25:31
SPEAKER_01: A lot of parents don't even care.

30:03
SPEAKER_01: Like, I want him to be able to start from the bottom and learn everything, you know what I mean?
30:07
SPEAKER_01: So when he gets older, it wasn't given to him.
30:11
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
30:11
SPEAKER_01: Like he did everything he could to learn the business.
30:14
SPEAKER_01: Because I've worked at dealerships where the sons and stuff work there.
30:18
SPEAKER_01: They're fucking spoiled, dude.
30:19
SPEAKER_01: They treat people like shit because they never work for it.
30:21
SPEAKER_01: Their bit their parents pass it down to them.
30:24
SPEAKER_01: They didn't work for it, so they don't know how they don't know what it is to struggle.
30:27
SPEAKER_01: So they treat their workers like shit, they treat them like slaves, you know what I mean?
30:30
SPEAKER_01: They talk to them fucked up because you know what I mean?
30:32
SPEAKER_01: They don't know how it is.
30:33
SPEAKER_01: They just, you know, they got their their head up here, like where they're better than everybody else.
30:37
SPEAKER_01: I don't want my kids to be like that.
30:38
SPEAKER_01: I want them to be able to be, you know, care for other people, you know what I mean?
30:42
SPEAKER_01: Like to an extent though, you know what I mean?
30:44
SPEAKER_01: Because people take advantage of you, but I'm talking about like just the whole respect thing.
30:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know, that's what I want for my kids.
30:49
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, respect is I think respect is uh like giving when it comes to teaching your kids.
30:53
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it goes a long way too.
30:54
SPEAKER_02: Manners, courtesy, it goes a long way.
30:57
SPEAKER_02: Uh and then we're teaching our daughter like uh money comes from work.
31:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
31:03
SPEAKER_02: You work, you make money.
31:04
SPEAKER_02: You you you know, there's not gonna people you're not gonna con you're not gonna we're not a family, we're not a family that asks uh not asks, but like because it's okay to ask, you know, yeah, but like beg for money or or we need to work for our money.
31:17
SPEAKER_02: This is where money comes from.
31:18
SPEAKER_02: So I think that's a good thing.
31:20
SPEAKER_02: Even though we're gonna give them that inherit, you know, inheritance or whatever, they still understand the value of working for money.
31:28
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
31:28
SPEAKER_02: So hopefully when they do receive it, they're like mom and dad work their butts off to get to give this to us, you know what I mean?

40:58
SPEAKER_02: And you do less reps, yeah.
41:00
SPEAKER_02: Right instead of like a whole bunch, because your muscles will get smaller in that case?
41:04
SPEAKER_01: No, they won't get smaller, it's just it's just different, dude.
41:07
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
41:07

41:35
SPEAKER_01: And then it had like a bunch of strongman stuff outside and stuff, so it was more old school, like 1980s weights, man.
41:40
SPEAKER_01: It was all dead weight.
41:41
SPEAKER_01: There was hardly no cable machines there.
41:44

42:05
SPEAKER_02: Uh it seems like you do if you do like free weights or whatever, well, assuming that you do the correct movements or whatever, it helps your body long term.
42:12
SPEAKER_02: I think.
42:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
42:13
SPEAKER_02: Because the machines are just stationary and that you your body doesn't move with your body, like it just stays in one position.
42:20

