's just out of fucking reach, is what you
fucking want. It's a goal we all chase. It's a
goal we all fucking run for. But the thing is,
it's the hard fucking goal of life, and you have
to fucking grind work, put in the time, put in

(15:06):
the effort, and understand it's all fucking worth it. Every moment,
every opportunity, every fucking chance of your life, it is
fucking worth it. And I'm telling you get it fucking done,
keep fucking working, keep fucking moving, because I fucking believe
in you. I believe in everybody that is fucking listening
