- 0:00Speaker 1: I feel so happy!
- 0:02Speaker 2: We're excited, we're excited. We're the friends.
- 0:08Speaker 1: We're the friend family, that's our last name is friend.
- 0:11Speaker 2: We're friends too, but we're also the friend family.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Kevin was definitely more organized, so I feel like I
- 0:17Speaker 3: came in and just.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Wrecked that ship. Right, babe?
- 0:19Speaker 3: But there's so much good that.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Came with that bad, right?
- 0:23Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 0:25Speaker 1: We got two kids out of it, that's the answer
- 0:26Speaker 1: for everything.
- 0:27Speaker 5: When you tell a story, and I mean every story,
- 0:31Speaker 5: you need three things. A main character or the protagonist,
- 0:34Speaker 5: a goal, and an antagonist or villain who tries to
- 0:38Speaker 5: stop the main character from achieving his goal. If you
- 0:41Speaker 5: don't have these elements, your story will be boring and
- 0:44Speaker 5: people won't listen or watch. Recently I've been focusing on
- 0:47Speaker 5: that last part though, the antagonist or the villain. But
- 0:50Speaker 5: more specifically, stories that do a good job of incorporating
- 0:53Speaker 5: multiple villains into the plot, like the first Harry Potter
- 0:56Speaker 5: book or even Ozark, Because real life isn't linear and simple,
- 1:00Speaker 5: it's complex. Usually when bad things happen, they all happen
- 1:03Speaker 5: at the same time. Usually when you have a goal,
- 1:06Speaker 5: multiple things or people try to prevent you from achieving
- 1:09Speaker 5: that goal. So when we talk about the issue of marriage,
- 1:12Speaker 5: it seems to me that people want to simplify their
- 1:14Speaker 5: problem to just one thing, which I believe Karen Strong
- 1:17Speaker 5: says it best. It's not that every woman will ruin
- 1:20Speaker 5: your life, it's that every woman can. Certainly a good perception,
- 1:25Speaker 5: but that idea by itself is not good enough. Because
- 1:28Speaker 5: if that was the only problem, then we would all
- 1:30Speaker 5: still be getting married. All you would have to do
- 1:32Speaker 5: is just find a woman who will never do that,
- 1:35Speaker 5: and the problem would be solved, even with the bad laws.
- 1:38Speaker 5: But that's not how it is. There's at least one
- 1:40Speaker 5: more problem. Women have all the power in the relationship,
- 1:44Speaker 5: and at the same time, they have zero idea of
- 1:47Speaker 5: what men value. The feminist propaganda was highly effective. They
- 1:52Speaker 5: took what men value, told women to do the exact opposite,
- 1:55Speaker 5: and it worked. The reason it worked is because every
- 1:59Speaker 5: relationship is based on value whether they are sexual or not.
- 2:03Speaker 5: If one or both sides are not providing value, then
- 2:06Speaker 5: the relationship becomes toxic or gets destroyed. And yes, feminists
- 2:10Speaker 5: did pull the same trick on men, but to a
- 2:13Speaker 5: much lesser degree because men can't survive without having earned
- 2:16Speaker 5: value like women can. So what often happens in the
- 2:19Speaker 5: case where men retain value but women don't is you
- 2:21Speaker 5: get a relationship like this. A husband provides value by
- 2:25Speaker 5: working his ass off while the lazy wife stays at home.
- 2:28Speaker 5: A perfect example of this comes from the Friend family
- 2:31Speaker 5: on the first episode of Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.
- 2:35Speaker 5: If you've never seen this show before, it's basically like
- 2:38Speaker 5: a Japanese Netflix version of Hoarders. People have dirty houses,
- 2:42Speaker 5: and Marie helps them tidy up.
- 2:44Speaker 1: So both of you work?
- 2:48Speaker 2: Well, he mostly works.
- 2:50Speaker 4: I teach intercultural communication a few days a week, but
- 2:53Speaker 4: I'm mostly home.
- 2:54Speaker 1: I'm 50, 60 hours a week, yeah, and then sometimes
- 2:57Speaker 1: on the weekends, I'm a sales manager for a restaurant
- 3:00Speaker 1: supply company.
