Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm talking about your wife, your kids, your family, your friends,
everyone in your life. Never die, go die, never die
go dying, die die. All right, this is the Angry Dad.
(00:21):
Thank you guys for tuning in. I appreciate it. And
before getting today's podcast, I think think about podcast sponsors
every Day Fit Life. If you're looking to lose weight,
feel great, get in shape, all that good shit, you
can do that at every Day Fit Life. Look thirty
days of help, sixty days of help, ninety days of help.
These are programs that give you scheduled times to eat,
(00:43):
scheduled times to drink, scheduled times on how to help you,
step by step lose weight feel great. I'm not just
talking about getting lean or getting strong. There's two sets
of programs where if you want to lose weight tighten
up your body, guess what a lean body program. If
you want to build muscle and lose weight, guess what
(01:06):
you get the strong body program. Those two programs, and
like I said, if you need a certain amount of
days or extra help, you can pick how much help
you need with the program. So if you need thirty days,
ninety days, sixty days, this is to help you set
a habit and a boundary with yourself to create a
physique that you absolutely want. Because that's one of those
(01:28):
things is we all want to feel better, we all
want to look better, we all want this chance to
have this life. And you can do it with every
Day Fit Life. You get twenty percent off of code
Angry Dad at checkout, so make sure you check it out.
That's every Day Fit Life. The link is in the notes.
Please check it out, appreciate it. AT's getting today's show?
What today's show is? Look, it's Monday. What's the last
(01:52):
thing you did for yourself? You know, prioritizing oneself is
something that I stress on so much. We have to
prioritize yourself because by helping yourself, by helping you, you
create a better dynamic in your life. When you put
(02:12):
yourself off, when you put yourself last, when you prioritize
other people in your life before you, you lose on yourself.
And how do you say you lose on yourself? Well,
guess what. If you're not happy, You're not gonna make
anyone else happy. If you're not eating right and feeling good,
guess what everyone else around you is gonna feel that vibration.
(02:34):
They're gonna feel those emotions. You know, you have to physically, emotionally,
and mentally take care of yourself first, because the better
you are, the better you're going to be at helping
those that you love around you. If you're fucking tired,
if you're miserable, if your life fucking sucks, guess the
fuck what. It's a correlation between everything going on, you
(02:58):
know what I'm saying. A lot of us still run down,
a lot of us feel exhausted, a lot of us
feel that we're just not doing enough, and it all
stems from you not taking care of yourself. Look, there
is things called self care self love, and it might
sound woo woo. It might sound like, oh, that's for
fucking weak men. Like fuck no, it is what takes
(03:22):
care of you because the better you are in your life,
the better everyone else in your life will be. It
spills over it, absolutely fucking does. People might feel it selfish.
People might feel like, you know, I'm being this arrogant
fucking person because I prioritize myself first. Like no, it
(03:43):
doesn't work like that. At the peak of your life
is you. Everyone else around you is under you, all right,
and you know people are like, oh, I'm not above
everybody's That's not how this fucking works. You stand at
the top and the rest of you comes down. I'm
talking about your wife, your kids, your family, your friends.
(04:04):
Everyone in your life falls under you and they depend
on you to be you. So by you taking care
of yourself first, prioritizing yourself, your needs, your wants, and
just your mental fucking health, guess the fuck what, it
puts you in a stronger position to support everyone else
(04:26):
around you, because that's the biggest thing. You know, as
a man, we want to provide as a man, we
want to protect. As a man, we want to be valued. Well,
how do you become valued by being the person that
you need to be in your life? And how do
you do that? You take care of yourself. You go
(04:46):
to the gym, you work out, you educate yourself, you
keep yourself up to date, You make yourself happy. And
by doing these things, it trickles down because when you're happy,
your wife's happy, when you're w happy, the kids are happy,
when your family is happy, you're living your life to
the best. But once you start feeling miserable, guess what
(05:11):
that vibration is gonna put everybody fucking off when when
you're upset, everyone else in the house knows you're upset.
Your friends, your family, no one knows what to do
because you're keeping it to your fucking self. You know,
that's one of those things. It trickles down. The happier you,
(05:31):
the happier you want to be, the happier you need
to fucking make yourself. You need to push yourself, elevate yourself,
and bring yourself up because once you do that, everyone
else takes that step with you. That's the fucking truth
right fucking there. You know, there's so much toxicity out
(05:51):
in this fucking world that is telling you as a man,
as a person, shit, even as a woman. If you
don't bow down to what society is saying to do,
it's going to fucking paint you in this fucking light
of like your toxic masculinity. You're a fucking problem. You
(06:11):
hold no value because you don't do for others. It's like,
guess the fuck what you do for yourself before you
do for others. You know, when you're on a fucking plane,
they tell you when if there's an emergency, put your
oxygen on first, and then take care of yourself, because
if you do that, you will save the lives of
other fucking people. It's just what it is. I just
(06:33):
want people to understand that the more you prioritize yourself
in your life, the more it's going to affect those
around you. You know what I'm saying. If you're a
negative fucking person, if you're a piece of shit fucking person,
guess what, there's nothing you can do to fucking change that.