SPEAKER_04: That she's that's like the base of of it all, that we just we love each other.
51:12
SPEAKER_04: I know he loves me, like, and he knows I love him.
51:15
SPEAKER_02: So I think that love is like is when you say love, a lot of people think feeling like you know what I mean, like roses and daisies or whatever you want to call it.
51:27
SPEAKER_02: Is that how you think about it, or do you think about it like like how do you think about that?
51:31
SPEAKER_01: I think love is all sacrificing like giving yourself up for that person that you love, you know what I mean?
51:37
SPEAKER_01: Like you do anything for that person, people don't do that no more, bro.
51:40
SPEAKER_01: You know, they think about themselves, they worry about themselves, you know what I mean?
51:44
SPEAKER_01: Like I do anything for my wife and my kids, like anything, you know, just what's that's how I think that's how it should be.
51:51
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
51:52
SPEAKER_01: Like, men don't think like that no more.
51:54
SPEAKER_01: And I think that's sad.
51:55
SPEAKER_01: They rather bet on their kids and their wife because they don't want to, they feel uncomfortable going to work, they don't want to do this, they don't want to do that, it's too much.
52:02
SPEAKER_01: Or, you know, I hate whenever like for instance, I know this one guy, he got out, he ain't worried, he wasn't working, he wasn't doing shit, living at his mom's house, whatever, and he's fucking 40-something years old, don't want to do anything.
52:14
SPEAKER_01: He got offered a job for$15.
52:16
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I ain't taking that.
52:16
SPEAKER_01: I'm worth more than that.
52:18
SPEAKER_01: Dude, you ain't doing shit sitting at home, you got your daughter there, you don't want to do anything, but you don't want to take the job because you're not good enough, it's not good enough for you.
52:25
SPEAKER_01: Wow, you know what I mean?
52:26
SPEAKER_01: To me, that's just an excuse of just being lazy, bro.
52:28
SPEAKER_01: You know, everybody's just getting lazy, man.
52:31
SPEAKER_01: They don't want to do anything.
52:32
SPEAKER_01: Like we were talking about this the other day.
52:34
SPEAKER_01: I was telling her, you know what?
52:35
SPEAKER_01: You know, you know, I started seeing like more money starting to come in now with the restaurant, things are getting a little bit better and stuff.
52:41
SPEAKER_01: And I told her, you know what?
52:42
SPEAKER_01: This is a big example of there's no fucking excuses in life, you know, because like I said, I got six felonies, bro.
52:49
SPEAKER_01: My back's fucked up, I can't really do hard labor, you know.
52:52
SPEAKER_01: I'm covered in tattoos, you know, I didn't graduate.
52:54
SPEAKER_01: If I go over there to ask for all that, I don't have none of that stuff, and I still figure out a way to make it happen because you know what I mean.
53:01
SPEAKER_01: Like you got to, man.
53:03
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
53:03
SPEAKER_04: But it it also helps that he has that work ethic since he was little because you know that's why even though he looks the way he looks and he, you know, his background, like people give him the chance because they they see that he's you know, so he's gonna back up what he says he can do.
53:19
SPEAKER_02: So that's in so that's important for you and y'all's relationship for him to have the I guess the ghana's or the the will to keep going and so that makes that makes a difference.
53:31
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's you know, I'm glad that you know he's around to show that for especially my daughters too, so that they know that their man has to be like that too, you know, that they're not gonna be their their dudes at home and they gotta go work to support their dude, like you know, bro.
53:46
SPEAKER_01: I got I got uh two sisters like that, bro.
53:48
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
53:49
SPEAKER_01: That they're dudes, they ain't worth a shit, bro.
53:51
SPEAKER_01: They don't they don't work, they don't do shit.
53:54
SPEAKER_01: My parents always paying their bills and stuff, and like it's it's fucking embarrassing, man.
53:58
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
53:59
SPEAKER_01: Like I just think it's I don't talk to them, I don't like them, you know, I don't, you know, because I don't feel like they're not they're not men to me, you know what I mean?
54:08
SPEAKER_01: You know, you don't take care of your family, you know what I mean?
54:09
SPEAKER_01: You're just there, you know, while she goes to work.
54:11
SPEAKER_01: That's come on, man.
54:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's pretty empathetic.
54:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, man.
54:17
SPEAKER_02: I think our society, we need men, we need men for for our for society, basically.
54:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know what I mean?
54:24
SPEAKER_02: For society to get to get better, I guess.
54:27
SPEAKER_02: I mean because it seems like the the uh the standard is going higher and higher and higher, but it's like dude, no, it doesn't have to be up here, and I think it's like that because social media oh I got this, I have that, you know what I mean?
54:43
SPEAKER_02: And it's not even that.
54:45
SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
54:45
SPEAKER_02: So it's it's the expectation is being set higher, and it's like no.
54:50
SPEAKER_02: Like think about grandma or grandma and grandpa, yeah, 14 kids, you know what I mean, been together for 60 years until they died.
54:58
SPEAKER_02: Like, what happened to that?
55:00
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
55:00
SPEAKER_02: You know, I think that the expectation is a lot of it is false expectation because of the false reality that the uh social media shows us, yeah, or T television or what have you.
55:13
SPEAKER_02: Uh so I I that's another reason why I wanted to have you both of y'all on here to maybe touch on this area because y'all have been together for so many years.