- 3:01Speaker 5: This situation with Rachel and Kevin is something I often
- 3:04Speaker 5: see with women who say, but I work too. The
- 3:08Speaker 5: husband works all day, seven days a week with a
- 3:10Speaker 5: real job, and she works a fun job for a
- 3:13Speaker 5: few hours a week. Notice how he specifically gave how
- 3:16Speaker 5: many hours he works, and she didn't. There's a reason
- 3:20Speaker 5: for that. She wants to make her job look more
- 3:22Speaker 5: demanding than it is. So let's figure out just how
- 3:25Speaker 5: much she works through the power of math. She said
- 3:28Speaker 5: she teaches a humanities class a few days a week.
- 3:31Speaker 5: We can assume that's maybe two to four days a week.
- 3:34Speaker 5: A humanities course usually runs for about an hour and
- 3:36Speaker 5: a half, meaning that Rachel is working anywhere from three
- 3:39Speaker 5: to six hours per week versus Kevin, who works 50
- 3:42Speaker 5: to 60 hours on the weekdays and then sometimes throws
- 3:47Speaker 5: in extra hours on the weekend as a sales manager.
- 3:50Speaker 5: So Kevin is putting in 70 to 80 hours a
- 3:52Speaker 5: week And then he comes home and helps with the
- 3:55Speaker 5: housework while she works at most six hours a week
- 3:59Speaker 5: and feels overwhelmed.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Rachel always has one thing on her mind and that's
- 4:04Speaker 1: enjoying her life.
- 4:05Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we can all see that. This is
- 4:07Speaker 5: what I mean when I say women don't understand value.
- 4:10Speaker 5: For one, if she's working six hours a week teaching humanities,
- 4:14Speaker 5: then she probably is not making a significant contribution to
- 4:17Speaker 5: the finances and therefore doesn't need to work for the money.
- 4:21Speaker 5: if she's saying that her job is so stressful that
- 4:23Speaker 5: she can't keep it together at home where she's more valuable,
- 4:27Speaker 5: then she should quit her job. That's really what this
- 4:29Speaker 5: entire episode is about. They aren't fixing Kevin's problems, they're
- 4:33Speaker 5: fixing Rachel's. If you watch the show, you'll see that
- 4:36Speaker 5: all the problems in the house, including their arguments, stem
- 4:39Speaker 5: from the job that she is supposed to be handling.
- 4:41Speaker 5: She can't get it done, even though he helps her
- 4:44Speaker 5: after being at work for 12 hours. Imagine how mad
- 4:47Speaker 5: you would be if you had worked your ass off
- 4:48Speaker 5: all day and then had to come home and do
- 4:51Speaker 5: your wife's job, too.
- 4:52Speaker 2: He's definitely cleaner than I am, okay?
- 4:56Speaker 4: I'm not a super dirty person, but when it comes
- 4:58Speaker 4: to throwing my clothes over here and letting them pile
- 5:01Speaker 4: up and leaving the.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Laundry for a while, that's me.
- 5:04Speaker 3: Kevin was definitely more organized, so I feel like I.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Came in and just wrecked that ship.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Right, babe? But there's so much good that came with that.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Bad, right? Yeah. We got two kids out of it.
- 5:15Speaker 2: That's the answer for everything.
- 5:17Speaker 5: Just look at that. She is so unaware of how
- 5:19Speaker 5: much of a problem her behavior is that she doesn't
- 5:22Speaker 5: realize he insulted her by saying that she has literally
- 5:25Speaker 5: no value outside of her biology. In fact, Rachel even
- 5:29Speaker 5: stated that she has negative value because she claimed that
- 5:32Speaker 5: she took Kevin's clean environment and made it dirty. I mean,
- 5:36Speaker 5: it's not like this stuff takes forever. They live in
- 5:38Speaker 5: a small one-story three-bedroom house in Lakewood, California. She could
- 5:43Speaker 5: get most of the important cleaning done in about two
- 5:45Speaker 5: or three hours a day. That leaves her plenty of
- 5:48Speaker 5: time to have fun with the kids and cook the meals.
- 5:51Speaker 5: Staying at home is not an excuse to be lazy.
- 5:53Speaker 5: If you want to retain value and have a good relationship,
- 5:56Speaker 5: then if he is putting in 12 hours a day
- 5:58Speaker 5: at work, then you put in 12 hours a day
- 6:01Speaker 5: at home. You should be putting in so much work
- 6:03Speaker 5: that by the time he gets home, all he has
- 6:05Speaker 5: to do is spend time with the family and go
- 6:07Speaker 5: to sleep. When the nuclear family was at its peak,
- 6:11Speaker 5: that's what women did, instead of using staying at home
- 6:14Speaker 5: as an excuse to sit in front of the TV
- 6:15Speaker 5: all day. But it gets worse than that, because not
- 6:18Speaker 5: only is Rachel not holding up her end of the deal,
- 6:21Speaker 5: but she also wastes her husband's money on hiring someone
- 6:25Speaker 5: else to do her job.