But if you're trying to be a positive, encouraging, fucking
you know, a wellspring of fucking knowledge and help and
(06:55):
love and all that fucking shit. The better you take
care of yourself, the more efficient it's going to be
towards everybody else. It just is what it is, you
know what I'm saying. When you're in the right fucking mindset,
when you're in the right fucking circle, when you place
yourself in a position to be this better fucking person,
it turns everybody else around you into that person. It's
(07:19):
just that's just what it is, you know what I'm saying.
We don't talk about it fuck enough because guess the
fuck what. They don't want that. They don't want a
strong male fucking figure. They don't want somebody who's a
pillar of the fucking community. They don't. And when I
see they guess what. It's the mainstream narrative because all
the stuff I ever see and guess what, it could
be my own algorithm. But it's always putting men down
(07:42):
for not having value, for not being this traditional fucking person,
for not holding values that they say are the most important.
I guess the fuck what. What the most important thing
is is self fucking care, self fucking love. The better
you take care of yourself, the higher level you're gonna
be in this fucking world. I can't stress it enough
(08:05):
because guess what I was that person who was miserable,
wasn't happy, was fucking putting himself off, was not taking
care of himself, was fucking heavy, four hundred and fifty
pounds at my fucking biggest all right, fucking unhealthy, working,
fucking you know, ten to fucking fourteen hours a day,
(08:27):
without seven days a week, never taking days off because
I just thought I needed to provide, I needed to
do this. But yet I'm miserable at work, I'm miserable
at home. I barely fucking sleep, I'm fucking exhausted, I'm
mentally exhausted. I'm physically exhausted. I cannot physically or mentally
take care of myself because I'm in I'm on this
rinse and repeat. Day of wake up, go to work,
(08:48):
come home with nothing in the fucking middle, not adding
to my fucking life, just collecting a fucking check, punching
in and punching out, coming home to fucking nothing, all right,
And when I mean nothing, my wife's asleep, my kids
are asleep. I am fucking burnt out, and I am exhausted,
and I don't have time for anything. But once I
(09:11):
started prioritizing myself, my fitness, my goals, what I truly
wanted in my life, That's when I made that shift.
All of a sudden, I'm healthy, all of a sudden,
I'm happy, all of a sudden, I feel better about myself.
All of a sudden, my self esteem is fucking there.
And I see and know my fucking worth, my value,
(09:35):
because now I can see it on the faces of
those that I fucking love. Because I've now taken myself
out of this fucking depression, out of this fucking anxiety,
to fucking create something, to create an atmosphere, create a family,
unit to create something that shows that I'm here to
support you, take care of you. I just don't. I'm
just not in and out of your fucking life. And
(09:56):
then all stems from making sure you prioritize you you.
It's not selfish to put yourself fucking first, because as
soon as you put yourself first, it changes the dynamic
of how you treat life. The better you are at
mastering life, the better you are at mastering yourself, the
(10:18):
faster everything in your life will evolve. It's just fucking
plain fucking science, all right. The better you want to be,
the better you need to make everything around you. You know,
I fucking work really hard at trying to be the
person I want to be because guess the fuck what
it makes me happy. It puts me in a position
(10:41):
in my life that is giving me something that I
thought I could never happen. And what that is is
stable happiness, fulfillment, enjoyment, and fucking being present in the moment.
Because those are the hardest things that I couldn't accept
in my life because I just didn't think I had
(11:02):
enough or did enough, or showed enough, or fucking was
the right husband, was the right father? Was this person
who's just falling short because all I did was prioritize
everyone else's feelings, everyone else's emotions, and everyone else's needs,
And so I never felt that I could provide enough
because I didn't realize what I needed, What was gonna
(11:23):
make me happy, what was gonna take me to that
next level, what was gonna make me feel fulfilled. I
say these things because it's fucking true, all right. I
want people to really understand this shit. You need to
make sure that you understand what putting your first, putting
yourself first means, because by putting yourself first, it absolutely
(11:47):
changes your life. It changes your perspective, It puts a
shift in you that other people can fucking see because
you're confident, you know what you fucking want, you fucking
you can see your goals fucking crystal fucking clear, and
you know what needs to be done. It's the craziest
fucking shit to fucking hear, but it's the fucking truth.
(12:11):
I wish I would have learned this at a much
younger age, but I didn't. I didn't have someone to
guide me, I didn't have someone to teach me. I
just kind of fucking lived on my fucking own doing
my own fucking thing, floating around thinking that I had
this concept of what being a fucking man was and
it was a complete misconception on my fucking part. But
(12:31):
I do this podcast. I do these things. I say
these things because guess what, If I can help one
fucking person, then I've done my fucking job. You know,
it's just a spark, It's just a starting point. It's
just an uh, a fucking shot in the dark to
help people understand that this ship is real. Happiness is
(12:54):
just on the other fucking side. You just need to
know how to get to the other side. And that's
why I do this fucking shit. So gets the fuck

ship YouTube, you want tosten to it, spreak your soundclouds,
stitch your Spotify, Google Play, Apple podcasts by being SoundCloud deezer,
