0:36Yes, that's right. But I'm stuck because my debt is high and I pay for my house. What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Think about how he broke that down. Anybody that can make that kind of money part-time while having a job, when they quit their job and go all in, he's going to triple his revenue. Also, he's 27 years old. Yeah, he has to quit. Honestly, I'm deciding not to go on a rant because all the rants are the same at this point. Everyone's a fuck face and just needs to fucking stop being scared of shit and stop judging everyone else, start judging yourself and being accountable.
1:07As a matter of fact, I'm never doing this show anymore. Here we go, I'm gonna break it down. All of you are scared because you overvalue people's opinions. All of you are judging everybody but yourself. You're not fucking accountable. You point fingers, not thumbs, and you don't realize how lucky you are. Thank you, I'm never doing this show again.
1:30Amen.