- 6:27Speaker 1: So how do you separate them?
- 6:29Speaker 2: In categories? I think, so I don't do it.
- 6:33Speaker 4: We have someone help us do it, like a laundry person.
- 6:39Speaker 3: Because I hate doing laundry.
- 6:41Speaker 1: We fight about laundry, and it seems silly when I
- 6:44Speaker 1: say it, but really... It pisses me off, like, a lot.
- 6:50Speaker 1: It's not because she doesn't do the laundry. It's because
- 6:54Speaker 1: we hire somebody to come do it. It's not like
- 6:57Speaker 1: I'm saying, hey, you do the laundry, you watch the kids,
- 7:00Speaker 1: you do the dishes. I'm saying, no, we got to
- 7:02Speaker 1: do this, but let's do this as a family.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Hold on. No, I'm done. Okay, hold on a second.
- 7:09Speaker 2: With him working more, I'm home with the kids more.
- 7:12Speaker 2: And it's freaking chaos.
- 7:13Speaker 3: My kids are just like running around and being crazy.
- 7:16Speaker 2: And we'd never get anything done.
- 7:17Speaker 4: So I think to myself, what's an easy resolution? If
- 7:21Speaker 4: we don't have enough time, then maybe we can pay
- 7:24Speaker 4: somebody to do these things and that way we have
- 7:26Speaker 4: more time.
- 7:27Speaker 5: Man, look at those eyes she makes at the end.
- 7:29Speaker 5: You can also see her trying to avoid eye contact
- 7:31Speaker 5: with the camera because she knows what she's saying is
- 7:33Speaker 5: complete bullshit. Her body movements show that too. So basically,
- 7:37Speaker 5: the monetary value she brings in by teaching classes is
- 7:40Speaker 5: being destroyed because she hires someone to do laundry for her.
- 7:44Speaker 5: And what's worse is she hired someone to do something
- 7:46Speaker 5: that mostly involves you waiting for a machine to do
- 7:49Speaker 5: it for you, which means she's paying her maid for
- 7:52Speaker 5: idle time. This is what's driving her husband insane. And
- 7:56Speaker 5: I know people like to make it look like it's
- 7:57Speaker 5: not a big deal. Oh, it's just cleaning, get over it.
- 8:01Speaker 5: But it's a huge deal. Men don't want to come
- 8:04Speaker 5: home to a dirty house and have to make their
- 8:05Speaker 5: own food after working all day while you were at
- 8:08Speaker 5: home not answering to a boss and doing whatever you wanted.
- 8:12Speaker 5: This is a massive deal. If you don't think so,
- 8:15Speaker 5: then look at Rachel's husband's reaction to the change.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Rachel and I are, it's like, it gives me chills
- 8:23Speaker 1: a little bit. It's like, we're like happier. We're more
- 8:27Speaker 1: at ease. There's less, like there's less tension. When we're
- 8:31Speaker 1: doing things in the kitchen or when we're doing the laundry,
- 8:35Speaker 1: we're talking, we're having a conversation about our day and
- 8:38Speaker 1: et cetera. It's not something that takes away Take a
- 8:43Speaker 1: look at that. He even says that she is more
- 8:45Speaker 1: attractive now that she.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Adds actual value to the household. The intervention wasn't for
- 8:48Speaker 2: the Friend family. It was for Rachel. I'm just going
- 9:08Speaker 2: to say it. I hate laundry, okay? That actually gives
- 9:11Speaker 2: me anxiety.
- 9:12Speaker 4: But I know that if Kevin and I continue our habits,
- 9:15Speaker 4: my kids are going to be the exact same.
- 9:18Speaker 5: It's statements like this that reveal what the problem is.
- 9:20Speaker 5: Not only do women have the choice to be a
- 9:22Speaker 5: complete detriment to their relationship and still get what they want,
- 9:26Speaker 5: but even if they wanted to be a good wife,
- 9:28Speaker 5: they don't know how. They're supposed to learn these skills
- 9:31Speaker 5: in childhood. By the time she is an adult, she
- 9:33Speaker 5: should already know how to do laundry quickly so it
- 9:36Speaker 5: doesn't give her anxiety. She should know how to cook
- 9:39Speaker 5: amazing food. She should know how to manage kids from
- 9:41Speaker 5: experiences like babysitting. If you don't know that stuff by
- 9:44Speaker 5: the time you are married, then you are at a
- 9:46Speaker 5: significant disadvantage. A disadvantage that is probably only going to
- 9:49Speaker 5: be made up with lost sleep, and how many modern
- 9:52Speaker 5: women are willing to do that? How many modern women
- 9:55Speaker 5: are willing to sacrifice and put themselves through extreme stress
- 9:58Speaker 5: to learn skills they should have learned in childhood? How
- 10:00Speaker 5: many single mothers, who are already victims to their bad decisions,
- 10:04Speaker 5: are going to put in the work so that men
- 10:06Speaker 5: will stay around? The single mothers aren't going to do that.
- 10:09Speaker 5: They're too content with welfare and the other free stuff
- 10:11Speaker 5: they get. The rest of the women aren't going to
- 10:13Speaker 5: do that either. Everyone already does everything for them and
- 10:16Speaker 5: appeases them when they make bad decisions. Why bother with
- 10:19Speaker 5: all the stress when it's perfectly acceptable and encouraged to
- 10:23Speaker 5: live vastly below your potential? Now, I'm bringing this up
- 10:26Speaker 5: because that's what quite a lot of us were given
- 10:28Speaker 5: from the previous generation. That's what the millennials and Gen
- 10:31Speaker 5: Z inherited, an adult pool full of parents and teachers
- 10:34Speaker 5: and single mothers who didn't teach us anything about how
- 10:37Speaker 5: to be valuable to ourselves or other people. They didn't
- 10:39Speaker 5: pass down any of the important knowledge they were given
- 10:42Speaker 5: from their parents, and that's caused our generations to have
- 10:45Speaker 5: quite a few problems that we shouldn't have.
- 10:47Speaker 2: So?
- 10:48Speaker 5: If you want to defeat that neglect and the propaganda
- 10:50Speaker 5: you were taught as a kid while at the same
- 10:52Speaker 5: time harming the people who harmed you when you were young,
- 10:55Speaker 5: then become valuable. Your best revenge is always success. There
- 10:59Speaker 5: is nothing horrible people hate more than to see their
- 11:01Speaker 5: ideas failing while their enemy's ideas succeed. Now, I've already
- 11:05Speaker 5: made a lot of videos on building value, so I'm
- 11:07Speaker 5: not going to bore people by repeating old material, but
- 11:10Speaker 5: I will say this. If you want to be valuable,
- 11:13Speaker 5: then you can never be finished improving. And I know
- 11:16Speaker 5: that sounds obvious, but a lot of people don't act
- 11:18Speaker 5: that way. You can see it here right on YouTube.
- 11:21Speaker 5: There are many channels out there complaining that the algorithm
- 11:24Speaker 5: killed their channel, when in reality, the reason their channels
- 11:27Speaker 5: are dying is because they haven't improved at all since
- 11:30Speaker 5: they started. There are many YouTubers out there that you
- 11:32Speaker 5: can look at and say, wow, you produced the exact
- 11:35Speaker 5: same content in the exact same way that you did
- 11:37Speaker 5: five years ago. Well, I guess there's no point in
- 11:40Speaker 5: watching you anymore because you haven't really grown and I
- 11:43Speaker 5: can already predict everything you're going to say. Many YouTubers,
- 11:46Speaker 5: as well as people in other professions, get complacent and stagnant.
- 11:50Speaker 5: As the old saying goes, if you aren't getting better,
- 11:52Speaker 5: then you're getting worse. The way you get better is
- 11:55Speaker 5: by putting lots of effort into learning new things about
- 11:58Speaker 5: a valuable skill. You get worse by being okay with
- 12:01Speaker 5: the way you are, or by wasting time building skills
- 12:04Speaker 5: that are worthless. It's really that simple. All you have
- 12:08Speaker 5: to do is consistently put time into learning new things,
- 12:11Speaker 5: and then put those new things you learned into practice
- 12:13Speaker 5: after you learn them. But with that said, I think
- 12:16Speaker 5: that's enough for this video. So if you liked it,
